To assure standardization of the rating, raters followed a detailed rating-protocol.
Following a direct external standardization of the crude prevalence, the differences between our cases and controls increased, especially for women where the age difference between cases and controls was greater (Table 3).
Findings also indicate that an approach that adjusts loss estimates of organic carbon and nitrogen by using wet-sieved subsamples for analysis followed by standardization against total bulk sediment loss accounts for introduced errors from both sub-sampling efficiency and disturbance.
Further blood handling followed strict standardization.
Specific density was calculated by subtracting background density on the membrane from total density measured over the protein band, followed by standardization to β-tubulin references using the software of Image J (Image J, MD, USA).
*Adjusted prevalence ratios estimated using multivariable logistic regression followed by marginal standardization.
Na2S stock solutions were prepared by dissolving rinsed Na2S·9H2O crystals in deoxygenated water, followed by iodimetric standardization.
The crude, age-/site-/sex-adjusted, and fully adjusted prevalence of normal, IFG, and diabetes within each race/ethnicity and for each sex was estimated using multinomial logistic regression models, followed by regression standardization (18).
The sLORETA method finds a particular solution to the non-unique EEG inverse problem by assuming similar activation of neighbouring neuronal sources, followed by an appropriate standardization of the current density, producing images of electric neuronal activity (Pascual-Marqui, 2002).
In this method, first initial analysis requires identification of signature peptides for targeted proteins followed by an internal standardization performed by spiking stable isotope-labelled peptides into the samples in defined amount before analysis.
