Secondary outcomes will be analysed using multilevel modelling (repeated measures nested within children nested within general dental practices) with an appropriate error structure (binomial for binary variables, normal for continuous variables).
Records can be fixed or variable length, and support a variety of standard (fixed record size, CSV, XML) and custom formats including nested child datasets.
Because the intervals in the node table are hierarchical, the edge table is used to link parent intervals to their nested child intervals.
This is necessary because there is no limit on the number of indirect processes that a task can run, and Unix/Posix systems do not provide a unified way to obtain all nested child processes.
By way of analogy, think of Russian nesting dolls: children were nested in families; each family had one breadwinner; that breadwinner worked for a single employer; those employers were firmly rooted in the United States; and, to top it all off, the vast majority of people living in the country were citizens.
Our next Ask an Expert features Danielle Galland, an interior designer who will answer readers' questions about two kinds of living transitions that many baby boomers face: the semi-empty nest, with children leaving for college but returning during breaks, and the empty nest geared toward retirement.

MPlus software was used to account for the nested structure of the data, wherein sessions (n = 364) are nested within children (n = 120) are nested within clinicians (n = 58) are nested within clinics (n = 6).
Paul Pearson, the museum's director of exhibitions, pointed out Big Bird's nest, where children can curl up and read.
