Because of large variability of MHC, the examination of MHC diversity is also useful for the management of endangered wild-animal populations that show no variation in genetic markers such as microsatellite loci [ 38].
Furthermore, assessing differences between rather small absolute results of an experimental investigation, i.e. the response to PCH, requires both, highly accurate measurements with low individual variability and the examination of large numbers of individuals.
To address the variability of nodal examination, an intuitive approach is to use the proportion or the percentage of involved nodes, as was suggested by Rostgaard and coworkers [ 14].
Part of the variability stems from the examination of low-fat dairy foods and/or Ca intake within two distinct contexts, one of which is energy balance and weight maintenance and the other of which is energy restriction and weight loss.
Choices concerning model structure and covariate selection were based on the reduction in NONMEM objective function value and interindividual variability, together with the examination of residual plots.
Because the current results suggest a strong association of template-item type with which patients have a nystagmus assessment, optimal template examination items may be a way to reduce variability of important examination assessments.
To attempt to reduce any variability of the assessment of the mCPR physical examination elements, all study patients were screened by the same clinician, the VA patients were screened in a VA setting and the non-VA patients were screened at a local hospital clinic.
Nevertheless, considering that epidemiological surveys often involve several examiners, the inter-observer variability in the examinations is a matter of concern.
A general observation from this examination is that the variability of the source profiles not only affects the calculated precision but also the mean/median source contributions.
In these studies, the immunochemical examination also revealed a variability of the pendrin protein expression.
