How are we to tell, from what we can discern case by case, that this feature will function in the same way wherever else it appears?
"Sweetie," a gleefully perverse and oddly touching tale of a fat, unhinged loose cannon driving her marginally less crazy family round the bend, sent critics and festival moviegoers scurrying from theaters, squealing in disgust, delight and — in discerning cases — both.
The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of TSD in fish by taking the species where this type of sex determining mechanism has been claimed and applying a series of proposed criteria to discern true cases of TSD from cases of GSD+TE.
In particular, to discern true cases of TSD from GSD+TE [16].
For both ELISA and BSI, Galectin-7 was present in serum at the levels necessary to provide the sensitivity and selectivity to accurately discern between cases and controls.
To discern these cases, we collected four measures that are indicative of the alignment quality or that could otherwise predict an incorrect ConQuass score for a protein model (see Section 2.2.4).
One weakness of the Danish method is that causation cannot be discerned for cases without distinctive Salmonella subtypes; thus, the proportional attribution of such cases across animal reservoirs may not necessarily be accurate.
The first report, on the maspin gene on chromosome 18 (Ref. 38), again used heterozygous SNP alleles to determine chromosomal dosage; in this study, however, no clear distinction could be discerned between cases with trisomy 18 and unaffected healthy controls, even when using 'pure' fetal and maternal genetic material, such as fetal material obtained by amniocentesis.
Furthermore these repositories become the ideal place to test genetic associations that have been discerned in case control cohorts to determine the disease burden in an unselected population.
This view emphasizes the ways in which the line between imagination and belief may be difficult to discern in some cases.
