The within-cluster referral process presents the potential for bias, as respondents may not have always referred to the nearest household; referral procedures and small clusters size may have attenuated within-cluster similarities and the associated design effect.
The within cluster referral process also presents the potential for bias, as respondents may not have always referred to the nearest household and instead to friends, which could have resulted in bias, though referral procedures and small clusters size may have attenuated within-cluster similarities and the associated design effect.
Reviewer 1: Prior work from this group had shown that phosphorylation of the Ypk1 protein kinase at its TORC2-dependent sites is eliminated rapidly during hyperosmotic shock but that this loss is attenuated within 10-15 min, but this attenuation was found to be independent of known stress response pathways, including the Hog1 MAPK.
These p-GGPMs generated continuous US signals over 70 min, while the signals from Sonovue®, a commercial US contrast agent were completely attenuated within 15 min.
The site data along with the modeling results indicate that the chlorinated ethene and chlorinated ethane plumes are degrading and will attenuate within 1000 ft down gradient from the source, well before reaching the identified exposure point.
After approximately 10 years of wastewater infiltration, P is effectively attenuated within the first 10 m downgradient of the source mainly through fast sorption onto calcite and Fe oxides.
It was clear from the water surface elevations and the continuous pressure transducer data that flow was attenuated within the bioreactor (i.e., reduction in peak flow as the hydrograph moved down gradient).
The efficient detection of acoustic emission (AE) activity from snow having porous and fragile character is hindered by the fact that the AE signals have small amplitudes and are typically attenuated within a short distance from the source.
The results show that the Bragg band gaps still exist in the 3D periodic pipe structure, and vibrations are strongly attenuated within the frequency ranges of the band gaps.
Each peak has a sharp rising edge due to the scatter from the front edge of boxes, and then a longer tail which arises from the scattered photons becoming attenuated within the box.
These detector arrays can quantify the spatial distribution and magnitude of the exit radiation beam energy flux that has not been attenuated within the patient, which combined with knowledge of the beam's entrance characteristics and patient's attenuation map relates an estimate of the patient's absorbed dose.
