Whereas decreased paraspinal muscle attenuation, not muscle volume, has been associated with decline in physical performance among older adults [ 30, 31], in our study, we found reduced paraspinal muscle volume, not muscle attenuation, influenced kyphosis.
Functional studies have suggested that asporin attenuates TGF-β signaling and that the extent of the attenuation is influenced by the number of D-repeats [ 2, 4, 5].
DW imaging is sensitive to microscopic translational motion of water molecules that occur in each voxel whereby signal attenuation is influenced not only by diffusion processes but also by perfusion and other kinds of motion, summarized as IVIM.
Different CT systems and an inconsistent CT examination protocol with potential variations in, e.g. tube voltage and contrast dosage before and after treatment, may influence attenuation.
The model predicts that nuclear compartmentalisation and phosphorylation status of STAT are key determinants of the pathway and that alternative mechanisms of signal attenuation exert their influence on different timescales.
It remains to be seen whether Lévy, who has just begun designing for Emanuel Ungaro, will continue with his trailblazing attenuation, which has influenced Thom Browne, Bottega Veneta and others.
Recent investigations in environment behavior of tree canopies have shown that both signal backscattering and attenuation are significantly influenced by tree architecture [1].
The characteristics of modulus attenuation are significantly influenced by the initial minor principal stress, EPS bead content and initial rotation angle of the major principal stress axis.
The reasoning behind this was that whatever might have caused the increase or decrease in the past is not likely to continue unchanged indefinitely; rather some attenuation of such influences seems more plausible.
The results show that this "mode" shape can strongly influence the attenuation at some frequencies.
