Alan Culpepper, who won the Olympic men's marathon trial, said that eliminating records might encourage cheating to set new standards.
To avoid duplicates we eliminated records with ΔT ≤ 1 °C differences in reported MP values, which were considered as full duplicates.
The criteria were developed by having three observers, blind to genotype, determine whether a record of background-subtracted bioluminescence had sufficiently convincing rhythmicity for inclusion, and then determining the values that eliminated records that were consistently scored as "not rhythmic" and which eliminated those records lacking tissue.
This number of records was reduced to 7,900 by eliminating records that were duplicated in searching or, for example, those that were not written in English.
We eliminated records coming from the same IP address but it may be possible that the same person replied more than once to the survey.
A total of 1232 questionnaires were completed, 1160 of which remained in the data set after applying some filtering rules in order to eliminate records of uncertain origin.
Considering that the procedure to eliminate duplicated records eliminated also molecules having ΔT ≤ 1 °C measured in different experiments, we corrected the observed distribution of values for ΔT = 0 and 1 by using the same number of counts as observed for ΔT = [2, 3] °C interval.
After generating k-anonymous blocks and corresponding RVs, we need to decide candidate blocks to eliminate record pairs that are expected to be non-matches.
The VA's system eliminates paper records and practically all medication errors.
The first step, the "MeSH Filter" eliminates MeSH records that do not have an associated chemical structure.
The third subsystem compares the results of the analysis of the devices and eliminates duplicate records in a time range, and the last subsystem gives the results of an O/D matrix from a specific date and time; this is from the web service platform.
