Gustáv Husák, who replaced him, began a programme of "normalisation" in which all dissent was purged from Czechoslovakian life.
The procedures for item recoding, summing the responses for each of the variables that make up the scale, transforming the scales into scores ranging from 0 to 100, and standardisation and normalisation, in which average values vary around value 50 with a dispersion factor of 10, followed the recommendations of the SF-36 developers for calculating the domains [ 17].
The following extract illustrates the concept of "normalisation bias" in which people extrapolate from the current experiences (H1N1) to define what a future pandemic would look like and therefore underestimate their future risk which makes them less respective to current health risk messages [ 6]. "I thought it was scaremongering, personally.
Then again, I readily concede that such images can be said to form part of the everyday normalisation of the way in which women are demeaned as sex objects.
It describes a culture in which the normalisation of rape and sexual assault are so great that often victims are blamed, either implicitly or explicitly, when these crimes are committed against them.
Data mining was conducted with GeneSpring v4.2 (Silicon Genetics), in which 3 normalisation steps were performed: per spot, intensity-dependent, and per chip (slide).
These variations are most likely due to a difference in normalisation which was performed here to RNA input, but previously to B2M.
After normalisation, the data set was fitted to the linear model in which the subtype is a covariate.
In 2010, Shibuya et al reported on 156 patients with stage I IV CRC, in which miRNA-21 was analysed by qPCR using RNU6B for normalisation.
Lumi (Du, 2008), also used in HumMethQCReport (Mancuso et al, 2011), offers an alternative to quantile normalisation through a robust spline normalisation, which is designed to normalise variance-stabilised data by combining features of both quantile and LOESS normalisation (Du, 2008).
Last year, the secretary of state Jeremy Hunt spoke of his concerns about what he called the "normalisation of cruelty", the implication being that the NHS had slowly become an organisation in which the appalling treatment of patients was commonplace.
