The NSA now must use a "specific selection term" to collect metadata.
For the proposed image similarity, we use a specific selection of weights ω n and ω m, which are computationally efficient and guarantee the convergence of the sum.
Techniques for minimizing selection bias include using a specific time period as a sampling frame, taking a random sample of all patients, or sometimes in hospitals that see and treat smaller numbers overall, recruiting all available patients.
In contrast to general QoL measures, which are structured around domains of similar importance, QoL tools specifically designed for substance use measurement allow for a specific selection of life areas that are most salient for drug users (DUs)[ 18].
Then, a specific selection of policies is used to ensure convergence.
For example, he noted that many group selection models use a specific mechanism of migration; it is assumed that the migrating individuals mix completely, forming a "migrant pool" from which migrants are assigned to populations randomly.
The EBA used a country-specific selection rule and included the largest banks in each EU country to cover 50% of the country's banking sector. Figure 1 shows that this country-specific selection threshold yielded a considerable overlap in size between banks selected and not selected into the capital exercise.
Using a selection of specific signaling pathway inhibitors, it was found that PI3K-, PKC- and p38-MAPK pathways positively regulated chondrogenesis while the ERK-pathway was found to be a negative regulator in staurosporine-induced re-differentiation, whereas down-regulation of ILK by siRNA indicated that ILK is not determining for chondrocyte re-differentiation.
The PCHCs enrolled in the study – two urban and two rural – were located in the Nicosia area and were selected using specific selection criteria.
A novel methodological approach based on a Bayesian framework and Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) simulation is developed to rank and select suppliers using specific selection objectives.
