Adding data from a physical activity sensor (pedometer or actigraph) may provide improved discrimination across the indoor and outdoor environments.
First, not surprisingly, age and BMI alone are inadequate for discriminating GDM, suggesting that other clinical variables, such as the OGTT [ 4, 53], may provide better discrimination.
The finding that other metrics could also identify targets suggests that combining network metrics in some way may provide improved discrimination over the individual measures.
Thus, if the measured assay value is the xylose release, running the assay at either temperature provides the same sample ranking, and the lower temperature may provide better discrimination among samples.
Extrapulmonary sites of disease, particularly lymph nodes [ 9], may have an even higher maximum SUV, as was observed in Case 2. While quantitative assessment of SUV cannot distinguish active tuberculosis from malignancy [ 10], use of adjunctive tracers such as C-choline and F-fluorothymidine may provide improved discrimination.
We found that the measurement of levels of proteins involved in angiogenesis in the serum, plasma or urine may provide some discrimination as a pharmacodynamic marker to follow the combination therapy, but that the ex vivo measurement of TNF-alpha release following PHA stimulation of lymphocytes in whole blood samples may indicate activity of the combination and is worthy of further study.
Because spoligotyping does not possess the discriminatory power needed to generally replace IS 6110 RFLP (8), a combination of spoligotyping and newer variable number tandem repeats assays (9) may provide adequate discrimination for most purposes, with IS 6110 RFLP reserved for resolution of selected sets of clustered isolates.
These structural features are expected to have a relationship to properties arising from intermolecular interactions and may also function to provide discrimination among multiple structural classes.
As a further improvement, the level of taxonomic resolution for certain groups such as chironomids could be increased, because knowledge of the species composition may provide a better discrimination of intermediate degradation levels.
The read length in SLAF-seq ranges between 30 ~ 50 bp, which may provide efficient locus discrimination as compared to that in 2b-RAD (33 ~ 36 bp).
