Disciplines were attributed based on how the ESI database had classified the journal in which the paper appeared, and the pure-applied status of discipline followed classifications identified in previous studies (for further details see [36]).
By visual inspection of the 64 remaining sscDNA sample electropherograms an sscDNA quality score of 1 4 was attributed, based on average size distribution and extent of overlay with positive control electropherograms, with "1" representing highest quality (Figure 7 C F).
For each procedure, the costs were attributed based on the procedure costs adopted by the Brazilian Public Health System.
For each procedure, costs were attributed based on procedure costs of the Brazilian Public Health System.
Missing data were attributed based on the "last known result carried forward" principle.
A comprehensive overall score ranging from 1 (maximum dysfunction) to 100 (maximum functioning) was attributed, based on score obtained at each single area.
The cost-effectiveness ratio of costs were evaluated per correctly diagnosed TB case and all procedures costs were attributed based on the procedure costs adopted by the Brazilian Public Health System.
a For each procedure, costs were attributed based on procedure costs of the Brazilian Public Health System (US$1.44 for AFB smear and US$1.99 for Culture) and from CDCT/FEPPS (US$11.77 for PCR dot-blot), assuming investment laboratory equipment for 5 years; bStaff salary was considered; for laboratory technician, US$2,860 per year; for Laboratory technologist, US$6,400 per year.
Among the high-throughput technologies, gene expression profiling has led to the identification of genes that perform in a coordinated manner allowing researchers to reasonably predict the role of genes for which no biological function was attributed, based on the known performance of other group members.
It should be noted that the estimate of the fraction of CHD risk that can be attributed to eggs was based on an apportionment analysis that included a number of modifiable risk factors.
