Furthermore, Elbaum et al. (2002) compare the performance of 5 prioritization techniques in terms of effectiveness, and show how the results of the comparison can be used to select a technique (regression testing) (Elbaum et al. 2004).
Finally, the results obtained for different sets of θ i values show that the selected power adjustment strategy, namely, GPA or SPA, along with the appropriate tuning of the θ i values enable to achieve the required MUE/FUE prioritization level in terms of throughput in an efficient manner.
This difference may indicate the prioritization of proteins in terms of cellular processes, where certain functional proteins such as DNA repair are only upregulated to high levels when needed.
This algorithm is integrated in the IT system, which includes administrative check-in of patients when they arrive at the OED, the recording of data from the medical records and the prioritization of each patient in terms of OE.
"It's amazing and it's completely backwards in terms of prioritization," said Dr. David Brown, an interventional cardiologist at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York.

"Obviously the DNC should have been at the top of the list in terms of prioritization.
In terms of prioritization, it was found that, out of this number, 320 substances showed evidence or potential evidence for ED effects, while in total, 109 substances were not retained in the priority list, either due to insufficient data on ED effects or insufficient scientific evidence.
Recently, Underwood et al. [27] argued that efficiency in prioritization would be better measured in terms of conservation returns on financial investment.
