An apparently promising meta-analysis was heavily skewed away from recent innovations by the inclusion of early technology, failure to analyse by tumour size and location and the stipulation that success after a single procedure was the main endpoint[ 15 ].
The paper concludes that CFO is a novel and promising meta-heuristic that is competitive with if not superior to the PSO algorithm, and there is much room to further improve it.
In summary, HS is a promising meta-heuristic for processing these phase equilibrium data using the classical least square formulation and may offer a better performance than those obtained using current stochastic methods such as Genetic Algorithm or Particle Swarm Optimization.
Clinical Data Acquisition Standards Harmonisation (CDASH) is aimed at standardising the structure of a study's data and meta-data, promising to significantly expedite clinical studies as well as the exchange of data between sponsors and other participants in the process.
Although studies on QTL mapping are not explicit, the availability of numerous markers like SNPs and new techniques like "Meta QTLs" are promising for utilizing this information in marker-assisted selection.
Basically, Dean Pelton has a goatee and pops into the study group as the "meta voice" this week, promising no more paintball and spaceships; things will be different this year.
Preliminary findings from multiple pilot studies and meta-analyses are promising and suggest that USE can augment the anatomical detail provided by high-resolution US.
The Postdoc Network has, nevertheless, compiled a summary of lessons learned and promising practices derived from a meta-analysis of 12 surveys undertaken by different PDAs.
The results of this meta-analysis are promising because the outcomes consistently favor the use of steroids interventions.
Although the results of both studies, the meta-analysis and the review, are promising, these findings can not be generalized to higher age-groups.
This is a rapidly growing area and a recent meta-analysis of studies evaluating such approaches for depression shows promising results [ 10].
