As a secondary analysis of a larger study, information about important risk factors usually assessed for EP cases was lacking, for example, previous EP (data collection concerned previous history of abortion), history of pelvic inflammatory disease, and history of infertility.
Other experimental design considerations for field studies examining intersex include data collection on life history (e.g. migratory patterns) and improved reference site characterization.
The service selection module collects runtime data, builds information models and selects appropriate cloud resources, as mentioned in Section 4. The data collection manager records history data about runtime status, such as the response time, the data transmission rate and the round trip time.
