Three convergent methodologies (Galvanic Skin Response GSR; cardiac dynamics via Inter-Beat Interval IBI; right hand temperature change RHTC) were performed on two groups with contrasting caregiving experience: fathers of typically developing children (n = 10) and non-fathers (n = 10).
Here we present convergent methodologies using theoretical calculations, empirical assessment on in-house and publicly available datasets as well as in silico simulations, that validate a panel of SNPs for a variety of necessary tasks in human genetics disease research before resources are committed to larger-scale genotyping studies on those samples.
Evidence from studies applying convergent methodologies has established a role for lateral anterior prefrontal cortex [PFC; Brodmann area (BA) 10] in metacognitive judgements of perception (Del Cul et al., 2009; Fleming et al., 2010, 2012; Yokoyama et al., 2010; Lau and Rosenthal, 2011; McCurdy et al., 2013).
The preparation and use of such probes demonstrates that the mild, convergent Suzuki methodology described here can be successfully applied to the generation of even multiply modified DNA strands that contain useful and sensitive, natural and nonnatural moieties.
Their utility in constructing dendritic frameworks with 4, 6, or 12 peripheral acetylene groups using either the convergent or divergent methodology, and their functionalization with desirable end groups are demonstrated.
We have adopted an integrated mixed methodology (convergent, parallel design) for this study.
Conversely, branched RNAs were assembled using a well-established convergent solid-phase methodology [ 33].
We will conduct a convergent parallel mixed methodology [ 41], longitudinal, multi-site, single-blind randomized controlled trial.
As a convergent parallel mixed methodology design, the quantitative and qualitative portions of the study will provide different but complementary perspectives on caregivers' experiences with support received [ 41].
An integrated mixed methodology (convergent, parallel design) has been adopted for the BASIC-HHD study in a combined cross-sectional and prospective study design.
