US signs of microcrystalline arthritis (MSU and/or CPP) were present in 65/88 patients with crystals detected in the joint aspirations (sensitivity of 74 %), and only in 3/21 patients with no crystals identified (specificity of 82 %).
We identified specificity of MMC in inducing small to large deletions, but did not find a statistically significant increase in single nucleotide changes and insertions (Table 2, Table 3, and Figure 2).
As reported by Chang and Kareiva (1999), in one of the first publication on insect control, Wardle and Buckle (1923) identify specificity as one of the four keys to effective control.
ROC curves were obtained and the following parameters were calculated to measure the effectiveness of prediction: AUC, sensitivity (proportion of responders which are correctly identified), specificity (proportion of non-responders which are correctly identified), NPV and PPV.
Sensitivity was calculated as the proportion of high-risk periods correctly identified; specificity was the proportion of low-risk periods correctly identified (21 ).
One approach to accomplishing this objective is to expand profiling for autoantibody expression with the goal of identifying specificities that signal a high risk of future disease [ 4].
Observer programmes on fishing vessels allowed us to identify the specificity of the interaction between common dolphins and fishing gear, and provided low estimates of annual bycaught animals (around 550 animals year−1).
NRPSpredictor2 was used to identify binding specificity of the A domains in the NRPS modules [ 53].
However, such matches have a high false positive rate and cannot identify tissue specificity of regulation.
