Recruitment of 200 patients undergoing palliative care will enable differences between this population and the curatively treated group that form the basis of the survey to be identified.
It is also noteworthy that the present study may not have been sufficiently powered to enable differences between gut hormone responses to the high- and low-bioaccessibility test meals to be demonstrated.
Nuclear (Fn) and cytoplasmic (Fc) fluorescence was determined subsequent to the subtraction of autofluorescence (also quantified), and used to derive the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio (Fn/c), a parameter that enables differences in expression levels between individual transfected cells to be standardized.
The Typical bridge section enables the differences between the idealised bridge and a more realistic deck geometry to be explored.
This enabled the differences between the Cy5 fluorescence of control and S-nitrosated samples to be compared, whereas the pooled standard allowed for robust statistical analysis across gels.
In addition to individual genes, including those with established functional annotation in cartilage, the approach enables expression differences between gene ontology categories to be compared.
To enable visual differences between the 11 expression trends, the clusters were amalgamated into five major trends: group 1, up during progression; group 2, down during progression; group 3, peak in the RAD stage; group 4, constant during progression; and group 5, valley in RAD stage.
Cox's proportional hazards model is analogous to a multiple regression model and enables the difference between survival times of particular groups of patients to be tested while allowing for other factors.
Results enabled to outline differences between semiarid and moist catchments, the latter drawn from other studies.
This design does not by definition allow for causational conclusions over time to be drawn, but it enables identification of differences between groups and hence cost pattern exploration [26].
