The annual average attenuation of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) based nutrients were 2 4 times higher during the post-restoration periods than that observed during the pre-restoration periods.
The 2006 annual average vertical attenuation coefficients at 490 nm (k490) were obtained from the MODIS project [42].
Our results indicate that although the back bays systems in the Delmarva Peninsula and similar ecosystems in the US East Coast could provide storm surge attenuation for annual storm events, its use in coastal engineering protection may require a case by case analysis due to the high dependence on local characteristics.
Long-term monthly and annual statistics of the attenuation of electromagnetic waves that have been obtained from 6 years of measurements on a free space optical path, 853 meters long, with a wavelength of 850 nm and on a precisely parallel radio path with a frequency of 58 GHz are presented.
ΔPM10 was associated with an aver-age attenuation of annual FEF25 75 decline by an average of 17.4 mL/year (95% CI, 8.95 25.78) in GG genotypes (Pro/Pro) and by an average of 11.6 mL/year (2.65 20.61) in CG genotypes (Arg/Pro) but no attenuation in CC genotypes (Arg/Arg).
A 10 μg/m decline in PM10 over an 11-year period was associated with an average attenuation of annual decline in FEF25 75 of 6.0 mL/year [95% confidence interval (CI), −4.54 to 16.54] in participants with an AA genotype, 13.7 mL/year (5.38 22.06) in heterozygous AG participants, and 21.3 mL/year (10.57 32.08) in participants with a GG genotype.
The proportion of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes attaining targets for glycaemic control (HbA1c level ≤7.5% and ≤10%), cholesterol level, and blood pressure showed attenuation of annual trends in improvement after the introduction of the quality and outcomes framework (fig 2).
Oxygen and carbon isotope profiles from the outer calcite layer of two well-preserved specimens of the Pliocene scallop Fortipecten takahashii exhibit distinct attenuation in their annual ranges throughout the complete growth history of approximately 10 years.
This reduction in particle levels was associated with attenuation in the annual rate of decline of lung function (Downs et al. 2007).
Table 3 presents the association between ΔPM10 and lung function decline according to categories of average BMI, expressed as percent attenuation of mean annual decline in lung function (see Table 3 and Figure 1 for estimates expressed as absolute excess decline).
