For supporting the decision process and for comparative purposes, this study assesses five alternative configurations for sludge treatment, namely: mesophilic and termophilic anaerobic digestion plus composting, incineration, gasification, and supercritical water oxidation (SCWO).
Moreover, this is the first comprehensive molecular study of a non-buthid scorpion, which could serve for comparative purposes when studying the details of the process by which buthid scorpions have been assembling their neurotoxic arsenal.
By another point of view it could also become useful for comparative purposes when studying other species belonging to the family of Vitaceae.
For comparative purposes, in our study each haplotype was denoted by the name of the most frequent haplotype for a given combination of non-synonymous SNPs.
It should be noted that primary transmissions of BSE to RIII mice were selected randomly for comparative purposes in this study.
LCLs from a subject with a wild-type ATM gene (IARC 1104) and a classical AT patient carrying truncating mutations on both alleles (IARC AT11 Q2002X; Q2714X) were used for comparative purposes in this study.
We first obtained OLS estimation for comparative purposes with previous studies.
Finally, the results suggest that biochemical data could be used as a potential marker for comparative purposes in future studies on the Human Microbiome Project.
However, for comparative purposes with published studies that use the term 'curcumin', and in the absence of analytical data determining the activity of various fractions of the curcuminoid constituents in the curcumin used in this study, the term curcumin was used to describe the commercially available formulation.
Because of limitations in our survey methods, we are unable to supply information on the total number of S. aureus isolates (or persons with S. aureus isolated) within the VA system nationwide, from which to determine prevalence estimates for comparative purposes to other studies (16, 17 ).
