Besides the diversity of methods, other factors, such as patient sex, age and number of drugs used concurrently, appear to have influenced the estimates of IMU.
13, 29 In some studies, methods using correction factors, such as the rule of exponents method or fraction (unbound) corrected intercept method have been shown to predict better than allometry or at least decrease the risk of overprediction.
This method considers design factors, such as pavement structure, material properties, pavement performance, environmental impacts, and total costs over the life cycle.
This method reproduces reported factors, such as CCR1, CCBP2 and CD97, but also results in a list of promising proteins that likely affect the progression of the infection.
To choose an appropriate EDC method, context-specific factors such as infrastructure and the technical capacity of developers and fieldworkers need to be taken into account.
The presence of an animal matrix may affect the detection capability of a method through various factors, such as the addition of growth components, local pH change, degradation, and protein binding.
It has to be noted that this verification method fails for factors such as SRF and HNF1, which are broadly expressed despite their known tissue-specific activities, or for factors such as PTF1, which do not have enough support by EST data to assess their expression patterns.
Other methods, which examine factors such as rarity, number of threatened species1and surrogate measures (Reid 1998), do exist but have not been widely applied.
In principle, characterizing how performance of different methods depends on factors such as allele fraction is necessary for designing experiments.
As a potential biomarker, sRAGE may be influenced by detection methods and various factors such as gender, age, and ethnicity as well as diseases and medications.
