We may say something like, "Did you go to church on Sunday?" or "Did you see that Christian TV program last week?" If the person responds positively, the question "Do you have a Christian background?" will probe his background.
BBC reporters probing his background on Wednesday were unable to confirm personal details.
Investigators were probing the background of Artan, a Muslim who was a lawful permanent resident of the United States and a student at Ohio State.
A new approach combining a long pulse with the DEPTH sequence (Cory and Ritchey, Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1988) greatly improves the efficiency for suppressing probe background signals arising from spinning modules.
To give confidence to diagnostic calls, a statistical method of determining the presence of a given pathogen was developed, in which target e-probe signals (detection signal) are compared to signals generated by a decoy set of e-probes (background signal).
* UEFA chief Platini calls resignation another step backwards (Adds comment from former official whose allegations over World Cup bids were examined by investigator, FBI probe background).
In addition to lettuce probes, background and standard Affymetrix control probes [ 18] were included on the microarray.
Image analysis, quantification of raw gene expression values, mismatched probe background subtraction, and present/absent calls were performed using the Microarray Suite software (version 5.0; Affymetrix).
A single entry in the user-uploaded reference set can be 5×10 bps, meaning that most prokaryote genomes can serve as the working probe background in UPS 2.0.
Using the criteria that a probe is considered not to be expressed if no probes' background P value was less than 0.01, 13,060 out of 25,697 probes were kept for further differential gene expression analyses.
