Our model experiments demonstrate that combining benchmarking techniques with good experimental design and sensitive environmental analytical chemistry may open new opportunities for quantifying chemical persistence, particularly for relatively slowly degradable chemicals for which current methods do not perform well.
In this study, based on a previous finding, we empirically identified a region in the PCA subspace that represents a set of matrices that are suitable for detecting distantly related proteins, by combining benchmarks and PCA of the nine existing matrices from BCG, BLOSUM and VTML series.
Also, feedback of patient safety culture surveys, combined with benchmark data are found highly informative [ 12].
This policy was combined with benchmarking of farms, and later veterinarians, to identify persistently high users of antimicrobial drugs (14 ).
We have developed BMDExpress, a Java application that combines traditional benchmark dose methods with gene ontology classification in the analysis of dose-response data from microarray experiments.
We have implemented a sophisticated statistical procedure involving non-parametric tests combined with a benchmark smoothing technique that has proven to be a powerful method for empirical trend analysis to remove the stochastic component from the trend component in a time series.
The threshold was optimized by combining multiple benchmarks (see below).
To study the consequences, if any, of practice benchmarking combined with a feedback process, could help continuously monitor and improve faculty development [ 31].
The aggregate benchmark data included numeric presentation of pooled means, medians, and key percentile distributions of the prevalence of selected antimicrobial-resistant organisms, stratified by ICU areas combined, non-ICU inpatient areas combinon-ICU inpatientnt areas combined (18).
