However, the IRT approach is restricted to instruments with a clear gradient of the level of difficulty across the instruments' items.
Either restrict such instruments or find people who do understand them to do the job.
Gas hydrate formation in natural gas and NGL systems can block pipelines, equipment, and instruments, restricting or interrupting flow leading to safety hazards to production/transportation systems and to substantial economic risks.
Owing to its international design, this study was restricted to using instruments validated in many languages.
The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility to develop an algorithm which estimates the correlation between the EQ-5D and some outcome measures relevant for stroke and stroke registers, not restricted to validated instruments.
And they are doing this at the same time as the new law is restricting some of the financial instruments that banks use to raise capital, like trust-preferred securities, which are a hybrid of equity and debt.
A substantial heterogeneity caused by the measuring instrument was found, and the subgroup analysis was performed by restricting studies to a similar measuring instrument (PATHFAST, Mitsubishi Chemical Medience Corporation, Japan).
The lack of an appropriate retina-specific patient-reported outcome instrument restricts the understanding of the full impact of hereditary retinal diseases and other less common but potentially blinding acquired retinal diseases such as, vascular occlusions, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, central serous retinopathy and other vitreoretinopathies on quality of life.
This third party software was used to analyze flow cytometry standard (FCS) files from a variety of sources as it is not restricted to specific instrument manufacturer data files.
However, in SP surgery, instrument movements are further restricted, resulting in increased instrument collisions compared with standard multiport (MP) laparoscopy.
