The difference between the highest percentage and the average of the two lower percentages was used as a measure of consistency (Additional file 1: part D, Figure D1).
In the third comparison clustering between A vs C1 and A vs C2, 38 DTGs (37 up- and 1 down-regulated) showed consistency (Additional file 14: Table S11).
We chose human and rice (or human vs. chimpanzee and rice Nipponbare vs. 93-11) as examples to assess the consistency (Additional file 1, Fig. S5 – S5).
A similar but non-significant trend was seen when we averaged the pairwise UniFrac distances among surgical samples from an individual (i.e., the average of all pairwise distances between inflamed ileum, healthy ileum, and healthy colon from a single patient at the time of surgery): Crohn's patients with recurrence showed less consistency (Additional file 2: Figure S4B).
The reliability of pain assessment scores was measured using inter-rater reliability (agreement between raters), test-retest (extent to which a tool achieves the same result on two or more occasions when the condition is stable) or intra-rater reliability (agreement of the same rater at different time points) and internal consistency (Additional file 9).
For consistency, all files were normalized to 26 dBov using the ITU-T P.56 voltmeter [52].
UPTReC provides a probabilistically guaranteed file consistency.
Mathematical analysis is performed for optimal parameter selections that achieve minimum overhead messages for maintaining file consistency.
As more and more applications with dynamic files are introduced in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, file consistency maintenance becomes important.
In this paper, we propose a novel file consistency maintenance algorithm, called Update Propagation Through Replica Chain (UPTReC), for decentralized and unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems.
Then, the client regenerates a tag (T^{prime }=H(H(F))) and checks whether (T^{prime }) is equal to T. Furthermore, an interactive version of RCE, called interactive randomized convergent encryption (IRCE), has been proposed [4], by which a client can check the consistency of a file tag by interacting with the CSP.
