We defined candidates for HCV treatment as those patients who either: (a) tested HCV antibody-positive; (b) tested positive for HCV-RNA; or (c) tested positive for HCV-RNA and met additional treatment criteria specified in the study protocol.
Lagrange multiplier method [26] can be utilized to define candidates for local optimality of the objective function in Equation 4. The Lagrangian function L P, λ, η, x ) for the problem Equation 4 with Lagrange multipliers λ, η, ≥ 0 and a slack variable x is: Here, the slack variable x ensures that, i ∈ V,.
More significantly, Republicans have largely failed to heed the lessons of 2012 by continuing to weigh in on two key issues that help to define candidates for minority voters: immigration reform and Obamacare.
For the replication stage in an independent cohort, methylation patterns of single genes were used to define candidates for a mass spectrometry-based fine-mapping.
This approach can readily be adapted to new results and extended to other cancers to define candidates for more aggressive treatments.
Gene expression profiles and pathway analysis can be used to define candidates for targeted proteomics [ 26] discovery and improve identification sensitivity of expressed proteins.
That might be tougher in a federal election in which she is being pushed to take positions on issues used to define candidates ideologically: for example, she said she opposed Mr. Obama's call to impose a surtax on income over a million dollars to extend the payroll tax holiday.
We could extract 159 , 59 and 36 empirically defined candidate genes for human, mouse and rat respectively.
Once quantitative trait loci (QTL) were defined, candidate genes coding for enzymes involved in the synthesis of polyphenolic compounds were identified using genome sequencing and confirmed by genetic mapping.
Imaging of the small bowel has changed in recent years, but the imaging goals are primarily to determine the extent of small bowel involvement, assess complications and define candidates for surgery.
This approach can be adapted to new results from ongoing trials and extended to many other cancers to explicitly define candidates for more aggressive treatments.
