I don't know if it was a "reference," "confirmation" or "authorization" number.
With P. fastigiatum sequences as references the confirmation percentages were higher than with A. thaliana reference sets (49 60% vs. 21 46%).
Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) referenced Thomas' confirmation fight and wrangling over the unsuccessful 1987 confirmation of Judge Robert Bork, saying he won't consider a nominee in such a politically charged year.
Two hundred fifty-two isolates underwent reference laboratory confirmation of the centres' E-test results.
- Screen-related anxiety at different stages of the screening process was captured by eliciting self report data on the level of anxiety before the test result (screening, reference laboratory confirmation test, paternal antigen typing, laboratory monitoring) was known, and on the level of relief, reassurance and fright after hearing the test result.
Accuracy measures of the 3 tests were calculated for two different definitions of the 'gold standard' reference test: (1) microbiological confirmation (confirmed group) or (2) 'clinical diagnosis' (clinical gold standard including the probable and the confirmed group).
Sequences from Jaillon et al. [12] were made available at NCBI after we had started with our analyses and were used as confirmation references.
The isolate was referred to the Enteric Diseases Reference Unit for confirmation of identification, serotyping (Kauffman-White scheme), and antimicrobial drug susceptibility testing using the Etest (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Étoile, France) and agar dilution methods, according to criteria of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (Wayne, PA, USA) (www.clsi.org).org
Diagnostic laboratories refer all Salmonella isolates to the national reference laboratory for confirmation and characterization, and data on all first confirmations are entered into a national surveillance database (8 ).
Specimens reflected in the table are referred specimens or specimens collected by the national reference laboratory for confirmation of suspected cases during outbreak investigation or surveillance.
