Because barriers may differ by physical activity levels, we analyzed barriers by diabetes status in two separate physical activity strata: among respondents who were "less active" (<150 min of weekly MVPA) and "more active" (≥150 min per week of MVPA).
Although we prestratified on preoperative active RoM (strata > 100° <), mean preoperative flexion RoM was slightly higher in the CPM group.
In some of these situations, a simple design may be unethical; in others, a simple superiority design may require unrealistically potent new drugs to beat the active control in strata where the latter is most effective, while a simple non-inferiority design may require unrealistically narrow non-inferiority margins relative to the active control in strata where the latter is least effective.
Our results suggest that DNase 2 is active in the stratum corneum and in the material attached to beard hair.
Since the pH of mammalian stratum corneum is within the range from pH 4.5 to pH 6 [28], [28], acid DNases are more likely than neutral DNases to be active within the stratum corneum.
Thus, we obtained five strata for active and passive smoking: current smoker, former smoker with ETS, former smoker without ETS, never smoker with ETS, never smoker without ETS.
32 One of the greatest obstacles to topical treatment is the absorption of the active ingredient through the stratum corneum; which can vary greatly with the vehicle used for delivery.
On the other hand, hybrid designs are intended to permit determinations of efficacy using different endpoints in different strata for example, direct superiority to placebo in one stratum and non-inferiority to an active control in a different stratum.
In Northern England, the Ripon Bypass crosses Permian strata affected by active gypsum karst and severe subsidence problems.
Local background functions (with Rb or Ti as a predictor) and local enrichment factors (LEFs) were obtained for Ba, Ni, Pb, U and Zn concentrations in unpolluted sediments from the deeper strata of the active floodplain, an abandoned floodplain and an ancient terrace.
