The present study used a complex design with multiple examiners with the aim of assessing the reliability of intraoral QST taking account of multiple sources of error simultaneously.
The CCHS is a cross-sectional study in which respondents are selected using a complex survey design with a two-phase stratified sampling plan intended to ensure adequate representation from each Canadian region.
We identified the extraction conditions offering the greatest selectivity for hGAD65mut over native tobacco proteins using a complex experimental design approach.
Using a complex experimental design, the authors successfully replenished cytochrome c levels and activity in the mitochondria of mouse myocardium by exogenous administration of bovine ferrocytochrome c.
By using a complex stimulus design and by combining 40 Hz amplitude-modulated test stimuli of different spectral characteristics (PB and SB) with a comb-filtered noise (CFN) masker, in this study we were able to simultaneously examine both ASSR (primary auditory cortex origin) and N1m (non-primary auditory cortex origin).
By manipulating hemodynamics using a complex formula designed to achieve specific targets for mean arterial pressure, urine output, and central venous oxygen saturation in septic patients, Rivers and colleagues showed that mortality could be improved by expanding one's hemodynamic goals beyond simply maintaining adequate blood pressure [ 32].
During each year, a sample representing the civilian, noninstitutionalized US population aged ≥ 18 years was selected by using a complex multistage sampling design that involves stratification, clustering, and oversampling.
Therefore, the modified dry-land version of the Biel-maze task, which measures cognitive performance using a complex multi-choice design, is more sensitive in demonstrating CPEE-induced spatial learning and memory deficits compared with a simple, rewarded-alternation Y-maze task.
NHANES is conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) using a complex multistage sampling design to obtain a probability sample of the civilian non-institutionalized U.S. population.
A sample of 52,300 families was randomly selected using a complex stratified multistage design, within strata of geographical areas, municipalities, and household sizes, to produce estimates representative of the whole Italian population.
