Under the prevalent test conditions sediment acts as a sink enhancing most strongly the release of elements from the material.
This wasn't outlier behavior, being especially prevalent among test subjects with lesser or no literacy.
Our microarrays have shown the unique advantages in aspects of parallelism, cost, signal stability and usability, overcoming most limitations of the current prevalent ELISA test format.
Data from the different European MYSTIC Program units (1997 2000) showed that the most prevalent isolates tested overall were methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA; in accordance with study design methicillin-resistant S. aureus was not tested), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.
21 Although formal evidence is scarce, these phenomena are also suspected to be prevalent among test accuracy studies.
None of the prevalent pairs tested were significant in the linear regressions, suggesting the absence of effect modification on OOPE by one disease on another, at least in the common combinations.
