In this context, we expect that five years constitutes a reasonable lag to observe the effects of a policy change.
The QUOROM statement was first published in November 1999 [ 20], so to allow a reasonable lag time for studies in progress or under review for publication to finish and the report to be published, those reports published prior to December 31, 2000 were adjudicated as the 'pre-QUOROM' group and those published after January 1 , 2001as the 'post-QUOROM' group.
Under a reasonable exposure lag assumption for a slow-progressing disease like CLL (e.g., 20 years), the distribution of CLL cases with respect to cumulative radiation dose would tend to shift farther toward zero.
We set the lag time as 0 3, 0 5, 0 7, 0 10, 0 15, 0 21, 0 28, and 0 30 days to check the robustness of our estimates, then compared the effect of extreme temperature within each grouping of lag days, and selected the reasonable lag days to quantify the cold/heat effect.
Although the time delay is different in the transient and steady-state phases of the system response, the steady-state time delay provides a reasonable estimate of the lag between the input and the output over the time course (Fig. 3C).
3 This is a reasonable hypothesis since the smoothing lag should be selected to account for, at least, the observations containing all the energy of the symbols transmitted at time t.
"At this point, we believe management views Intel's dual-core roadmap, while behind AMD, to be within a reasonable timeframe (roughly a quarter lag)." The firm said Dell may explore taking more control of its financing segment, Dell Financial Services, in which it holds a 70% stake.
For example a knowledge gain is assumed to result from biomedical and basic research; if such an output is then properly translated in a short but reasonable time lag, it will lead to a better health status for populations and patients.
(Now, in his perpetually jet-lag-addled geography, a reasonable question would be: Where is home?) One afternoon last fall, I met with Stringer in a corner office on the sixth floor of a nondescript modern eight-story building in Tokyo's Shinagawa ward, a residential and commercial area where one of Sony's first factories was built, almost sixty years ago.
Rather, it is often a reasonable response to the fact that our political and economic institutions lag way behind our personal ideals.
While the functional annotation of bacterial metagenomes is at a reasonable level and is gradually improving, the situation for viral metagenomes, or viromes, lags far behind.
