The inclusion of all consecutively treated patients in an 8-month period ensured a representative cohort of patients for reporting of a potentially wide spectrum of selection criteria used or variable response to treatment.
These two examples indicated dependence of the pheromone spectrum on selection of ε and δ.
Therefore at no point in the spectrum of stabilizing selection strength is the fitness advantage of a dual ER+GR polymorphism very much greater than both ER and GR alleles alone (in most cases because the ER allele fitness effect dominates).
The QUADAS tool includes 14 questions about the spectrum of patients studied, selection criteria, test verification, test description, blinding, uninterpretable results, and study withdrawals [ 7].
The quality assessment items included in QUADAS are: spectrum composition, description of selection criteria and reference standard, disease progression bias, partial and differential verification, incorporation bias, description of index and reference test execution, test and reference standard review bias, clinical review bias, and description of uninterpretable test results.
Inclusion of a representative patient spectrum and explanation of selection criteria or withdrawals did not constitute a limitation of any study.
Since conjugative silver resistance plasmids also confer resistance to several antibiotics and are transferable to a wide spectrum of host bacteria, the selection of silver resistant bacteria may coincide with the selection of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Comparison results of TPL brightness, TPACS and emission spectrum of nanorods can guide selection of optimal contrast agent for selected imaging applications.
First round selection of mutation S522L with rifampicin increased the frequency and changed the spectrum of mutations identified after selection with rifabutin.
Chemical and biological properties of mutagenesis determines the frequencies at which different type of mutations occur, which, in turn, determines their rates of fixation by drift and affects the spectrum of mutations available for selection to operate on.
Less than half of studies included an appropriate spectrum of patients, and reported selection criteria.
