PMF allows each data point to be individually weighted. This feature allows the modeler to adjust the influence of each data point, depending on the confidence in the measurement. For example, data belowdetection limitcan be retained for use in the model, with the associated uncertainty adjusted...
Left boxplot = low/mild distress class (n = 623); middle boxplot = moderate distress class (n = 390); right boxplot = high distress class (n = 117). Centre line = median (50% quantile); lower box limit = 25% quantile; u...
There is no limit to how good my life can become when I put positive things into my mind. Say Yes To Life When I say yes to life, opportunities come so fast from so many different direction, it's impossible to take advantage of them all. ...
Some prismatic batteries have external PTC devices that are attached to the cell case to limit the current. Li-ion cells with PTC thermistors are safer than cells without PTC thermistors, but PTC thermistors can cause higher cell resistance and produce more thermal losses. Although PTC thermistors...
To maintain healthy aging and limit the impact of declined physical performance, it is of importance to increase the understanding of factors related to physical performance, such as self-perceptions of aging (SPA). Beliefs and expectations of aging are hypothesized to assimilate during childhood, ...
by Maryann Napoli The cholesterol skeptics were there. So were the physicians who challenge the safety and necessity of cholesterol-lowering drugs. And then there were the lipid researchers whose findings totally contradict the prevailing dietary advice to the public: Avoid saturated fats, limit choles...
Among serodifferent heterosexual and MSM couples in which the HIV-positive partner was using suppressive ART and who reported condomless sex, during median follow-up of 1.3 years per couple, there were no documented cases of within-couple HIV transmission (upper 95% confidence limit, 0.30/100 co...
with HIV load less than 200 copies/mL was zero, with an upper 95% confidence limit of 0.30 per 100 couple-years of follow-up (0.29 when including periods of follow-up time in which the HIV-RNA load was suppressed at the beginning of the period but during which the load became elevated...
Unspecific ID (beads without antibody conjugation) resulted in a signal reduction to 6.9% for IQC-1 and to 20.2% for plasma samples for signals above the LOD (limit of detection). However, with specific immunodepletion using bapineuzumab, the signal of IQC-1 was eliminated (signal <1% ...
Buildings account for 36% of the final energy demand and 39% of CO2 emissions worldwide. Targets for increasing the energy efficiency of buildings and reducing building related emissions is an important part of the energy policy to reach the Paris agreem
