The mean value of five measurements/section and three sections per animal was used for the statistical analysis. Statistical analysis The results were expressed as mean ± SD and analyzed by GraphPad Prism software. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student’s t-test were used to ...
· Footnote "o" modified: "High-risk patients are defined by poorly differentiated tumors (including lung neuroendocrine tumors [excluding well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors]), vascular invasion, wedge resection, tumors >4 cm, visceral pleural involvement, and incomplete lymph node sampling (Nx)...
The instruction manual includes measurements for locating the two places to drill pilot holes. For sailing, the benches provide broad seating surfaces that make shifting weight fore-and-aft easy. Between the benches the boat has a 20″-wide passage that’s 9-1/2′ long. Ledges along the b...
Eligible volunteers underwent a series of baseline measurements for serum 25-OH-D and complete blood panel, urine HMB, determination of skeletal muscle function via one- and ten-repetition maximum (1RM, 10RM) and maximal isokinetic knee extension, body composition assessment via dual energy X-ray...
2a). Their location in starch or protein network or void helped derive the stiffness and failure stress of the springs thanks to the mechanical measurements made on wheat endosperm by AFM (Chichti et al., 2013). In the elastic regime, there was very good agreement with experimental tests (...
Several unit mass resolution instruments, including ion traps and triple quadrupole instruments [155], allow a hardware-based high-resolution or an ultra-zoom scan [156]. This zoom scan can be used for accurate mass measurements or better charge state assignments. The resolving power usually can ...
Two-but- ton operation and no calibration required for most applications are designed to allow the user to take basic measurements or perform advanced functions easily. Specialty features including average zero (for rough substrates), automatic substrate recognition, flip display and PA2 capabil- ...
Summaries of the relative abundances of taxonomies, as well as beta and alpha diversity measurements were calculated using Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology (QIIME, v1.9.1) (Caporaso et al., 2010). Several beta diversity metrics were also implemented in the QIIME pipeline. Three-...
for all abnormal mediastinal or hilar nodes, which were defined as nodal short-axis diameter > 1.0 cm (>1.2 cm in the subcarinal region)27 on CT images and/or SUVmax ≥ 4.5 on PET/CT images post-therapy and compared to their corresponding pre-therapy measurements. Measur...
119 demonstrated with the MC method that diodes could be used to determine the dosimetric parameters of small fields down to 1 cm × 1 cm. Simulations and measurements showed up to 4.5% differences in fields smaller than 1 cm × 1 cm, and they were attributed to the source occlusion and ...
