It is important to underline that this is a pilot retrospective study and where survival trends were consistent between OS and RFS for stage stratifications, significance was not always attained when stage subgroups were analysed independently, possibly due to low patient numbers.
While all the worms that were fed with the control bacterium OP50 reached L4 stage and beyond at 48 hours, only 45% of the E7946 fed worms attained L4 stage during this time (Fig. 2B), suggesting that a developmental delay was induced by V. cholerae exposure.
When the plants attained booting stage (22nd April), plants in 3 replications were covered with polythene sheet of 1 mm thickness (8-108-10%iatoon decreased) to provide heat stress till maturity (30th May) as shown in Additional file 1.
The most common reverse osmosis (RO) membranes which attained the stage of economic application in desalination plants are made of cellulose acetate (CA) or polyamide (PA), in either hollow fiber (HF) or spiral wound (SW) configurations.
While some geosynthetic coastal structures have attained advanced stage in terms of applications and efficiency, others still lack well-structured design formulas and specifications on a sound scientific basis, hence continued experimental works for the better understanding of the hydraulic performance, stability and modes of failure of these structures.
Timber-cutting and fires reduced old growth in Forest Park to "almost nothing" by 1940, and most of the forest has not yet attained this stage.
The parent '58-861' was the earliest genotype to reach the onset of growth cessation (date2.5) in Viterbo (VT), but it attained this stage beforehand in Cavallermaggiore (CV).
Finally, neuronal polarity is attained at Stage III when one of the minor processes begins rapid extension and gives rise to a single axon.
Dental disorders in sheep can lead to premature slaughter before they have attained final stage of their reproductive life and induce economic loss due to high flock replacement costs.
For example, among girls in the three levels of blood lead described above, the unweighted percentages of 10-year-olds who had attained Tanner stage 2 pubic hair were 60.0, 51.2, and 44.4%, respectively, and for girls 12 years old who reported reaching menarche, the values were 68.0, 44.3, and 38.5%, respectively.
