However, since this comparison represented a first validation phase aimed mainly at demonstrating the inherent ability of BNGA, while rigorously adopting the methodology provided by the CEC'05 benchmark, the following procedure remains limited to ten-dimensional experiments ((n=10)).
Based on the understanding and the methodology provided by this study, the role of this and of other important traits of the biofilm lifestyle of P. aeruginosa in the observed events of planktonic biofilm formation and starvation-induced dispersal can be readily addressed in future studies, e.g. by mutational analysis.
The age and sex independent BMI z-scores were calculated using the methodology provided by the CDC (2011).
The authors acknowledge the insights on methodology provided by Wu Xun, as well as the detailed and helpful comments from Chee Heng Leng on an earlier version of this draft.
A more detailed (case study based) comparative analysis of selected U.S. and European simulation tools and methodologies is provided by the authors in separate papers [27, 28].
The validity of the calculation methodology is provided by investigating different diffusion directions of the FCC structure (〈1 0 0〉, 〈1 1 0〉 and 〈1 1 1〉) and mesh settings.
A suitable methodology is provided by integral equation theories, in particular the "embedded cluster reference interaction site model" (EC-RISM) [2,3] that combines statistical-mechanical 3D RISM integral equation theory and quantum-chemical calculations self-consistently.
The synthetic sequences are subjectively evaluated using the DSCQS methodology [23], provided by the International Telecommunication Union through the recommendation ITU-R BT.500-11, for a subjective assessment of the quality of videos.
In addition, this antigen can be massively produced and easily purified by standard methodologies, providing the possibility of large scale supply sufficient for large epidemiological studies.
Obviously, gene expression values can be obtained by other methodologies, providing the data compared are in the same scale (this is the objective of the normalization process).
