The phrase "associates to delay" is not correct in standard written English.
It seems to be an attempt to convey a relationship between associates and the act of delaying, but it lacks clarity and proper grammatical structure.
Example: "The project associates tend to delay the decision-making process, which affects our timeline."
Alternatives: "related to postponement" or "linked to delays".
While the latter is interpreted as the reflectivity of the scatterers associated to propagation delay τ and Doppler shift υ, the former is interpreted as the reflectivity of the scatterers associated to delay τ and scale shift (or time scaling) s.
Here the raw matched filter output corresponding to the k-th integration window, associated to delay t i and Doppler shift f j, is expressed as y k ( t i, f j ) = 1 T ∫ kT − T / 2 ( k + 1 ) T − T / 2 s r s ( θ − t i ) ∗ e − j 2 Π f j θ dθ.
Years of treatment ranging from 2009 to 2012 were also associated to delay in smear conversion (p < 0.02).
Pre-treatment smears graded 2+ and 3+ were independently associated to delay in smear conversion (p < 0.01).
Factors associated to delay were: systemic symptoms asthenia, chest pain, use of illicit drugs and sputum smear-negative.
The study analyzed biological, clinical, socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors as well as those related to HIV and TB infection, potentially associated to delay.
Analysis done on socio-demographic and clinical data of SPPTB treated in the DTC of Baleng between 2006 and 2012 showed that high pre-treatment smear grades (2+ and 3+) and treatment years between 2009 and 2012 were significantly and independently associated to delay in sputum smear conversion at the end of the intensive phase of treatment.
Multivariate logistic regression analysis presented in Table 2 indicated that all significant variables from the univariate analysis were independently associated to delayed smear conversion at the end of the intensive phase of treatment.
Second, the distortion associated to delay-tolerant strategies is, as expected, lower than for delay-constrained ones.
Besides, the distortion associated to delay-tolerant strategies is, as expected, lower than for delay-constrained ones: some 2-3 dB for both the QE and CE encoding schemes.
