The occurrence pattern of multilevel disc height narrowing has previously been evaluated based on the classification of multilevel disc degeneration [ 24, 32], which contains contiguous and skipped patterns.
The immunoreactivity of the conjugation products was evaluated based on a previously published competition radioimmunoassay.
Tumour budding was evaluated based on the definition reported previously, and classified as high-grade budding and low-grade budding accordingly (Ueno et al, 2002).
The index of myogenic potential was evaluated, based on BrdU/eMyHC costaining, as previously described (Carlson & Conboy, 2007a; Carlson et al., 2008).
Five different static flip flop topologies have been evaluated based on an aging estimation method previously proposed for combinational circuits.
In the second phase, the trust value of each node is evaluated based on the set of observations obtained previously.
Astrocytosis was evaluated based on glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunostaining, as previously described [ 30, 31].
Detection of hScrib expression was evaluated based on the existence of basolateral membrane staining as described previously [ 28].
The sensitivity of the method was evaluated based on its ability to identify the top hits in the previously published Illig et al. genome-wide association study.
Renal function also was evaluated based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which was calculated using a previously reported formula (12).
