The samples that defined the standard curve were performed in triplicate.
Note that, no further permutations are needed at this stage, because we use, for the global test, the results on the p-values obtained from each permuted sample that define the permutation distributions of the first order tests [ 4].
Although, several studies have examined the epidemiology and the prognostic utility of ICU-BSI, a useful addition to this literature would be the assessment of concordance between the pathogens isolated from ICU-BSI and those isolated from clinical site sampling that define HCAI.
These methods are most aptly referred to as 'design-based' because, in contrast to their predecessors, the probes and the sampling schemes that define the newer methods are 'designed', that is, defined a priori, in such a manner that one need not take into consideration the size, shape, orientation, and distribution of the objects to be counted.
It uses a sort list of n-1 sampled keys that define the key range for each reduction.
Each sub element stores sample values that define beat markers, respectively.
This may typically occur if one combines information from multiple samples, which can, e.g. be related to further aspects of units that define the samples or groups to which the units belong or to different applications where the circumstances under which the units operate can vary.
For each individual, we chose reference samples that were defined by the highest Cadrenal/ Civc achieved from each adrenal.
In these experiments, we compared the intensity of western bands in native samples and samples that contained defined amounts of recombinant proteins (Additional file 1: Figure S3).
