Bertha Lewis, Acorn's executive director, said that the group was trying to independently count as many votes as possible to ensure against fraud.
These are companies that generously offer to independently count the number of times the publishers serve the advertisers' ads – all the advertiser needs to do is tell the publisher to put the ad-counters' "beacons" on their pages.
A panel of three judges listened to each segment and independently counted every breath and voice break (when someone starts to say a word but doesn't quite get it out right away).
The number of occurrences of each of the 185 hexamers was independently counted within a given sequence using a sliding window approach, and the counts for each word were summed to obtain the total number of −10 σ70 sites.
Both raters independently counted significantly more signal voids in brains from cholesterol-fed animals than control animals (data not shown).
Two investigators independently counted the stroke number for each propulsion trial, and video footages were reexamined when there was a discrepancy between the two investigators.
For every candidate mirtron, we independently counted the number of reads pooled from both samples mapping in the correct orientation to the 3′ or 5′ splice sites, with a three-nucleotide buffer in both directions.
Both before and also after bleach sedimentation, there was minimal variance in the counts of acid-fast bacilli from triplicate independently counted slides from each specimen, demonstrating that the phenomenon of regression to the mean could not explain the association that we observed between the effect of bleach-sedimentation and the concentration of acid-fast bacilli.
For the latter purpose, two thick blood smear slides (using 6 μl of blood) per patient were prepared, stained with Giemsa, and examined by two certified malaria microscopists who independently counted the number of asexual Plasmodium parasite stages per up to 500 white blood cells counts, depending on the level of parasitaemia [ 42].
We determined the presence or absence of α-synuclein in the cells of the spinous cell layer (SCL) of the epidermis, the PSU, and the EG. Both a dermatopathologist and a neuropathologist independently counted IHC α-synuclein positive cells blinded to the clinical group.
