Binks and colleagues [ 22] recently assessed the ability of a number of published and novel PCR-based methods to discriminate NTHi from closely-related Haemophilus species compared with recA and 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and reported that an assay targeting sequence diversity within the hpd gene, which encodes for Protein D, was superior to other molecular signatures.
Previously, we described some approaches based on electron microscopy methods to discriminate vegetative, dormant, and dead cells in both aged microbial cultures and environmental samples, including permafrost.
Therefore, it is crucial to propose scoring methods to discriminate the relevant and significant motifs.
Vitamin D is measured on automated immunoassay platforms using a binding assay that does not discriminate between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3, whereas mass spectrometry based methods can discriminate between the two forms [ 6].
Davatzikos et al. used a high-dimensional non-linear pattern classification method to discriminate lie-telling from truth-telling based on brain activity [ 11], ignoring the interactions between brain regions (functional connectivity).
Other study used classification method to discriminate between primary and secondary dengue infections based on IgG antibody levels and the number of days of symptoms [ 18].
Multi-locus typing based on a limited number of genes is the most common method to discriminate between Giardia assemblages [ 4].
We propose a simple and rapid method to discriminate SHV-type extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes in P. aeruginosa based on PCR techniques (PCR-RFLP and RSI-PCR).
Then, we introduce a support vector machine method to discriminate the halophilic and non-halophilic proteins, by using a novel Pearson VII universal function based kernel.
This paper proposes a method to discriminate oscillation properties.
Voice activity detection (VAD) is a method to discriminate speech segments from input noisy speech.
