The current science on allergy does not support the requirement for quantifying allergen levels in GM crops to support safety assessment.
Secondary outcome measures for parents will be: the informational/emotional subscale of the Medical Outcomes Study MOSSocialial Support Survey (a valid and reliable instrument for quantifying social support [ 33]), the 4-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) [ 34] and the FAMCARE scale (a valid and reliable instrument designed specifically to assess satisfaction with advanced cancer care [ 35]).
The benefit of ALP to improve clinical care in a cost-effective way needs to be demonstrated before entry into clinical practice; whilst some support has been given for quantifying LDL-p in the US [15,45], in most European health care systems this is not the case and we would support waiting for clearer evidence that cost benefit is obtained.
Furthermore, a Spanish group recently added to the body of evidence supporting use of ultrasound for quantifying inflammation in RA [ 17].
This observation is in line with the results of Messa, who showed a correlation between bone histomorphometric indices and 18F-fluoride-PET in patients with renal osteodystrophy, supporting the implementation of PET for quantifying BF [3].
In contrast, HaCaT cells do not require feeder cell support and provide a straightforward system for quantifying cell growth.
Although, this study supports the use of DSC-MRI for quantifying abnormal perfusion in rat brain tumors, as it is demonstrated herein, the technique is also sensitive enough to measuring the effect of dexamethasone treatment in the model.
This supports our hypothesis that HGI is a useful index for quantifying glucose control.
We support advocate participation in research, and we recognize that methods for quantifying their contributions require unique approaches.
Support for each is quantified in terms of posterior probabilities, denoted by PP0, PP1, PP2, PP3 or PP4, corresponding to the five hypotheses.
Recent analyses (L. Crozier, unpublished data) support this conclusion by quantifying thermal selection for earlier migration over the past 50 years.
