A small-scale quality assessment was performed for all the libraries prior to commencement of large-scale sequencing (Table 1).
The primary titer of the cDNA library was 1 × 106 cfu/mL with more than 90% recombinant clones revealed by X-Gal/IPTG screening and a small-scale quality assessment was performed prior to commencement of large-scale sequencing [ 13].
This is a small concern when the instrument is used for large-scale performance monitoring, but may be a weakness if it is to be included in small-scale quality improvement documentation.
Small-scale quality improvement projects remain a dominant approach, but need to be conducted and reported better, and appropriate caution exercised in treating the data from such projects as equivalent to research-standard evidence.
This is the paradox of Wolf and perhaps a reason for his relative neglect: that he combines small scale with qualities of size both literal and figurative.
The art of Thomas Hirschhorn, possibly the most important artist to come out of the country in the last two decades, contradicts the old Swiss stereotype – small scale but high quality – with massive installations made of cardboard, duct tape, plastic sheets and other cheap materials.
Despite numerous small scale studies, high quality scientific evidence for the efficacy of spa therapy for knee osteoarthritis is lacking.
