Although many scientists doubt that the vaccine will protect against infection by itself, some say it may be useful when combined with other types of vaccines.
These authors found an AUROC of 0.91, 0.87, and 0.72 for CRP, PCT, and sCD 163, respectively, and concluded that CRP and PCT levels could be useful when combined with results of CSF examination to help diagnose bacterial meningitis.
Acupuncture can also be useful when combined with other interventions including education and behaviour modification [ 13- 15].
This is useful when combining multiple genes in a single multi-locus coalescent analysis (e.g. [ 37]) or to allocate different evolutionary processes to different regions of a sequence alignment (such as the codon positions; e.g. [ 6]).
Nevertheless, Sr isotopes are useful when combined with other hydrochemical data, to constrain models of water rock interaction and mixing as well as geochemical processes such as ion-exchange.
The raw data log is useful when combined with analytical tools to help enhance the operational aspects of the intervention, and to manage (and also measure) the engagement throughout the entire period of study.
Leaf coloring may also be useful when multiple centers combine data, as it becomes immediately apparent how similar sequences are among different cohorts.
The immobilized iron oxide/gold nanoparticles in the layer-by-layer-fabricated films exhibited an efficient electron transfer, which could be useful when such films are combined with other conjugated materials to detect electroactive species that are highly relevant in medical applications.
Combining multiple distance matrices into a single 'merged' matrix could be useful when different input attributes are important.
Combined reporting of focus group and interview data can be useful when collecting the same kind of data from the same kinds of participants [ 28, 29].
