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].
Studies have yet to be conducted to find out whether standardized patients produce doctors with better clinical skills and bedside manners.
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.
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.
In general, Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data are considered to be highly standardized and produce good, nationally representative data.
The "O" and "H" antigens were stabilized suspensions of smooth, non-fimbriate, killed bacilli, which were standardized to produce appropriate reactivity.
Thus we discover that Ben Shibe (after whom a park in Philadelphia was named) "made his fortune by perfecting the machines that produced standardized baseballs".
The standardized beta coefficients produced from the multivariate correlation analysis (providing a measure of the contribution of each variable in the structural equation model) was used to finalise the weighting of each parameter in the index accordingly.
Finally, most of the reagents available for all of these assays have been developed and standardized for vaccines produced in eggs and may, as a result, be biased to recognize antibodies against antigens from influenza viruses grown in eggs.
