Up to that point all that was offered were official denials, moral indignation and confirmation from Campbell that "there is an inside-military & customs services assessment process to look at the question of what we were doing, what we knew, who was engaged – so to essentially create a capacity to characterise whether there's some substance to allegations".
As we cannot rely on knowing whether the phenomenon is chancy in advance of developing a theory of it, it is extremely important to be able to characterise whether the data is random or not directly, without detouring through prior knowledge of the process behind it.
Here, we sought to characterise whether changes in metabolic state systematically influence human risk-attitude in financial decisions.
This is not strictly true, the major barrier to fully characterising these networks, indeed characterising whether they truly exist or not is an experimental one.
Objective To characterise whether some selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants reduce tamoxifen's effectiveness by inhibiting its bioactivation by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP450).
We sought to characterise whether dexamethasone (DEX) may enhance tumour response to docetaxel in in vitro and in vivo models of metastatic prostate cancer (CaP).
Further tests (including RDW, blood films, serum ferritin levels etc) might then be added to existing blood samples or performed following recovery to further characterise whether an iron-deficient state or alternative explanation for the microcytosis is present.
It will be of importance to characterise whether these molecules, or additional ones that may be shown of importance in the future, are also linked to NF- κB activation in human prostate cancers.
As mentioned in the Methods, the spatial extent of each protein is described by a Gaussian of width 20 Å. Examining the proportion of each domain under each of these Gaussians allows us to characterise whether each protein is sitting in the Lo domain (defined as >80% Lo), the Ld domain (>80% Ld) or at the interface (anything else).
To characterise whether antibodies revealed in the immunoblots had similar molecular weight to those in caprine sera, blot strips that demonstrated antibody bands were reprobed with polyclonal goat anti-MMTV antisera (α-MMTV, 1 : 3000) followed by the HRP-conjugated rabbit anti-goat secondary antibody.
