The technique measures radio-labeled food remaining in the stomach at hourly intervals after patient ingests a standardized meal [ 3] as an indicator of delayed GE.
More specifically, the C/N0 is estimated from the average post-correlation power, i.e. the C/N0 is directly proportional to the correlation value that is in turn an indicator of the delay error.
Information on duration of symptoms before hospital treatment was used as an indicator of patient delay and was available for 40 of the 45 patients whose leaks were treated surgically.
Alternatively, as in this particular case, geographic distance can be used as an indicator of delay[2].
The average PST is a good indicator of delay and congestion around a node.
Tracking actual help-seeking for real symptoms would require unfeasibly large samples and study duration, so we therefore used a hypothetical question (how soon would you seek medical help with ….) as a proxy indicator of delay.
This has led to the interpretation of emergency presentations as an indicator of preventable diagnostic delay in colorectal cancer.
By comparing the evolution of the acoustic wave parameters (e.g. power and delay), an indicator of the fouling rate is obtained for each zone inside the exchanger.
We have previously suggested the application of "treatment delay" as an indicator of the quality of TB control program performance at the local level [ 17].
Moreover, the disappearance of γ-H2AX, an indicator of ongoing DSB repair, is markedly delayed in shATM cells, indicating that ATM deficiency, like in other dividing cell types, delays the DNA repair also in hNSCs.
