Reagents for testing were standardized, produced, and distributed by CDC to participating laboratories.
The SF-12v2 consists of 12 items aggregated in two summary components: a Physical Component Summary (PCS) and a Mental Component Summary (MCS) which are standardized to produce a mean of 50 with a standard deviation of 10 (norm-based scoring) [ 47].
When an industry producing a standardized product loses its comparative advantage, far more than the passage of time is required to regain competitiveness.
Studies have yet to be conducted to find out whether standardized patients produce doctors with better clinical skills and bedside manners.
David A. Relman, a professor of medicine and of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University, says it also remains to be seen whether the transplantation can be standardized to produce reliable and reproducible results.
This is one of the first species identification tests to be internationally standardized to produce data for evidential proceedings and the first published validated test for rhinos, one of the flagship species groups of the illegal wildlife trade and for which forensic tools are urgently required.
To allow comparison between different studies and their outcomes, it is essential that animal models, fixation devices, surgical procedures and methods of taking measurements are well standardized to produce reliable data pools and act as a base for further directions to orthopaedic and tissue engineering developments, specifically translation into the clinic.
Prior to the analysis, the data were standardized to produce a normal distribution of all variables, since water quality parameters had different magnitudes and scales of measurements, which if not taken into account would have given more weight to certain variables due to their respective variance.
In general, Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data are considered to be highly standardized and produce good, nationally representative data.
This domination arises through efficient supply chains and contracts with farmers enabling standardized quality produce to become cheaper than traditional supply chains.
