The spatiotemporal complexity of face processing poses methodological difficulties in obtaining rich descriptions of how, and what point in time, different regions represent facial information.
A comparison of data processing, however, identified methodological differences between the centres concerning the framing of PET data, data reconstruction, tumour delineation and ROI definition to evaluate tracer kinetics in the tumour.
Design management dealt with two main issues: how to develop corporate systems of planning aims how to solve problems of methodological information processing Instruments and checklists were developed to structure the processes and decisions of companies for successful corporate development.
Three proficiency levels could be determined: (A) 'the ability to comprehend research-methodological terms and concepts', (B) 'the ability to analyze research-methodological situations by processing several content-related elements', and (C) 'the ability to apply research-methodological concepts and procedures' (cf. Fig. 3).
Implications of this theoretical approach for substantive empirical research (e.g., modes of processing) are discussed and directions for methodological design (e.g., computer simulation) are proposed.
We have given numerous applications of this methodological approach in image processing essentially dedicated to medical imaging and surgical robotics.
For further methodological details regarding tissue processing and imaging, we refer the reader to our prior report.
Instead, the discrepancy may be attributed to the analysis of different patient populations, to differences in sample size or to methodological differences in sample processing.
KH is the trial statistician, contributed to the drafting of the study design; supervisor of the methodological and statistical data processing.
A source of variability in results not only comes from methodological variations in tissue processing (time to fixation, duration of fixation, denaturation, heating, antigen retrieval, the staining procedure) and grading scores but also from the antibody used.
