Demographic characteristics are therefore considered to be postal-area-specific factors.
Future research should define the area-specific limiting factors for groundwater energy use.
However, this interval still has some disadvantages: (i) it is hard to use when at least one leverage value is high; (ii) many iterations tend to be required to obtain the estimators of one global model variance parameter as the number of areas, m, increases, due to the area-specific adjustment factor.
Selected centres will be able to obtain more in-depth information on both individual and area-specific social risk factors, as well as an evaluation of the family burden of patients with a psychotic onset.
Other studies reveal in addition to these medical reasons, that variation in hospitalization rates for children can also be attributed to non-medical factors, including area-specific hospital practice patterns, availability of beds, variation in access to ambulatory care [ 5], socio-demographic factors and, last but not least, environmental quality of life.
The importance of parental birth area can also be illustrated by adding it into either model 1 or model 2. The effects of area of residence and own birth area then totally disappear (Table 5), suggesting a marginal role of area-specific current or early-life factors.
Rauskolb, S. et al. Global deprivation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the CNS reveals an area-specific requirement for dendritic growth.
To achieve this purpose, we theoretically obtained a non-area-specific adjustment factor and the measure of uncertainty of the empirical Bayes estimator, which consist of empirical Bayes confidence interval, maintaining the existing desired properties.
The environmental chamber method is used to determine the area specific emission factor of VOCs emitted from building products, which is calculated from the small emission test chamber concentration by considering the passing air flow rate and surface area at 23 28 °C.
