This is the only occasion when we use the log-transform, in all other procedures we employ non-transformed normalized data.
The experience of the birds during our hand-rearing procedure we employed would have differed from that of the wild-caught birds in several respects including the amount of early human handling received but also the quantity and quality of social interaction with conspecifics.
Again, the fold-change correlations we observed were very similar irrespective of the normalization procedure we employed.
Please see Methods for details of the feature enumeration procedure we employed given two types of features.
Mindful of the cultural sensitivity of the procedure, we employed research assistants who were conversant with the local Luo dialect and cultural experience.
In this procedure, we employed the Akaike Information Criterion AICC) to validate the model order or the number of model parameters of the network [ 59].
We believe it is more likely that the relatively modest effects we observed result instead from the procedure we employed: Firstly, subjects in the present study were not asked to engage in any explicit emotional processing during fMRI scanning; second, affective reactions were provided upon seeing the videos for a second time, after fMRI scanning.
Considering the previously published results of the safety and effectiveness of TF and taking into account the concerns about subjecting study patients to unnecessary risks associated with a sham procedure, we employed a non-blinded study design for this post market, phase IV randomized trial.
To evaluate whether fundamental differences exist between osteoarthritic chondrocytes and cells currently used for the ACT procedure, we employed these quality management regimens and compared the expression of key factors for cartilage regeneration, including type I and II collagens, aggrecan, IL-1β and activin-like kinase (ALK -1.
In our data set, π SI seems to be somewhat smaller than π4, which may be due to the stringent data filtering procedure we employed (see Materials and Methods), or the higher GC content at 4-fold sites compared to intronic sites, which in turn is expected to result in an increased mutation rate in 4-fold sites (Singh et al., 2005; Keightley et al., 2009).
