Regarding item functioning across cultures, most VSP-A items appeared to function equivalently across France and Brazil.
Based on these specific analyses, mouse amniocytes and MEFs appear to function equivalently as feeders for mES cell culture.
Similarly, an additional HaloTag-modified assay to measure CREB binding was shown to function equivalently to the commonly utilized high-throughput promoter luciferase reporter assay.
For the two closely related pfkB-type proteins, FLN1 and FLN2, previous work using inducible RNAi in Arabidopsis implied that these two proteins function equivalently in causing chlorosis of emerging leaves [ 15].
While the present study is the first to demonstrate that body dissatisfaction measures do not function equivalently in pregnant populations, such findings are consistent with other research showing unanticipated differences in the way various populations respond to these measures.
None of the items had DIF which shows that the items function equivalently for patients independent of their gender, age, severity of diagnosis, number of consultations and survey year.
Table 1 defines the sequence length requirements under which, within a protein-coding sequence, pointers that flank a nonscrambled IES might function equivalently in intron splicing without disrupting frame.
The primate or rodent cathelicidin must function equivalently to the plethora of cathelicidins in the platypus or ruminants; analogously, the one or two CD163c-α molecules in non-artiodactyl eutherian mammals may fulfil a function like that of WC1, in regulating the γδ T cell response.
It was also equivalent between the general population and clinical samples, as well as between men with lower than desired and as much as desired sexual activity, as reflected in the good fit of an invariant between the groups general-specific model in which measurement parameters (thresholds, factor loadings and their associated standard errors) functioned equivalently in both groups.
