A couple of weeks before that spring semester began, I had been in Massachusetts collecting impressions for this project by testing the frame of reference in a piece of mine called "Elicitation," which was soon to run in The New Yorker.
To select from the data base the most reliable genes, we first assessed reproducibility by testing the level of concordance in 14 reference experiments.
Our aim was to estimate the rate of data linkage error in Hospital Episode Statistics HESS) by testing the HESID pseudoanonymisation algorithm against a reference standard, in a national registry of paediatric intensive care records.
It shows better performance than several available module identification tools by testing on the reference responsive gene sets.
By testing a reference food, the GI method takes into account 'between-person variation'.
The PCR protocols were evaluated by testing 12 reference isolates and 496 field strains of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).
These cultures were used to evaluate the female fertility of each evolved strain, by testing against reference strains of known mating types, as described below.
Compatibility of the assay with the IS was evaluated by testing reference materials with known ISpercentt ratios determined by an international group of IS-standardized laboratories.
The complete per cent agreement is the percentage of isolates tested by the test method that gave the same category as those tested by the reference method.
