Finite element analysis is used to validate results for a wide range of loading and boundary conditions of sector plates for possible future studies.
A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant, without correction for multiple testing, because we were validating results for candidate genes shown previously to differ between ART- and in vivo-conceived children.
We also used this technique to validate results for 3 bisulfite-PCR fragments with contrasted DNA methylation patterns (Table 3, and Additional file 1 for comparison of the two patterns).
As different genetic backgrounds of control and experimental animals can be a confounder in lifespan experiments, Burnett et al. [ 19] aimed to validate results for C. elegans and Drosophila with genetically matched controls and could not confirm the positive effect on lifespan.
AA planned the original study and the EU-project BAMOD, supervised all experiments and measurements, validated results, provided software for data analysis and validation, wrote the manuscript.
Experiments were also conducted to validate results obtained for the simulation.
Also, experiments using the novel evacuated receiver and traditional evacuated receiver were conducted in the laboratory under different parametric conditions to validate results obtained for the simulation.
We need better methods for validating results; better measures for process, implementation, and risk adjustment; better methods to measure hand hygiene; and standardization of formats and codes for efficient electronic data exchange.
qPCR also remains the method of choice for validating results obtained from whole-genome screening (e.g. with microarray).
All eight principles were positively endorsed by participants (all p<0.003) with priority placed on providing results at no cost, and returning well-validated results for treatable and serious diseases.
In a recent NATO study involving different laboratories that cross-validated results for different radiation biodosimetry assays, the dicentric chromosome assay, micronucleus assay, γ-H2AX and gene expression were assessed for their sensitivity and it was concluded that a combination of assays would be optimal for the estimation of dose and "never versus ever" exposure [ 35, 36].
