The drill here is as in election years: canvass swing voters by phone or in person, constantly refine the database and hit targets set by headquarters.
Since its launch, more than 250,000 people have participated in refining the database, with tasks evolving from a simple exercise in pattern-choosing to more sophisticated work.
Absorption spectroscopy has been applied to low-pressure, self-deflagrating RDX flames in an attempt to refine the database for evaluation of detailed-chemistry combustion models.
To refine the database further to include the compounds that were likely to be soluble in an aqueous solution and enable eventual testing in solution based assays, we filtered the database for compounds with a log S value of greater than −4 by in-house software ZLogS, which resulted in a database of around 90,000 small-molecule compounds.
We are also grateful to the Obesity Leads and other informants, to Christine McGuire from the Department of Health, and to Gill Moffett and Suzanne Turnock at the Cross-Government Obesity Unit for guidance in refining the database in order to address issues most likely to be helpful to planners.
RS performed the manual curation of the clustered proteins and DT and MM refined the LAB-Secretome database.
It's a fantastic and innovative idea that makes great use of geo-location and crowd-sourcing to update and refine the collective database.
To examine the psychometric properties of the Hospital SOPS at multiple levels of analysis, it was necessary to refine the 2007 database data to keep only those hospitals and units that met certain criteria.
To refine the EST database, we compared EST sequences by BLASTN to a set of 454 pyrosequencing-generated contigs and Sanger BAC-end sequences derived both from the Pt genome, and to ESTs and genome reads from wheat.
JW, JM and JG conceived, designed and refined the data collection process and database structure.
