The origins of the F.B.I.'s computer problem go back in part to the long history of paper records at the bureau, and its reliance on secure computer systems of its own creation instead of the standardized systems that make the Internet so easy to search, say former Justice Department officials and others familiar with the technology.
The 4-Bit watch uses a simply displayed binary notation to indicate the hour markers, instead of the standardized Roman or Arabic symbols that most watches use.
The HbA1c reductions in the low-RBF and high-RBF groups were approximately the same as those obtained when multiple regression analysis was conducted with the current HbA1c as the dependent variable instead of the standardized HbA1c.
Since GEE function in PASW 18 does not provide standardized output for coefficients, we approached this issue in the following way: RNFLT, BPF and visual cortex NAA were transformed to standardized z-values and each GEE was performed again with these z-values instead of the original values (standardized Beta, see Table 2).
Moreover, data are pre-processed and normalized following a specific protocol from a particular laboratory, instead of having standardized pre-processing and normalization workflows (Woodall and Goldberg 2008 ).
Using biomarker concentrations not standardized for sampling conditions instead of concentrations standardized for sampling conditions did not markedly change associations between birth weight and, variously, 2,4-DCP, 2,5-DCP, BP3, or BPA.
While our findings are encouraging, the dataset presently studied has limitations, such as a limited sample size and outcome classifications that were retrospectively extracted from clinical archives instead of prospectively collected standardized neurodevelopmental tests.
Instead, age was the driver of transportation choice, that is, young people were more likely to use transit and nonmotorized travel modes instead of the automobile: birth year (standardized coefficient = 0.55) > household size (0.37).
Instead of standardizing to a comparison method, the primary objective of the IFCC committee was to develop a true reference method for HbA1c.
To ensure that these correlations are independent of phylogeny (see material and methods), we have calculated them using the standardized contrast values instead of current values [55].
Why shouldn't the federal government stick to its mandate to fund poor schools and to defend the civil rights of students, instead of trying to standardize curriculum, instruction, and testing?
