To use the comparative CT method, we ascertained that the efficiencies of the target and endogenous control amplifications were approximately equal.
We have shown that this method ascertains approximately 90% of incident cancers.[13] Our end points were first primary incident cancers, defined according to the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Result (SEER) criteria, with minor modifications for malignancies of the head and neck, esophagus, pancreas, and prostate, as described previously.[14] [18] Skin cancer was restricted to melanoma only.
Using this method, investigators have ascertained that the age of the sediments in Mammoth Cave is more than 2,000,000 years.
The main purpose of this method is to ascertain that all the students have become familiar with shadowing practice at relatively slow speed, and then to gradually adjust them to the moderate and then faster speed on a weekly basis, with the aim to be at a native-like speed at the end of the study period.
In addition, the laboratory performed internal quality control measures when introducing the enzymatic method, in order to ascertain that results were comparable.
In particular, a robust normalization method is critical to ascertain that arrays from two experiments are comparable with minimum noise prior downstream analysis.
Cells below the subepidermal layer could also be observed, ascertaining that this method is sufficient to obtain enough depth of focus to analyze the entire subepidermal layer in situ.
The MSEC correction method ascertained high fidelity of the data analyzed [39], especially for the activity in the frontal regions that is typically distorted or underestimated in traditional eye correction procedures.
GSEA is a computational method that ascertains whether a given gene set (in our case derived from the different normal and malignant tissues) is significantly enriched in a list of genes ranked by their correlation with a phenotype of interest (herein the various genetic subtypes of childhood leukemia).
However, we ascertain that 1D methods should be used with caution for the water-cooling FW design.
