It provides the examiner multiple analyses options such as measuring vessel caliber summary, vessel calibre of examiner specified segment, tortuosity and FD of the image for different regions.
This background distribution of tags can be estimated from a background window of fixed width ω centered on the specified segment.
We will define the following variables: 1. mean CIMT, defined as the average of 4 to 8 distances between the far wall lumen-intima and media-adventicia ultrasound interfaces taken bilaterally in each of the specified segments mentioned above, and 2. maximum CIMT, defined as the maximum distance in each segment.
We evaluate the performance of the Spectrum kernel [ 43], Wildcard kernel [ 43], and the Local Alignment kernel [ 24], replacing K in Equation 1. Essentially, spectrum-based kernels (including the Wildcard kernel) are based on the sharing of short sequence segments (of a specified length, with provision of minor differences in the case of the Wildcard kernel).
The Hox complex is an ancient and highly conserved cluster of related transcription factors that specify segment identity in almost all animals, and originated before the divergence of protostomes and deuterostomes.
Hox genes specify segment identity during development: the unique combination of their expression pattern provides correct positional identity along the anterior-posterior (AP) body axis.
abdA, which appears to be activated downstream of DSXF in females and repressed downstream of DSXM in males, is a well-characterized homeotic selector gene that was shown to be important for specifying segment identity [ 47, 48].
For a specified value of P0 (0 < P0 < 1), one can determine all the segments of a chromosome that are associated with a P-value less than or equal to P0.
The second is a marker-assisted advanced intercross, which modifies the breeding scheme to choose sib-pairs to increase segments until either a specified generation or a desired number of segments is reached; it then reverts to choosing sib-pairs to accelerate inbreeding.
Several criteria for the qualitative (visual) assessment of FDG-PET for the detection of large artery involvement in GCA have been introduced, ranging from "increased" circumferential F-FDG uptake (i.e., not further specified) in a segment of the arterial wall to equal or more intense vascular wall uptake than liver uptake [ 9– 12].
Therefore, if we had summed the traffic on all segments within a specified buffer, we would have overcounted traffic on some streets that comprised multiple segments.
