  • This feature can be used to implement filtering rules based on empirically derived data.

  • Genes were assigned to each cluster using an empirically chosen membership cutoff of 0.06 or 0.08, and the probability of observing the number of genes in each cluster that contained one or more copies of each transcription factor binding site was calculated, based on the hypergeometric distribution (see Materials and methods).

  • It is, in general, difficult to predict death in a particular patient because of individual variations and since "we do not know the exact borderline between life and death" [ 27 ] . To a certain extent the point in time to accept dying - at least in medical institutions - depends on empirically based decisions to abstain from potentially life-sustaining interventions e.g. pharmacological, technical or other artificial support of organ function "to prevent death" at least for limited moments of time [ 28 29 ] .

  • Data were plotted as a GS-E (RLU1/RLU2)/Control (RLU1/RLU2) ratio (as in Table 1) fold induction over the 0 time point which was set empirically as 1. This data shown in Figure 3Aindicates that gene expression is increased by 8 hours and reaches maximum induction by 24 hours.

  • To date, only a relatively small number of gene transcripts are known to target to the cytoskeleton and all of these have been found empirically.
