We also find that ratios in real experiments are not significantly different from hypothetical experiments and that incentive-compatible elicitation yields higher ratios.
Although it was not possible to quantify the amount of falsely-primed cDNA that was generated from a specific strand of viral RNA, it is reasonable to presume that ratios of falsely-primed products approximate ratios of and strand RNAs in the infected cell.
It is acknowledged that markers may respond in clusters or that ratios of different markers may be calculated.
The fold-changes found by qRT-PCR were slightly higher than those found by any of the microarray platforms, confirming previous observations that ratios tend to be compressed in microarray experiments [ 21, 23, 35].
That ratios to cholesterol of campesterol, sitosterol and cholestanol (a 5-α saturated, enzymatically formed derivative of endogenous cholesterol) in serum are associated with the efficiency of cholesterol absorption among human subjects has been documented in detail [ 12– 17].
To confirm whether the peaks of SRM chromatogram were derived from the endogenous YALSQDVCTYR peptide, we checked that ratios among the peak areas of 6 SRM transitions were comparable with those of the standard YALSQDVCTYR peptide.
That ratios between hormones and cytokines are difficult to interpret is illustrated by the fact that, even though serum cortisol and IL-6 concentrations were linearly related in the quoted study of IL-6 injections [ 15], calculated ratios between cortisol and IL-6 decreases with increasing IL-6 concentrations, because the regression line did not originate in the (0,0).
In a similar manner, the XPS studies allowed us to establish that ratios of 1 40 and 1 2000 of biotin-6KC TEGT biotin-6KC TEGTare needed to achieve biotin-6KC:TEGT surface ratios of 1:7 ± 2 and 1:17 ± 2, respectively.
Indeed, studies suggest that ratios of X inactivation can vary.
It is vital that ratios are not increased to the point that safety is put at risk.
It is true, as the critics grumble, that ratios are crudely measured and don't tell the whole story of a company's approach to pay.
