The steps of this methodology are given as follows: Defining the attributes and evaluating alternatives for the problem.
It is important here to realize that some of the ingredients of the methodology were given as constraints defined by policy.
In a comparison with five other countries, the Commonwealth Fund ranked the United States first in providing the "right care" for a given condition as defined by standard clinical guidelines and gave it especially high marks for preventive care, like Pap smears and mammograms to detect early-stage cancers, and blood tests and cholesterol checks for hypertensive patients.
Number of "origin gene" pairs found in any given chromosome, as defined in the text.
A GO term was associated with a domain, if it was shared by all proteins containing the given domain, as defined in the Interpro database [ 45].
100 μg/kg of Leptin (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) was given intraperitoneally as defined previously [ 23] at the end of the mesenteric ischemia in groups III, V.
This is an undesirable property, especially if the parsimony criterion is defined by finding a phylogenetic tree inside the network that is most parsimonious for the given site, as defined in [ 8, 11- 13].
Gi = 0, 1, or 2 minor alleles for a given genotype as defined in Formula 2, ORj is estimated from Formula 2 and equals to exp (βcirc;); sign(ORj) is 1 if ORj > 1, and −1 otherwise.
To our knowledge, the presented method allows for the first time the exact decomposition of PPI networks into optimal-scoring subnetworks and suboptimal networks of a given dissimilarity as defined by the Hamming distance of the graphs' node-incidence vectors.
Consent is an agreement that can be communicated verbally, with clear questions like, "Is this OK?" or statements such as "I'm open to trying XYZ" (assuming, of course, that both of those parties have the legal capacity to give consent, as defined by the state they're in).
