From these patient episodes, we selected 1,661 patient episodes of sepsis for study based upon the criteria described in the 'Methods' section (Figure 1).
The volume ranges of reagents and sample were adopted based upon the criteria of that to obtain significant absorbance and acceptable repeatability.
In Phase 4, the empirical evidence generated from this study, based upon the criteria rated by nurses in this study as being most clinically important and essential during the decision making process, determined the ESAT design.
First, because each sample mount may contain hundreds of individual ash grains, we are only able to measure vesicle imprints on a small percentage of the grain population, thus the selection of grains for imaging is solely at the discretion of the researcher based upon the criteria outlined previously, and as a result, may be somewhat subjective.
The separation into these three species was based upon the criteria that >10% differences at the amino acid level for any viral gene product discriminate between species within the Luteoviridae [11], [12].
In total, 30 HP genes were chosen for analysis, based upon the criteria discussed in the Results above.
Statistical significance is based upon the criteria of p < 0.05 for a Student's t-test (two-tailed, equal variance).
For the purpose of this analysis, knowledge was categorized and compared based upon the criteria described in the statistical procedures (section Materials and Methods).
Admission and discharge criteria for the ICU and IMC were based upon the criteria defined by Knaus and colleagues and Keenan and colleagues [ 11- 14].
Admission and discharge criteria for the ICU and IMC were based upon the criteria defined by Knaus et. al and Keenan et al. [ 13, 14].
