Potentially, the continuous measures of function and the underlying physiology (e.g. gait speed, muscle strength, pulmonary function) may be more sensitive in detecting aspects of "rate of aging", "age of onset" or "reserve capacity" and the predecessors of disability, which in turn could be valuable phenotypes for association and linkage studies of exceptional survival endophenotypes.
That contention was already in doubt, given that Congress gave the SEC the power to regulate certain aspects of rating agencies' work in 2006 and then expanded it in the Dodd-Frank reforms of 2010.Yet the precedent may not be a strong one.
The rheological, process technology and mathematical aspects of rating screws and screw segments in extruder screw design have received much attention over the years.
2) To quantify the nonlinear aspect of heart rate time series, a non-randomness index was defined to measure the symbolic patterns of heart rate dynamics away from complete randomness (i.e., absence of ordered control of the autonomic nervous system) [17].
This novel approach helps to draw attention towards the aspect of procedural rate enhancement in homogeneous catalysis.
Experiments demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method, especially in aspect of embedding rate versus Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR).
Compared to some conventional ACO algorithms, simulation and experimental results all indicate that the proposed scheme can provide better performance in the aspect of convergence rate and accuracy.
We are aware that the syllabic rate as a correlate of speech rate is inferior to the perceptual local speech rate (PLSR) proposed by Pfitzinger [21], as the local syllable rate and the local phone rate are not well-correlated, since they represent different perceptual aspects of speech rate.
By and large, the results of these studies point to the fact that the size of foreign direct investments flows, relative to gross domestic product, is not linked in any reliable aspect to rates of growth.
