Uncertainties in the calculations are taken care of by incorporating a safety factor.
In contrast, the US EPA/IRIS RfCs for sensory irritation ranged from 9.5 to 23 ppb or 32 to 70 ppb incorporating an uncertainty factor (UF) of 3 or 1, respectively.
The number of children classified as standard risk by the biology-based algorithms varied from 62.0% (algorithm 1 [simplest] - age and WBC) to 56.0% (algorithm 4 [most complex] – incorporating all factors of age, WBC, immunophenotype, cytogenetics and MRD) (Table 3).
Therefore in considering the overall cardiovascular risk factors, a risk score specific to this population whilst incorporating a wide range of factors, including those prior to dialysis (such as renal function at the start of dialysis and microalbuminuria), may aid the stratification of high risk patients [ 41, 42].
This method considers the structure and dynamics of an entire pathway by incorporating a number of important biological factors, including changes in gene expression, types of interactions and the positions of genes in a pathway.
Incorporating a broader range of factors could potentially enable us to reproduce features of the connectome that are not resolved by our model in its current form, such as modularity and hub features, which have been suggested to result from a combination of spatial and topological properties (Chen et al. 2013).
Proximity was not incorporated as a factor in the choice of routings because many of the harvests were relatively close to one another and because of professional judgment that differences of a few kilometers are not typically the basis for the choice of a processing facility.
To circumvent this problem, the standard QMOM was modified by incorporating an adjustable factor, which allows the moments of size distribution to be adjusted, in order to improve the accuracy or reduce CPU time.
The Spitz model, like the LLP risk model, expands this concept by incorporating a panel of epidemiological risk factors to more accurately predict an individual's absolute risk of developing lung cancer.
40, 44, 70 A similar approach is taken by the Framingham risk score for cardiovascular disease or Gail score for breast cancer risk, each incorporating a number of independent risk factors to derive a global risk score.
Combined, the results of Wiles and Alters ([2011]) and the qualitative data reported herein have measured and examined changes in students' evolution acceptance levels after an educational experience incorporating an inventory of factors identified as potentially influencing students' acceptance of evolution (Wiles and Alters [2011]).
