Given preferences across the professional groups derived from the focus groups, a booklet format was chosen and it was also decided that the IDEAS chart would be designed to be of sufficient length to avoid supplementary charts (eg, specific charts for medications such as warfarin or insulin, and repetitive transcriptions from one chart to another due to space running out).
By incorporating the L1-RPS kernel in an optimized implementation of a kernel-based BN scoring approach, the information stripping data discretization step in the conventional BN learning methods is avoided (Supplementary information, Methods S1).
By constructing the Lyapunov Krasovskii functional appropriately, we can avoid the supplementary requirement that the time-derivative of time-varying delay must be smaller than one.
To avoid the supplementary modifying stage made for silica particles, some previous experiments used unmodified solid particles to stabilize the emulsion under carefully controlled conditions.
Genomes between 2 and 6 Mb in length representing the phyla Actinobacteria (n = 77), Firmicutes (n = 154) and Proteobacteria (n = 280) were selected from RefSeq (Pruitt et al., 2012), choosing one genome per species to avoid redundancy (Supplementary File 1).
Almost all the primers used span an exon-exon junction to avoid DNA amplification (Supplementary Table 1).
As the amino-acid sequences of RAD21 and RAD21L are similar in the amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal regions, we carefully prepared antibodies to avoid cross-reaction (supplementary Fig S3 online).
Transects were situated at least 50 m inside the habitat to avoid edge effects (see supplementary material: Fig. S1, Table S1 for coordinates and a map showing the locations of transects).
We limited the model to three additional covariates (p<0.1 in unadjusted analyses) to avoid overfitting (see online supplementary table S2).
