The females in this study were pre-menopausal and therefore can be assumed to have elevated estrogen levels compared to the male cohort; however, we did not directly measure ovarian hormones.
When Clinton, upon assuming the post, elevated the Office of Global Women's Issues to ambassadorial level by appointing Melanne Verveer as its first ambassador, many assumed that women's issues would still be side-lined as soft issues.
Thus, we assume that abnormally elevated chemokines and growth factors would be involved in the modulation of retinal neovascularization of PDR patients.
The Velikondas are assumed to have been elevated during the Cambrian Period (about 540 to 490 million years ago).
Additionally, China, India, and Taiwan were assumed to have markedly elevated productivity in research, and research results from the latter 2 countries were better appreciated among Asian countries from the viewpoint of the higher rate of original articles and reviews than other Asian countries (except for Japan).
We assume that the mildly elevated glucose of the subjects in the first group of our cohort may reflect other detrimental disease and is not directly related to DM or its treatment.
By removing all individuals with hs-CRP >10 mg/l, we sought to avoid the loss of discriminatory accuracy associated with what we assume to be acutely elevated hs-CRP levels.
The data are presented in Additional file 5. From July 1975 until early July 1976, the likelihood of a magmatic eruption was only very marginally elevated above the assumed base-rate: at the 95%ile level this probability would have been less than 0.01 (i.e. only a 5% chance it would be greater), while the corresponding 95%ile probability for a phreatic explosion was 0.07.
Gomulkiewicz and Holt (1995) did not consider density-dependent effects but assumed that extinction risk was elevated below a threshold, critical population size (Nc).
After 18 days of street protests the military assumed control of the country, elevating a council of 21 senior officers as the country's supreme leaders.
