Mainly applied to a bioprocess improvement/optimization and that mainly used for operation definition and to design the production unit, we expect these definitions/recommendations would improve the quality of data produced in this field and lead to more standardized procedures.
Compared to Alabama, North Carolina had harsher penalties for nondisclosure, stricter and more standardized procedures for counseling, and providers expressed greater support for HIV criminalization.
Here we show that estimates of sleep duration are significantly influenced by the laboratory conditions under which data are collected and that, when analyses are limited to data collected under more standardized procedures, traditional functional explanations for interspecific variation in sleep durations are no longer supported.
The necessity for applying more standardized procedures which integrate community and ecosystem changes over multiple taxonomic groups and guilds has been proposed for assessment of freshwater ecosystem functioning (Geist 2011) as well as for aquatic restoration (Pander and Geist 2013), but may also be useful for any other ecosystem type.
To come to more standardized procedures for method evaluation, the European Commission has issued a decision on method validation, 2002/657/EC [ 54], which describes how analytical methods should be validated according to common procedures and performance criteria.
Reviewing these results in the context of other published data also shows, however, that considerable variation exists across studies in certain measured parameters which may limit use of AGD measurements unless more standardized procedures can be developed.
The reported data are very encouraging, but multicentre studies including larger cohorts of patients, longer observation periods, more detailed molecular characterization of CTCs and more standardized procedures are still needed in order to estimate the clinical utility of CTCs as an independent biomarker.
Developing more standardized monitoring procedures, tools, and reporting expectations would make the monitoring process less duplicative and more efficient, and it would increase the likelihood that monitoring results would be used to improve ECD.
Those differences might be explained by the more standardized imaging procedures in our patient population as well as by the much more specific patient population.
The beginning of the follow-up period showed an increasing trend in both countries, but the numbers seemed to stabilize around 1989, perhaps due to more standardized diagnostic procedures and reporting practices.
Within the new process, the new visually linked work units created more repetitive, standardized procedures.
