However, this problem could be mitigated if data from one brand could be accurately converted to another, as long as the true relationship between PA and the counts from at least one AM brand was known.
The counts from triplicate wells were averages.
When there were large discrepancies between the 2015 counts from the C.D.C. and the state or county, we used the percent change from 2015 to calculate our 2016 estimate.
The position in time of each cough sound was also noted so that any discrepancies between the cough counts from each device could be easily identified.
Pooling the spot counts of the seven donor/antigen combinations with a positive response, a comparison was made between the spot counts from labs that did an overnight rest with those that did not.
The average gap width between the nanotubes was estimated to be 30 ± 5 nm, which could be derived from the histogram of the gap width between the nanotubes (counted from 324 individual CNTs) in Fig. 7d.
Our results showed no effect of density on overall cannibalism levels, but a strong correlation between cannibalism counts from the same maternal lines across densities.
A comparison between read counts from the sequencing approach and real-time expression levels is not straight forward, but Fig. 4 shows that, except for miR-551b, up or down regulation considering N+ or N0 groups was consistent in tissue and plasma.
Furthermore, we attempted to see if there were any correlations between the number of counts from a given tissue and diversity of expression, however we did not find any such patterns.
To estimate population exposure, we used a logistic curve to interpolate between population counts from administrative censuses taken annually from 1901 to 1963 (16, 35), counts from the 1975 and 1993 national censuses, and the provisional count that was done in 2009 as part of the mapping of the forthcoming census (which has been delayed because of the political crisis).
