To this end the lattice parameters of the metals investigated – nickel, copper, iron and tungsten – were precisely determined by correcting for influences of stacking faults, in the face-centred cubic metals, as well as by correcting for instrument-related aberrations.
Volumes were 1) realigned to the last functional scan to correct for head movements, 2) co-registered with the T1 scan using SPM8 (http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk), and 3) corrected for influences of global signals and general movement by regressing out the global mean signal, the average ventricular signal, the average white matter signal and 6 motion parameters.
The results for birth weight were statistically corrected for influence factors such as the mother's smoking habits, diabetes, and hypertension.
Quantile normalization (QN) is used to reduce between sample variations and centers the signal between arrays (correcting for influence of position on the slide).
QN is a common procedure in high throughput data analysis to reduce between-sample variation and it optimally centered the signal between arrays, correcting for influence of the position on the slide (Fig. S4 ).
Gender and age have previously been found to influence the ERP so they were included in order to correct for their influences [42], [43].
In addition, the growth pattern after birth can have an influence on the endothelial function (52), but since we have a well-characterized cohort, we can correct for such influences as well.
The interviews were evenly distributed among four consecutive 3-months periods to correct for seasonal influences.
Results: We present a new method to measure and correct for these influences using a simple graphical model.
To correct for seasonal influences, e.g. traumatic rotator cuff tears in winter, we selected 20 reports from each month.
The present study investigates the detailed mechanisms associated with the influence of scattering properties on the SFFL intensity measured in a turbid medium, and develops a mathematical model to correct for these influences.
