Information on the screening pattern before 2009 was obtained from the Dutch national pathology database, assuming that the variation in screening activities in Europe will have a negligible influence on the effectiveness of the screening programme after 2009.
This is an example of a mispredicted overlap (NC_002947.PP_2780 and NC_002947.PP_2781) that could be corrected by just analyzing the BLAST results that we obtain automatically in this database, assuming that the orthologous gene has a correct prediction of the start site.
To capture family names, we also created a dictionary from the ChEBI ontology where we only took parent compounds that did not appear in the ChEBI three-star database, assuming that these terms have a high likelihood of being a family name.
The LCA data for transport are also from the Ecoinvent database, assuming that all the materials used in the system are transported for 100 km by a 40 t truck.
The self-controlled case series analysis will help to determine the extent of this, since it is a within patients comparison, which implicitly removes the effects of all characteristics that vary between patients, irrespective of whether or in how much detail they have been recorded on the database, assuming that they do not vary over time within the observation period [ 20, 21].
This is a within patients comparison, which implicitly removes the effects of all characteristics that vary between patients, irrespective of whether or in how much detail they have been recorded on the database, assuming that they do not vary over time within the observation period.
Using incidence and survival information from the Royal Marsden Hospital database, assuming that 50% of patients will develop stage IV disease 18 months (the median survival for those diagnosed with stage IV disease) before death, and assuming no changes in incidence of breast cancer, the prevalence of stage IV breast cancer was estimated at about 29 500 once steady state is reached.
Our database assumes that a document comes from one and only one source, so in these cases the documents were identified as being US documents, with the UK or Soviet exhibit numbers being recorded in the Notes field rather than the exhibit number field.
Most small molecule databases assume that users know the name or structure of the compound of interest.
Standard errors for MV fatality rates were also from the CDC WONDER online database and were estimated assuming that the death distribution follows a Poisson distribution (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1999b, 2014a).
We propose in this paper a much faster algorithm that runs in average-case O(N) time, assuming that the database structures follow some model of molecular physics.
