(16) Signal is useful variability, potentially relatable to explanatory variables, and noise is extraneous.
(17) In particular, studies are needed that employ prospective designs and that deliberately measure or control for the extraneous prognostic variables that may affect adjustment.
(18) Then by "phase-switching" on the same cartridge, 1,25(OH)2D is sufficiently resolved from other vitamin D metabolites and extraneous lipophilic compounds to allow its quantification by radioreceptor assay according to an established procedure.

(20) The endogenous mono- and bipolar subtypes of major depressive disorders showed intimate connections between the various neuroendocrine functional systems and the above mentioned extraneous factors resulting in a narrowed variability and a stronger coupling in the reactivity of these hormonal functional systems, a condition which can be seen as analogous to experimental results at the psychophysiological level in these nuclear groups of depressed patients, whose psychopathological state is also characterized by similar limitations in their "degree of freedom" (Heimann).
Undiluted
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) In SYD fT is estimated from the rate at which radiolabelled testosterone redistributes between two identical (undiluted) plasma aliquots separated by a dialysis membrane.
(2) The measurement of fentanyl after intravenous (2 mg) and intramuscular (0.25 mg) administration in undiluted plasma was not reproducible while accurate quantification of fentanyl in urine greatly depends on the composition of the horse urine.
(3) In contrast, chemotactic activity for neutrophils is already demonstrable in undiluted normal serum.
(4) The vaccine was used undiluted (group A), at a dilution of 10(-3) (group B) and at a dilution of 10(-6) (group C).

(6) A 1:1000 dilution of the antiserum used in this study gave a strong positive reaction with rat C-cells, and 1 ml of undiluted antiserum provided sufficient material for staining approximately 5000 slides.
(7) Titration of the immobilizing activity of anticell sera by adding a constant amount of motile cells to serial dilutions of serum gave two zones of maximum immobilization, one with undiluted serum and one at higher dilutions.
(8) Ten patients, with a range of illness severity, received a continuous 8-hour infusion of undiluted propofol for sedation while undergoing mechanical ventilation in a general intensive care unit.
(9) Undiluted serum from most normal donors inhibited colony formation, but 43-53% of sera from patients with histiocytic lymphoma, lymphocytic lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease stimulated colony formation, serum activity correlating with the stage of the disease.

(11) The fertilising and hatching abilities of saline-diluted semen were comparable with those of undiluted semen.
