This manuscript shows how the use of a systematic, standardised 3-step approach can assist the efficient writing of a complete adaptive protocol.
As a final step, we standardised the distance variable to 10m steps so that each flight/altitude combination had approximately 450 readings for each apparent resistivity variable.
LAN developed and standardised the maximal step-up test, designed the study, participated in the acquisition of data, statistical analysis and interpretation of data, drafted and revised the manuscript.
While the BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting And Data System) lexicon is a major step toward standardised and structured reporting, it does not provide a clinical decision rule with which to guide diagnostic decisions.
Although the introduction of systematic approaches to delivery of mental health care such as stepped care and standardised assessment instruments might be expected to reduce variation, evidence suggests that standardised instruments are not yet a key basis for decisions about antidepressant prescribing, and largely seen as secondary to the potential idiosyncrasies of 'clinical judgment' [ 10].
Doctors see standardised treatment as a first step towards managed care and, therefore, as a threat to their incomes.
Standardisation – we dissected every step of our business and standardised it.
The data manipulation was standardised at this point, and the following steps performed to assimilate the data.
Standardised reaction conditions are achieved by performing an initial optimisation step for each primer set, in which the optimal concentration of locus-specific primer for the amplification of the target sequence is determined.
These steps were repeated until all of the correlation coefficients and standardised regression coefficients in the model exceeded 0.1.
