The model was also used to simulate the full filtration characteristic of each sample, which agreed with the manufacturer's filtration ratings.
From the UDPS we obtained a total of 800,615 reads with a median of 20,949 (range 3,837 to 41,490) reads from each sample, which agreed well with the 25,000 reads per sample that we had aimed at.
Thus, the new scheme focuses more on the difficult samples, which agrees with the working principle behind boosting.
BPA was not detected in any of the bottled water samples, which agrees with the results from the recent survey on BPA in bottled water products (Cao and Corriveau 2008).
We list the corresponding fractal dimensions of the samples, which agree with the data in the literature, in Table 1.
On each triplicate the Mutation Call for each SM was compared between laboratories and the % concordance reported, where concordance is defined as the maximum of the percentage of samples which agree on Mutation call.
This indicates that most Eu ions are still trivalent in sample 1, which agrees with the XRD results.
Results revealed that nearly two third of study sample were female which agrees with other studies [ 6, 7].
Furthermore, the expression level of ECRG4 was significantly lower in colon cancer samples than in normal mucosa, which agrees with the recent result that ECRG4 expression is lower in esophageal cancer than in surrounding normal epithelium [ 19].
