Due to the novelty of this research field, there are no established guidelines, recommended practices, or standards to design floating support structures: this work presents a relatively simple and quick methodology to use in the conceptual and preliminary design phase, using and adapting the standards developed for oil and gas offshore floating structures.
A future work line is to develop a module parallel to UPnP in the "data exchange and service access", that allows to register and interconnect these devices automatically, as well as to improve the "device virtualization" module so that it can be compatible with any vehicle kind of devices making use of the standards developed by AUTOSAR.
Neuropeptides were extracted from 1 ml aliquots using C-18 SepPak cartridges, eluted, dried, and resuspended for validated radioimmunoassays for MEAP [ 13, 14] and nociceptin [ 15] using the standard methodologies developed in their laboratory.
Available resources for each hospital were registered at inclusion by the trial coordinator using the standard inventory developed by WHO for the global survey for monitoring maternal and perinatal health [ 15].
Using the standard criteria developed by Stem Cell Technologies Inc. (Atlas of Human Hematopoietic Colonies), the colonies were classified into categories that included: CFU-GM, BFU-E, CFU-E, CFU-Mix, and CFU-GEMM.
We consider Boyer's theory of scholarship for health sciences scholars and an approach to evaluate the scholarship of integration and application using the six standards developed by Glassick and colleagues [ 3].
For positive amplification samples with no inhibitors, concentrations were determined using the standard curve previously developed.
The expectation is that each new regulation that governs carbon production — among them, the fuel-economy rule for automobiles — will now consider its social cost, using the standard, which was developed by an interagency group inside the Obama administration.
The EQ-5D scores were calculated using the standard SPSS syntax developed by the EuroQOL group [ 25].
Optimal sample sizes were calculated using the standard statistical formula developed by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) [ 17].
