Furthermore, none reported that they obtained the agent from multiple doctors, which was the case with 3% of the admissions in 1980.
Although wide strata of the general population are exposed to low, background levels of toxic and carcinogenic inhalable compounds, industrial workers have been often exposed to significantly higher concentrations of potentially carcinogenic agents released from multiple sources (MacArthur et al. 2009).
Bacterial causative agents for coral diseases have been identified in previous studies [11] [12], [55] [60], including specific virulence mechanisms that enable coral colonization and disease progression [61] [62], however, this study is the first to investigate the clinical effect of a virulence factor derived from multiple causative agents and applied to multiple targets.
De-escalation was defined as changing the focus from multiple agents to a single agent if P. aeruginosa was not present or as changing from a broad to a narrow agent based on culture data [ 20].
We focus on a game-theoretic regression learning setting where private information is elicited from multiple agents with different, possibly conflicting, views on how to label the points of an input space.
The term "cumulative risk assessment" is defined as an analysis, characterization, and possible quantification of the combined risks to human health or the environment from multiple agents or stressors (U.S. EPA 2003).
Novel agents with multiple targeting ability distinct from the known drugable targets could be useful for circumventing the limitations of current treatment options.
Proposed concept of IC-Agent is based on the distributed storage architecture for personal data storage where some data is stored by the IC-Agent, while other information is retrieved from multiple distinct IC-Agent sources thus follows the Identity Federation principle.
We analyze two models: a "pooling system," in which a single downstream principal pools a resource from multiple upstream agents; and a "distribution system," in which one upstream principal allocates a resource across multiple downstream agents.
Dynamic allocation mechanisms assign resources to agents across multiple rounds while guaranteeing agents their entitlements.
Knowledge-based blackboard systems, like [68], are algorithms that successively incorporate information from multiple, independent agents.
