Another complicating factor in comparing these results to the current study is the nature of sampling; whilst Oishi's group sampled coronary venous sinus blood (to detect cardiac generated ET-1), our study analysed arterial blood.
[5], [6], [7], [8], [9] In this work, we attempted a more thorough technical evaluation of ICWs using NIR fluorescence-based WBs as a reference standard, thus eliminating the signal detection methodology as a confounding factor in comparing the two techniques.
Thus QoL may be a major factor in comparing different surgical procedures [ 3].
Different comparing factors are expressed in "Comparing factors of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms".
Analysts at KBW predict Bank of America's earnings will increase 17.8percentt in 2018 once the tax cut is factored in, compared to an expected 13percentt earnings increase for banks overall.
This is a good predictor of cost and is also a factor to consider in comparing the impact of a hurricane traveling the same path in different years.
A complicating factor in comparing outcomes from different studies is the assessment method of mucositis.
As these influence the HCC indirectly, we assumed that similarity in sand content is the most crucial factor in comparing texture classes for the HCC prediction.
The discrepancy between clinical staging and pathologic staging is an important confounding factor in comparing results of radical cystectomy with results of bladder preservation.
A confounding factor in comparing mutational tolerance across different sets of residues is that sites with higher solvent accessibility are typically more tolerant of mutations (Bustamante et al., 2000; Ramsey et al., 2011).
