The validation experiments were carried out theoretically by comparing the thermal maps with those obtained using standard finite-elements programs and yielding temperature accuracy below 1%.
The community map layer merges the personal topic maps with those of other community members by displaying bubble charts based on their features and relations.
A comparison of the fine scale maps with those from two widely available coarse-resolution products finds that the latter fail to detect approximately 90% of the burned area.
We compared the CoVs derived from this map with those derived from 1000 randomly rewired multilevel maps (see "Randomly rewired map" in the Additional file 1 section).
Since FWE-correction methods can be unduly conservative in neuroimaging, we compared FWE-adjusted maps with those obtained using false-discovery rate (FDR) correction [Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995].
Comparisons of anchor markers of the Prunus reference map with those of 13 maps constructed with other Prunus populations showed that the genomes of seven Prunus diploid species are essentially collinear [ 9].
For comparison of the S. dulcamara genetic map with those of other Solanaceae as produced by Wu and Tanksley [ 32], all markers were mapped to the tomato Kazusa F2-2000 linkage map.
For example, comparisons of the anchor marker positions on the Prunus reference map with those on 13 other maps showed that the genomes of the diploid Prunus species are essentially collinear [ 3].
Comparing these maps with those between carnivores, we found that no association was common to species in Laurasiatheria if we excluded the putative ancestral syntenic associations for eutherian mammals.
We were careful, by comparison of the final maps with those obtained without use of these restraints, to show that their use did not lead to major changes in the model.
