Cook and Calabrese (2006) referred to hormetic responses being "ubiquitous" in nature, but that definition (Merriam-Webster 2002) requires hormesis to be everywhere at all times (i.e., with 100% frequency of occurrence and with 100% frequency at any and all times within a given testing or testing series).
The theory of critical band enabled us to estimate TTS at a given test frequency due to noise having any spectrum content.
The results of the finite element analyses suggest that a direct correlation between qb0.1 and qc can be established at a given test site which is independent of footing width and depth and is relatively weakly dependent on the sands relative density if the zone of influence of the foundation considered is large enough.
For the purpose of analysis in this study we defined a "high-viral-load individual" as a subject with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels ≥50,000 (4.7 log10) copies/ml at a given test time-point.
The spectral sensitivity was defined as the magnitude of photoresponse (As/A0) at a given test wavelength.
Urinary metabolites of organophosphate pesticides have a relatively short half-life, and it is unlikely that the performance on the NB tests at a given test session is a temporary influence on performance measured at that given point in time.
As expected for cancer-linked DNA methylation changes [ 7], there was large variability in the average 5-methylcytosine (5mC) content at a given test region among individual cancer samples, as seen in the high standard deviation (SD) relative to the mean methylation values (Table 3).
In our context, FDR is the proportion of detected disease associations (under a given hypothesis testing procedure) that are false, while the q-value is defined as the minimum FDR at which a given test can be considered significant.
Therefore, in our experiment a given test that is performed at a given frequency uniquely determined the associated health gain.
In order to discern the role of these two factors, we performed two additional sets of simulations: (i) the network trained at a given adaptation intensity was tested at each of the test intensities (ranging from 17 to 23); (ii) a given test intensity was used to test the network trained at each of the adaptation intensities (ranging from 17 to 23).
