The key element in these changes was not money, but a series of exchange visits between the two communities that introduced Dubna's political leaders and medical professionals to more up-to-date methods and techniques.
A specific feature of the present essay, which may make this overview if not comprehensive at least of particular interest, is that the reader is guided through the various traditional and more up-to-date methods by the central thread of techniques developed to measure soil moisture interwoven with applications of modeling tools that exploit the observed datasets.
He and his colleague, Dr. Peter C. Gotzsche, decided to revisit the phenomenon, using more up-to-date research methods.
12 13 No study has repeated this analysis using more up-to-date typing methods, which is important for understanding of the epidemiology of TB and to shape the application of molecular typing to improve TB control.
Regional anesthesia applications gradually become more up-to-date and preferred methods.
For adulthood cancers, performance of period analysis has meanwhile undergone extensive empirical evaluation, which demonstrated that this method provides much more up-to-date estimates of long-term survival rates than the traditional methods of survival analysis indeed (Brenner and Hakulinen, 2002a, 2002b, 2002c; Brenner et al, 2002b).
We introduce and evaluate a novel method, denoted "boomerang method," for deriving more up-to-date estimates of long-term survival.
Period analysis provides more up-to-date estimates of cancer patient survival than traditional methods, but there is a trade-off between up-to-dateness and precision.
Period analysis is a method of obtaining more up-to-date estimates of survival, calculated using only survival experience in a recent time period (Brenner and Gefeller, 1996).
A new method of survival analysis, denoted period analysis, has recently been developed, which has been shown to provide more up-to-date estimates of long-term survival rates than traditional methods of survival analysis.
To derive more up-to-date survival estimates, we employed period analysis, a new method of survival analysis introduced by Brenner and Gefeller in 1996 [ 20].
