In a review of previous studies of lumbar TDR at 2-year follow-up, the reoperation rate ranged from 3.7 to 8.8% [3, 26, 40, 49]. Although the incidence of TDR was not significantly different compared with that of the fusion group at short-term follow-up, due to the surgical approach...
the year of sample analysis. In order to make age results more easily comparable to previous research, particularly that based on radiocarbon measurements, ages are also given in conventional years BP by reference to 1950 (see Table 1, Supplementary Material). 3.3. Significance of coral-clast ...

The simulation progresses in one-year discrete timesteps and has two components that are evaluated each year. In the population component, the number of farmers in a cell is modeled as a logistic growth process with carrying capacity that varies in space and time. Spatial variation is based on...
In the tropics, cities such as Antigua, Honolulu and Manila experience amplification in load demand across all hours, while the remaining cities (which mostly belong to the “unresponsive” group) show either partial or almost complete reductions in demand over the course of the year (e.g., ...

The target sample size was 55, to obtain a significant (Po0.05) difference of 3.5 kg between the mean weight of the two groups at 24 months (based on an expected mean gain of 1.0 kg in 24 months in the SDI group,17 and a mean loss of 2.5 kg in the MI group based on the ...
