The Study Guide compares well with the courses in terms of content, but differs in design and delivery, and moreover lacks interaction among teachers and students.
4 5 Our study differs in design and in the number of included patients from a previous meta-analysis of three randomised controlled trials comparing biodegradable devices with sirolimus-ES, which found a reduction of stent thrombosis associated with biodegradable stents.
Our study compares the results of 2 brands of titanium implants that differ in design and weight to assess potential benefit of one over the other.
Several temporal reasoning systems, differing in design issues related to ontology of time, underlying temporal logic, temporal constraints used and algorithms employed, have been developed.
Dietary studies differ in design and quality making it difficult to compare results.
If democratization in science makes a difference, we would expect to see activist-initiated studies that differ in design from the typical investigator-initiated studies funded by the National Cancer Institute, Department of Defense, and major foundations.
Nor is there any clear way of assessing the relative merits of various products being sold to the public, which differ in design and materials used.
Definitive conclusions based on these results are difficult because studies differed in design, clinical phenotype assessed (severe or uncomplicated malaria), or methods to identify G6PD deficiency.
To date, a relatively few studies, differing in design, measurement, and statistical analyses, have examined longitudinal associations between physical and cognitive functioning.
In this paper we suggest how several competing signal smoothers, differing in design parameters, or even in design principles, can be combined together to yield a better and more reliable smoothing algorithm.
