The purified enzyme migrated as a single band with a size of about 23.8 kDa on SDS-PAGE (Fig. 1), a molecular weight in agreement with that predicted from the gene sequence.
For birth weight, the agreement between maternal reports and registry information was nearly perfect (rS = 0.97).
Wild-type Twinkle, A359T, W474C, W315L and S369P were mostly eluted at high molecular weight in agreement with normal multimer stability (Fig. 5).
According to their ordinal level, the items were evaluated by weighted kappa statistics (κw), using linear weights for agreement [ 39].
Our results indicate that volume-weighting improves agreement between the protocols for whole-lake total CPUE, estimated proportion of perch and roach and the overall fish community composition.
Although MALDI-TOFMS provided average molecular weights in agreement with certified values, the polydispersity given by MALDI-TOFMS were found to be very small for all the polystyrenes.
The resulting compression and Soundex codes are assigned different weights for agreement depending upon their frequency in the population.
The hierarchical weights for agreement associated with kappa statistics was ranged as follows: k < 0.00 to indicate no agreement, k = 0.00 0.20 to indicate poor agreement, k = 0.21 0.40 to indicate fair agreement, k = 0.41 0.60 to indicate moderate agreement, k = 0.61 0.80 to indicate substantial agreement, and k = 0.81 1.00 to indicate almost perfect agreement [ 23].
The superiority of the two degree-based weighting schemes over unit weights is in agreement with previous results (Croes et al., 2005, 2006), which show that weighting the metabolic network avoids irrelevant hub compounds.
Consider a more generalized situation in which each agent is given a nonnegative weight and the agreement state is defined as the weighted average of the initial conditions.
