We did not attempt to obtain an overall quality assessment and instead we evaluated its different components, this approach makes a cross comparison between different analytical strategies difficult because, for example many of the criteria only apply to logistic regression analysis.
To make a cross-country comparison meaningful, we compute age-gender-standardized distributions of SAH. Figure 1 shows the standardized distribution of SAH across countries pooled for both observation periods.
To make a cross-specialty comparison of dosing variability, we chose only three major specialties: pediatrics, family medicine and otolaryngology.
Briefly, we first made a cross-sample comparison of glycan-related gene expression profiles using cDNA microarrays.
Here we made a cross-disease comparison of autoimmune (T1D, RA) and neurodegenerative diseases (Park, Alz) starting from the point of view of MS, as it presents both autoimmune and neurodegenerative facets [3].
The tool has not been applied for making a cross-cultural comparison before.
Making a cross-country comparison of neglect prevalence is difficult, because different cultures may have standard and definition of parental behaviors and practices [ 22], which may directly influence the type of child neglect prevalent in a particular society.
Due to the incomplete and unbalanced nature of PPI datasets used from different species, it is a challenging task to make a fair comparison of cross-species conservation.
However, quantitative studies of both microclimate in street canyons and IEQ in buildings are still highly insufficient in many aspects, which make cross comparison and influencing factors analysis currently impossible.
To make a comparison for the cross-talk differences between the two transcription factors IbNAC and IbWRKY in JA and SA signaling, we inferred from the publication and evidence by Li et al. (2004) that the inactivated WRKY70 upon JA signaling to the promoter region of JA- responsive gene was likely controlled by cytosolic NPR1protein.
To make a more complete cross-species comparison, we have also implemented a nonequilibrium version of the multiallele model (see Materials and Methods) in order to infer mutation rates in A. thaliana.
