Finding a ready-made convert meant nothing now; he had lost an antagonist and he stood suddenly on the awful edge of a dreary desert of acquiescence and accord.
The correlations of LD, SK, and SKD with MC for mean absorbed dose to tumors, NL, and RL could potentially be used to convert mean absorbed doses between the different VBDM for our image acquisition protocol.
The Quantitative Flow CytoMetry flowmeter was used to convert mean fluorescence intensity into AB/C (Quantibrite®, Becton, Dickinson and Company).
The program ANTHRO 2005 (WHO, 2006) was used to convert mean height follow-up measurements into height-for-age Z-scores.
This would not have been possible without individual patient information because methods to convert mean summary data into dichotomous form exist only for 4 6 hours [ 2- 4].
Trimmed values (10%) were fitted separately for each group based on power functions (Equation 3 in Additional file 1) and natural log transformations (Equation 4 in Additional file 1) to convert mean VAS (v) into utility scores (u).
Standardized fluorescent microbeads (Quantium 24P and 25P; Bangs Laboratories, Fishers, IN) were run with each experiment to convert mean channel numbers to molecules of equivalent soluble fluorochrome (MESF) (Gavras et al. 1994).
We converted means, correlation coefficients, and regression coefficients reported for continuous variables to odds ratios according to published formulas.
The drawback of this strategy was that the need not to alienate these centre-right converts meant that New Labour in office was often disconcertingly rightwing, alienating its core vote.
Comparing WBRT to C1 with WBRT to C2, the mean left, right, and both parotids' doses were lower when treated to C1. Converting mean dose to BED3, the parotid doses were lower than BED3 constraint of 32.83 Gy: left (30.12 Gy), right (30.69 Gy), and both parotids (30.32 Gy).
