Length of T cell responses in all compartments would increase with the increase in time periods between successive vaccinations and then drop to zero in about 60 to 100 days after the last vaccination for all four cases with a smaller duration of response for longer time between successive immunizations.
And that is where the contrarians rush in, proposing that reality is not continuous but discrete, with a smallest possible length and a smallest possible duration of time.
In our simulations, the Poissonian arrivals are generated using the Binomial counting process by generating a binary random event with a probability of within a small time duration of, as described in [46, Sectio 21.3], which converges to a Poissonian process as with.
Quantitative analysis method uses measurable data to evaluate and assign risk levels, however, if the quantitatively measurable data is small or only from a short duration of time, the accuracy of the metrics may be skewed.
Two tumors (13-0890 and 13-1411) haveventsthathareare clearly separated through time and span the range of (relative) time, whereas events from other three tumors are estimated to have occurred over a small range of time, suggesting a short duration of rapid copy-number change.
When the CFP duration is increased to 160 TU (superframe duration = 200 TU), there is a severe drop in LP throughput in the standard 802.11e due to the drastic increase in collisions during the CP which now comprises of a small fraction of time of the total superframe duration.
A lengthy duration of time can pass by in a flash.
Longer durations of adherence states permit reversion of resistance, leading to a smaller proportion of time spent in the resistant state.
Lamarck objected that the few thousand years that had elapsed since the Egyptian cat was embalmed represented "an infinitely small duration" relative to the vastness of time.
