Such analyses consist of compiling incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), which are calculated as a ratio of the difference in costs to the difference in effectiveness between the intervention being evaluated and the comparison intervention.
(At some point, writing reviews will be a thing of the past: My job will consist of compiling lists of things I should or did watch. And then I will be replaced by a robot, which I predict will burn out within a month).
In an FMEA, the basic process consists of compiling lists of possible component failure modes (all the ways in which an entity may fail), gathered from descriptions of each part of the system, and then trying to infer the effects of those failures on the rest of the system.
The NYPD's spying -- which according to secret Intelligence Division documents consists of compiling information on hundreds of mosques, Islamic schools, Muslim-owned businesses and non-governmental groups, Muslim student groups and "persons of interest" -- is not confined to New York City.
Our approach to identify the full complement of K-Channel genes in the current finch assembly consisted of first compiling a list of all protein coding genes recognized as K-Channels in humans, then BLAT-aligning the predicted protein sequences to the genome assemblies of zebra finches and other vertebrates of comparative interest, followed by orthology confirmation through synteny analysis.
Using the molecular signature database (http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/msigdb/index.jsp) at the Broad Institute, we found that GO term GO 0045595 (REGULATION OF CELL DIFFERENTIATION) consists of a compiled set of 59 genes related to differentiation.
The physical and behavioural symptoms were assembled from those described previously in the paediatric literature 7, 8 and mood symptoms consisted of a compiled list of conventionally perceived negative (e.g. 'mean') and positive (e.g. 'silly') emotions.
Bearing in mind such industrial demands as computing efficiency and simple factory-floor operation, the control layers are parameterized by means of functional operators consisting of pieces of compiled code that can be passed as parameters between the layers.
Our workflow consisted of computing statistical correlations to compile peak lists, followed by database searching to identify metabolites.
The tests could easily take 4 or 5 hours of work and consisted of anything from compiling a news-type article for the launch of a new wonder drug to editing a nasty translation of some clinical data reports.
My appeal to receive additional information was denied on several grounds: some of the information consisted of "investigatory records compiled for law-enforcement purposes," I was told, or would involve disclosing "the identities of confidential sources and confidential information".
