Using biopsy (Marsh ≥ 2) as the criterion standard, areas under ROC curves (AUCs) and likelihood-ratios were calculated to estimate the performance of antibody tests against tissue transglutaminase (TG2), deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) and endomysium (EMA).
With a given set of criteria, areas which have high potential for wind energy development were quantitatively identified.
Spatial analysis was used to identify rental properties based on three inclusion criteria (affordability, proximity to public transportation, and proximity to grocery stores), three exclusion criteria (areas of high crime, prostitution, and sexual predator residence), and three suitability criteria (proximity to health care, mental health care, and youth serving organizations).
The risks were calculated using five criteria: area affected, vulnerability of affected population, severity of impact, irreversibility of effect and uncertainty.
The total inflammation score was determined by the average score of the following criteria: area involved, the number of follicle aggregates, oedema, fibrosis, hyperplasia, erosion/ulceration, crypt loss and infiltration of granulocytes and mononuclear cells.
We assessed the methodological quality of the included studies using six criteria; area studied, population studied, cause and manner of death studied, how the reliability were assessed, the information the re-evaluations were based on, and number of cases included.
In addition, technical image quality was scored as good, sufficient or insufficient, based on the following projection criteria: area around the nipple well imaged, pectoral muscle imaged, nipple in profile, inframammary angle clearly imaged (MLO view only).
Targets in the PDTD database were further categorized into several subsets according to two criteria: therapeutic areas and biochemical criteria.
From a linear mixed model analysis and model selection by Akaike's information criterion values, areas of source habitats, soybean fields and rice paddies were selected for the best model, but the abundance of S. rubrovittatus was not.
The Big East's seven other football schools voted last March to drop Temple, saying the Owls consistently failed to meet criteria in areas like attendance, stadium availability and nonconference scheduling.
