In an earlier paper (Wilbur et al., 2006), we introduced criteria for characterizing statements made in the literature along several dimensions, namely: focus (e.g. methodology, scientific discovery or generic), polarity (positive versus negative statement), level of certainty, type of evidence and trend (increase or decrease in certain measurement).
Participants and non-participants did not differ significantly in mean child age at follow-up, gender, family status, place of residence, certainty and type of maltreatment, and type of perpetrator.
Because read depth analysis cannot identify with certainty the type of rearrangement that underlies the CNV, characterization of the type of medium- and large-scale structural genomic variations would require longer reads, larger inserts between paired-end reads, and longer scaffolds than those used in this study.
It is impossible presently to predict with certainty what type of government will finally emerge from the frantic alliance-building efforts now being undertaken by Kadima leader Tzipi Livni and Likud's Binyamin Netanyahu.
It is not possible to establish with certainty the type of role in public life an individual must have to justify public access to information about them via a search result.
With the advent of new technology (LiDAR, GIS, slope-stability tools), used in combination with stereoscopic analysis of aerial photography that pre-dates planting, it is possible to anticipate with reasonable certainty the type and location of geomorphic responses during and following major storm events.
This feature is great for protecting users privacy but terrible when it comes to policing fake news, as even the company can't say with any certainty what type of content is being shared on its network.
Although it is not known with certainty what type of contact between two individuals is sufficient for transmission of a pathogen, it has been shown that conversational contacts or social contacts in close proximity are a good proxy for contacts leading to transmission [5].
Further, participation may be correlated with certainty and type of maltreatment.
Therefore, we believe that these results are useful, even though it cannot be determined with certainty which type(s) of cells express the genes detected.
The only real certainty surrounds the type of candidate City would want to replace Pellegrini.
