The analysis ascertained the independent prognostic value of the 2-snoRNAs model in our series (p = 0.0007, Table 5).
Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis ascertained the latent dimensions of the questionnaires, as well as the factor structures of the competencies model for the Chinese doctors.
The strengths of this study include the examination of a geographically and demographically diverse population of U.S. women who participated in a large randomized trial of postmenopausal hormone therapy, the rigor with which VTE outcomes were ascertained, and the analysis of PM10 as well as PM2.5, the particle size most relevant to regulatory efforts in the United States.
Dependability and confirmability were ascertained by the analysis process: a second investigator checked the reliability of coding; final themes were identified through consensus and were compared to original data in order to verify if they reflected an accurate representation of the participants' experiences of the intervention.
The goal of the TIC Genetics study is to undertake a comprehensive gene discovery effort, focusing both on familial genetic variants with large effects within multiply affected pedigrees and on de novo mutations ascertained through the analysis of apparently simplex parent child trios with non-familial tics.
To ascertain the proteomic analysis and validation of elevated PF-4 in Lady mice receiving an E/S/L-supplemented diet, prostate tissues were processed and immunostained for PF-4 and α2β-integrin (CD41), the latter being a surface marker of platelets, which are the biological vehicles of PF-4 in vivo (see discussion).
Competing-risks analysis ascertained the likelihood of survival to transplantation.
Thin film properties, such as crystallinity, identification of deposited phases, surface morphology and chemical compositions were probed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, which ascertained the evolution of good quality crystalline hemispherical architecture composite oxide thin films from 1.
From this analysis, we ascertained the likely geographic origin of imported viruses.
We then ascertained the reliability of conducting eQTL analysis when using genotypes derived solely from the RNA-seq data.
