Those included ensuring that populations of districts were roughly equal and that "communities of interest," like blacks and Latinos, don't see their potential influence diluted.
We designed our QTL-mapping experiment following the guidelines described by Belknap [ 56] and Lynch and Walsh [ 33], with the additional priority of ensuring that populations with multiple parent ecotypes were included [ 57].
A greater understanding of these interactions is essential for making reliable and accurate predictions of species' current and future ranges and for ensuring that populations are resilient in the face of continued climate change (Sgro et al. 2011).
One immediate solution, then, would be to appoint bureau directors for five-year terms, which would help ensure that population figures are based on scientific evidence and would help limit political influence from elected officials, their constituents and special-interest groups.
Because of the importance of preventing influenza and pneumococcal infections and associated complications, our findings should be placed in a benefit risk framework to ensure that population health benefits are maximized.
Investigators were asked to provide also information and clarifications about the design of their studies, and to ensure that population stratification and cryptic relatedness had been appropriately addressed and appropriate quality controls were available for the genotyping.
We run the model for 2000 years prior to harvest, to ensure that population abundance and evolving traits have reached a stochastic equilibrium.
This survey also oversampled young children, older adults, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans to ensure that population estimates for these groups would be statistically reliable.
One solution used by researchers to address this problem is to stratify the analysis of genomic data by ethnicity to ensure that population structure can be accounted for in any analysis [ 19].
Finding this balance requires continuous monitoring, careful choices given the realities of the country, and the use of research evidence to ensure that population health needs are addressed effectively and efficiently [ 9].
