EMS assisted with sample procurement and refined the method for histologic processing of biopsy samples.
Hagen had taken several company executives to the Riverside groves, where they sampled the fruits and refined their impressions, using the Mini-VAS.
The Johns Hopkins team plans on testing more patient samples and refining its techniques to produce a commercially viable genome-based blood test.
Yet, it often faces the challenge of accuracy if a sequential sampling strategy is used to insert samples sequentially and refine the models, especially under the constraint of computational resources.
All study materials (measures, training manual, intervention, method for data sharing) will be piloted on a sample of MSM and refined in response to their feedback, together with input from the Advisory Board and Steering Group.
Future studies should focus on increasing sample size and refining the intervention.
We developed a data extraction Microsoft® Office Excel sheet, pilot tested it with a random sample of ten studies, and refined it accordingly.
After having an adequate and comprehensive measure, we employed it in a large Brazilian non-representative sample, investigated its psychometric properties and refined the scale from a 39-item to a 25-item version.
The sample preparation workflow was adjusted and refined in the levels of deproteinization, incubation, and reconstitution; the general pipeline is illustrated in Figure 1.
A coding frame (available on request) was developed, based on a random selection of 24 comment pieces from each journal, and tested and refined on subsequent samples to achieve consistency.
