Intra-array normalization was carried out using the "print-tip loess" method and inter-array normalization was done using the "quantiles of A test" for each array [ 79].
However, the influence of experimental factors, such as the sample preparation method and inter-laboratory variation, on the transcriptomic profile has not been evaluated.
However, a similar phenomenon may be observed in inter-method and inter-module relationships (see Figures 3 and 4).
The Pearson's correlations and standard deviations for intra-method and inter-method comparisons for the high intensity genes are shown in Table 2.
The Pearson's correlations and standard deviations for intra-method and inter-method comparisons for the all unselected genes are shown in Table 3.
Additional development work and inter-laboratory testing of the slag wool component will be necessary to improve the precision and accuracy of the method and reduce inter- and intra-laboratory variability from levels observed in the inter-laboratory evaluation.
The fiercest controversy is between the advocates of the "community method" and the "inter-governmentalists", with the former intent on building up pan-European governmental structures like the European Parliament and the commission, and the latter keener on fostering co-operation between national governments.
The serum creatinine concentration was measured using the kinetic Jaffe method, and the inter-assay coefficient of variation was less than 5%.
This pilot study demonstrated the feasibility of the direct observation method and perfect inter-observer concordance for monitoring the consumption of tobacco and number of passengers under 14 years of age (simple inter-observer agreement of 100% and κ coefficient=1.0).
This study presents a new method to measure ligament balancing in TKA and reports on the results of a try-out of this method and its inter-observer reliability.
The repeatability of the developed method (intra and inter-day precision),which was expressed as the % RSD, and the accuracy, which was expressed as the %Er, were determined by injecting three different standard solution sat each of the low, medium and high concentration levels on the same day for the intra-day study (n = 3) and the following two consecutive days for the inter-day studies (n = 9).
