These measures were collected at baseline using a variety of commonly utilized and previously validated self-report questionnaires and physical examination procedures performed by research personnel unaware of randomization assignment at baseline.
Data abstractors, trained by investigators, utilized standardized and validated data collection tools to transcribe information from patient records.
For this purpose, complex modulus of four different asphalt mixtures were utilized and after validating results of numerical method for determining Mr, based on linear viscoelastic theory, resilient moduli of these mixtures were computed under different conditions.
Participants self-reported their health conditions, a method that is often utilized and has been validated in the literature.
The complexity of the physiological processes regulated by this pathway poses a significant hurdle utilizing and validating it as a bona fide target for neurodegenerative disease therapies.
To specify those members of the Notch pathway that are involved, we utilized previously validated Notch and Notch ligand targeting morpholinos to investigate the individual effect of several notch receptors and ligands.
A computational model was developed and validated utilizing the available experimental results.
In particular, the reforming of methane, a typical biogas (comprising of 60% CH4 and 40% CO2), methanol and ethanol is numerically assessed by utilizing a recently developed and validated comprehensive detailed kinetic mechanism for C1 C6 hydrocarbons, augmented with a PAH model.
To evaluate this hypothesis, we utilized previously validated UAS-Brp and Brp-RNAi constructs (Wagh et al. 2006).
Finally, a corresponding experiment is done, which is mainly utilized for supporting and validating the numerical simulation and theoretical investigation.
