Further limitations were the patients and GPs inclusion process which was consecutive and voluntary.
Prior to recruitment, a random number drawn from a (0,1) uniform distribution (using the random number generator in SAS) was allocated to a participant number (which were consecutive integer values starting at 1).
For example, it is common that two contigs which are not consecutive in a locus are connected by a paired-end read.
Paired measurements, which are two consecutive measurements using the same method, permit the quantification of the change within the measured parameter, for example, ΔCO.
Patients were regarded to be in sustained remission when they maintained remission for six consecutive months, which is three consecutive visits for DAS remission and two consecutive visits for mACR remission.
Characterization of the samples by ESR, IR (CO chemisorption) and oxygen thermodesorption suggests that during dehydroxylation of zirconia at temperatures in the 400 500°C range Cu1 species form which are stable against consecutive reoxidation, when the zirconia surface is not rehydroxylated.
This can be verified by realizing that any two samples of the sequence d m [ k]θ m [ k]∗b m [ k], which are evaluated in consecutive time epochs, are correlated.
Therefore, we have drawn a balanced panel of 342 households which are observed five consecutive quarters in order to balance the desire for a reasonable number of observations both across households and time.
The clutch generally numbers three or four dull white eggs, which are laid on consecutive days.
