Because of the inherent control of clinical, demographic, and viral factors in the single-source cohort, this point estimate represents an optimal assessment of the net host genetic contribution.
We chose Spike2 and the Power1401 plus because of its extensive scripting capabilities, ease of use, and inherent control of data acquisition (here, an analog-to-digital converter cycled through the incoming signals at 1 MHz), independent sequencer control, and straightforward manipulation of both parallel and serial ports (see http://www.ced.co.uk/pru.shtml for hardware specifications).
The study of drainage basin analysis has clearly established the inherent control of lithology and tectonics of an area in the development of fluvial landforms (Ritter, 1986; Pati et al. 2006, 2008).
The Candida albicans cell wall component β-glucan strongly trains monocytes, leading to an enhanced production of TNF-α and IL-6 upon nonspecific secondary stimulation with LPS or Pam3CSK4 (16); therefore, β-glucan preincubation of monocytes was used as an inherent control of effective training throughout this study (Fig. 1B).
Taken together, these results clearly demonstrate that diastereoselectivity is a result of inherent substrate control and not a consequence of the chiral catalyst employed, which governs enantioselectivity.
Specific benefits of SEM include the simultaneous analysis of multiple interrelated variables, consideration of measurement error, and inherent control for multiple comparisons.
In this respect, FAIR ASST is similar to asymmetric PASL techniques such as PICORE (proximal inversion of magnetization with a control for off-resonance effects) [ 13], in which only the inferiorly labeled blood is used for perfusion quantification; yet FAIR ASST retains the inherent control of magnetization transfer (MT) effects of symmetric FAIR methods.
They can be regarded as a special type of case control study in which each case serves as its own control providing inherent control of potential confounding by fixed individual characteristics, such as sex, race, diet and age.
Family-based association designs are popular, because they offer inherent control of population stratification based on age, sex, ethnicity, and environmental exposure.
However, Bayesian approaches to problem solving have recently gained in popularity due to their inherent control of complexity and the ease with which any prior knowledge about the system under study can be incorported (for an introduction to Bayesian modelling see [ 15]).
