That means I must plead guilty to what Goldacre calls "selective referencing".
Alas for Mr. Cohen and for all of us, in the service of his own fear he resorts to employing the time-honored strategies (smear and guilt-by-association) and tactics (a false appearance of reasonableness, assumption of unproven conclusions, selective reference to facts not in evidence) employed by the very demagogues and masters of hate whom he is presumably trying to combat.
The external validity of the articles were scored ranging from 1 (very strong external validity supported by a large study population, random sample, and explicit analysis of context and intervention factors for which generalization is possible) to 4 (weaker external validity based on weak or selective reference population, and weak intervention and context reference).
It has been additionally suggested that, within the memory pattern, time overestimation denoted by rightward shifts of the psychometric function, might depend on a selective reference memory breakdown following frontal lesions, whereas time underestimation and variability increase, that are mostly subsequent to medio-temporal lesions, might be interpreted as working memory deficits.
Comparison of APP selectivity of non-selective reference GSIs in cell-free compared with cellular (SNC) assay reveals a basal 15-22X right-ward shiforfor selectivity in the cellular assay compared with the cell-free assay with reference non-selective GSI's L-685,458 and LY411575.
The A3AR-selective reference agonist 2-Cl-IB-MECA yielded a robust, concentration dependent (5 nM–1 µM) recruitment of βarr2 (logEC50: −7.798 ± 0.076).
Among the 2,3-diarylquinolines, 2- 4- methylsulfonyl) phenyl)-3-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid (8) exhibited the highest potency and selectivity for COX-2- 4- methylsulfonyly (COX-2 IC50 = 0.07 μM; selectivity index = 687.1) that was more selective than the reference drug celecoxib (COX-2 IC50 = 0.06 μM; selectivity index = 405).
While answering questions, make selective & relevant reference & state the source from which you have gathered such information, e.g. from Annual Reports, company websites etc. Go to bed early the day (or the days) before the interview.
Full autoimmune screen was negative but urine protein selectivity, performed at the Supra-Regional Assay SeReferenceS) Protein Reference Unit, Sheffield, demonstrated selective proteinuria (selectivity index) of 0.2 (highly selective <0.16; selective <0.3; non-selective >0.3).
