In each immunostaining, sections from each time point were processed together to minimize variability attributable to handling conditions.
To minimize variations attributable to potential fluctuations in culture conditions, we compared neurons from DAP12KI or WT and from maternally inflamed or control P0 pups in sister cultures.
In order to minimize losses attributable to a fail in locate the patient, up to six telephone calls will be made at different times and on different days; after six failed calls, will try to contact the patient by the general practitioners.
We sought to determine optimal prioritization of vaccine distribution among different age and risk groups within the Canadian population, to minimize influenza-attributable morbidity and mortality.
Given the uncertainty surrounding optimal vaccine allocation strategies and the unique epidemiological characteristics of pH1N1, we sought to determine optimal prioritization of vaccine distribution among different age groups in order to minimize influenza-attributable morbidity and mortality in the Canadian population.
Two of the judges in the case — Karen LeCraft Henderson and Janice Rogers Brown — wrote that "we by no means intend to minimize the carnage attributable to Slough, Heard and Liberty's actions.

All 28 studies used a prospective design; thus, the differential misclassification of coffee consumption attributable to recall bias was minimized.
"DOD's current ability to minimize risks to the public is attributable to Guantanamo Bay's remote location and limited access, whereas DOD's corrections facilities in the United States are generally located on active military installations in close proximity to the general public," the report says.
By contrast, preferential vaccination of individuals with underlying medical conditions, regardless of age, was consistently observed to be an effective strategy to minimize hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths attributable to pH1N1.
