Quality indices using simple criteria are given for ages and magnitudes as a first pass assessment of data reliability (Crosweller et al. 2012).
This produced a sub-set of 3,594 references for first pass assessment.
With a low cost, high speed, and strong predictive value, this technology fulfills the requirement for first pass assessment of chemical hazard, and furthermore, it offers insight into germline disruption as a mechanism of reproductive toxicity.
Not all assumptions and data inputs, however, could be tested in the sensitivity analysis, as some remain difficult to quantify owing to lack of knowledge in the research area or the added complexity for modelling, going beyond the scope of this first pass assessment.
This decision-support tool may expand the capacity of public health practitioners to conduct first-pass assessments of policy options for physical activity promotion in underserved communities.
Here, a new stochastic first-pass assessment technique was evaluated against an existing GIS-based model and an existing 1D hydrodynamic model, using three DEMs with different spatial resolution.
By performing this first-pass assessment, we are able to control false positives for any given outcome by considering significant only those haplotype associations whose global test is also significant.
On a first-pass assessment, it should seem obvious that any attempt to repress normal and healthy sexual feelings (or attractions to someone of a different perceived "caste")—pharmacologically or otherwise should be regarded as seriously misguided.
In the near-term, options likely to provide a first-pass assessment of risks seem likely to be based on MCDA approaches, which could be facilitated by Bayesian network models.
At this time, subjects also underwent repeat first pass radionuclide assessment of biventricular ejection fractions and arterial and mixed venous blood gas analysis.
Computational approaches should prove especially valuable for achieving high throughput screening, both from the perspective of predicted environmental fate and also for possible biological characteristics of products as a complete first pass in silico assessment.
