The observed differences in calculations of free surface energy components by vO G and O W methods should be recognised as small in the light of accuracy and precision of measurements of the contact angle values.
Cross-sectional studies have provided mixed results, however, for energy density and weight, possibly because of differences in calculations of the energy density variable or because of confounding of age and energy expenditure (Drewnowski et al, 2004; Cox & Mela, 2000; Kant & Graubard, 2005; Ledikwe et al, 2006a; Marti-Henneberg et al, 1999; Stookey, 2001).
Concerning the differences in calculations of MRSA outcomes, the findings of our review are in line with the assessment of other authors, that up to now no surveillance method allowing calculation of the rate of MRSA colonization and infection has been gained acceptance as a valid method for comparisons between institutions [ 7].
Finally, the methodological differences in calculation of probabilities for disease onset, progression and mortality, and assumptions made during the calculations, may mean that combining data from different studies may reduce the reliability of these inputs.
Though most of Britain remained Christian, isolation from Rome bred a number of distinct practices Celtic Christianity —including emphasis on monasteries instead of bishoprics, differences in calculation of the date of Easter, and a modified clerical tonsure.
The values of fold change cannot be directly compared between microarray and qRT-PCR assays due to differences in calculation methods (log2 for microarray and 2-ΔΔCt for qRT-PCR), yet comparisons could be made based on the general trend of increased or decreased levels (Figure 4).
As above, fold change values cannot be directly compared between microarray and qRT-PCR assays due to differences in calculation methods (log2 for microarray and 2-ΔΔCt for qRT-PCR), however comparisons could be made based on the general trend (Figure 7A).
When comparing the result of this study with other studies on the topic, differences in calculation methods have to be considered.
Despite the differences in calculation of both composite scores, they do correlate highly, indicating that they do represent similar constructs [ 58, 59].
Because of differences in organisational structures and differences in calculation methods between hospitals, it is necessary to make an assumption about the allocation of the costs of indirect staff members, such as the costs of administration and technical staff.
This variation due to differences in calculation methods, patient groups, but also in local organization and facilities (staff allocation and remuneration, equipment costs, nonclinical support services and premises) [ 10] and (national) healthcare system.
