First, an assumption in the LMMs motivating its definition is that all participants have identical baseline dates. Second, when participants are followed over a short period compared to the full lifespan, the values of tij vary between zero and some maximum which is much lower than the maximum...
Interviewed experts of different professional associations and the Lower Saxony Regional Office for Ecology stated that in general these workers are employed for a long time.

It should be noted that when sampling from a single cohort in a population with overlapping generations, the effective mother size in our definition corresponds to the effective breeding mother size, which produces a single cohort. One might ask whether the proposed effective size is consistent ...
The inverse association between risk of colorectal cancer and confirmed or self-reported vegetarian sta- tus did not reach statistical significance, but was notably attenuated using self-definition (HR = 0.78, 95% CI:0.51–1.20 and HR = 0 .91, 95% CI:0.66–1.25, respectively...
Even with this focused definition of resistance and resilience, we recognize that there are still challenges in applying these definitions in research cohorts given imprecise, qualitative neuropathological criteria for AD regarding pathologic burden and the potential to overclassify resilience and ...
Context: This dissertation examines beliefs and uses regarding tagging among current undergraduate students, and examines the ecology of communications practice and implications for formation and maintenance of identity within the population. Currently enrolled undergraduate students at UNC-Chapel Hill formed ...
Definition and follow up of outcome variables Attrition Attrition was defined as the proportion of LLINs no longer in household use [34]. Attrition of LLINs was cat- egorized as "attrition for known outcome" and "attrition for unknown outcome". Attrition for known outcome Net lost...
An overly rapid rate of correction of chronic hyponatremia is believed to increase the risk of poor clinical outcomes including osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). There is disagreement in the literature regarding the definition of hyponatremic overcorrection. Methods We performed a systematic review ...
The WBDD is user-friendly and easy to master, with the definition for most of the symptoms provided by the database. However, in our consideration of specific characteristics of patients with ID phenotypes, we found the database presented some limitations. For example, it does not include ...
