The assignment of the signals in the AE spectra of a measured sample facilitated the identification of slider resonances and other excitations in the head disk interface.
In addition, the simultaneous isolation of DNA, RNA and proteins from a single sample facilitates the meaningful interpretation and correlation of genome, transcriptome and proteome data, while reducing time, cost and sampling error [ 3- 5].
The new qPCR methods provide sensitive and specific tool for monitoring HHV-6A/B DNA load in clinical samples, facilitating the study of these viruses in human diseases.
Consequently, it may be used for the simultaneous analysis of multiple samples, facilitating the direct comparison of bacterial communities from numerous sources and the effects of interventions in longitudinal studies.
It is possible to freeze the blood samples facilitating the integration of such measurement in clinical routine work and the standardisation of the real-time PCR method is easier than a standardisation of the complex four-colour flow cytometry analysis.
The implementation in our hospital of continuous control of pathogens of significance, among which nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli are included, allowed us not only to detect the outbreak promptly but also to study environmental samples, facilitating the identification and elimination of the reservoir.
Due to the large number of potential variable combinations, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampler is used that relies on a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to analyse the model space, the manner of model choice is a birth-death-sampler.12 Using a MCMC sampler facilitates the inclusion of many potential influences only at the expense of computation time.
Additionally, population-based sampling facilitates the recruitment of people from varied socioeconomic backgrounds, representing an advance over clinical studies which commonly comprise patients from a limited catchment area.
However, while pooled samples facilitate the robust analysis of diverse chemical analytes, only population means (μ case and μ control ) are available following such analysis [ 25- 28].
As a rule of thumb, thousands of samples facilitate the inferences made regarding a handful of variables in general-purpose black-box models.
