An AUC close to 1 indicates an optimal method, whereas an AUC of 0.5 just random performance.
Andrews and colleagues [ 21] did not find a significant difference in the percentage of CD14+ PBMCs between SSc and healthy controls using a fluorescence microscopy method, whereas an increased population of CD14+ PBMCs in SSc patients were found by flow cytometry in our study.
PANI was coated on the bottom surface at the organic/aqueous interface by an interfacial polymerization method, whereas a porous patterned PS was fabricated on the top surface by the breath figure method.
Multiple 60-mer probes were designed to target longer transcripts (≥150 bps) using the best distribution method, whereas a single 60- or 40-mer probe was designed for shorter ones (40∼150 bps) using the best probe method.
Firstly, the 7-day fluid record is a prospective method, whereas a 24-h dietary recall is a retrospective method that depends on respondents' memory, recall, and conceptualization abilities.
In this study, we may have missed transient brain extracellular K+ elevations because of our hourly sampling method, whereas a rapid-sampling microdialysis technique may detect rapid changes in brain extracellular [K+] [ 4].
For the quantification we used the Hi3 method, whereas a universal response factor was calculated from BSA (the averaged intensity of the three most intense peptides) compared to the intensity of the peptides of interest as described by [ 38].
A problem-oriented (midpoint) approach CML 2 baseline 2000 (v2.05) was adopted as the 'default' LCIA method; whereas, a damage-oriented approach LCIA method Eco-Indicator 99 hierarchist version 2.08 defining imethod Eco-Indicatorthe endpoint level was applied to analyse the sensitivity of the LCA findings to the LCIA methodological choice.
Parameters that display normal distribution were evaluated with parametric methods, whereas variables without a normal distribution were assessed by non-parametric methods.
BfsEnumP1 and BfsEnumP2 take static assignment methods, whereas BfsEnumP3 takes a dynamic assignment method depending on the computational environment during execution.
