Average raw Cycle threshold values (Ct-avg), standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variability (CV) and sample size (n) for the qRT-PCR analyses of RNA samples from 20 patients with multiple sclerosis compared to 20 age and gender matched control subjects.
In Table 5, we explored the average (Avg)., standard deviation (S.D) and coefficient of variation (C.V., expressed in %) of the variables: weekly deliveries, employees, sales area, suppliers and items received.
A total of 20 704 non-duplicate reads (mean=348) mapped to our three clade-specific markers per library, and the estimated Symbiodinium clade proportions were highly consistent across the three markers (avg. standard deviation across markers =2.8%; Table 1 and additional file 3: table S3).
Hence, we employ average (AVG) or standard deviation (STD), and in some cases the sum total (TOT) of these quantities for further analysis.
In contrast, adding naphthalene to sediments from nearest to an industrial outfall (station 4) inhibited bacterial production to a lesser extent (25 34% at 25 μg addition) and even showed some stimulation of production (−32%, Table 3).> -wrap-foot> Bacterial production (average (AVG) and standard deviation (SD)) for sediment samples (μg kg−1 day−1) with naphthalene added (μg).
G2, G3 and G4 curves had an average 2, 3 and 4 times the G1 average (avg) and a standard deviation √2, √3 and √4 times the G1 standard deviation (sd), respectively.
The estimated bandwidth averaged over 5 TFC trials (Avg-TFC) with standard error is compared with the reference bandwidth.
To determine whether a gene is "significantly present", the average signal value (Signal-Avg) and the standard deviation [Stdev and Stdev] were calculated using Affymetrix® Data Mining Tool Software (version 3.1) and Microsoft® Excel 2003.
