That said, computational modelling is beginning to gain acceptance from the pharmaceutical industry and regulatory bodies as a potentially useful tool for improving the efficiency, accuracy, and confidence of pre-screening via rapid in silico testing of novel compounds, before more expensive wet-lab testing begins.
"But for that to occur we would have to achieve the outcome with efficiency and high confidence," he added.
The analysis of the relationship between allele amplification efficiency and the confidence level of genotyping (performed on variants classified as 'putative alleles') suggests that allelic dropout is a consequence of the low efficiency of certain alleles.
Amplification efficiencies and 95% confidence intervals for the 12 genes.
Estimated amplification efficiencies and 95% confidence intervals for the 17 genes comprising the GPS derived from a 15-point dilution series.
The Commonwealth Fund, comparing similar countries, puts the UK top for effectiveness, care and efficiency and for patient confidence, equity and safety; the UK is significantly less expensive than France, Germany and the US.
Among the qualities it evoked, she added, were "efficiency, dependability, confidence and leadership" -- all "emotional motivators" for buying a wireless service.
Some added the concepts of clinical reasoning, knowing how to act and react to situations and solving complex problems, efficiency, confidence and the ability to mobilize resources.
