The company said that the downgrade "appears to be mainly based upon the rating agency's negative outlook for the telecommunications market," and not any specific problem at Alcatel.
Two burning velocities are defined, one based upon the rate of propagation of the flame front, the other on the rate of formation of burned gas.
This significant expected effect size is based upon the rate of post-surgical infection previously investigated in animal models of implant-related infection, using the DAC device [26].
This algorithm detects the uppermost value of K that can be clearly resolved based upon the rate of change in the lnP(D) between successive K values.
This is important because the decision-making of which instrument is the most appropriate for use in clinical practice, is based upon the rating of the different items of that list.
It may be possible to establish an index system for assessing the obesogenic potential of foods, based upon the rate of proliferation of relevant bacteria either in the gut or under simulated conditions in vitro.
Based upon the simplifying assumptions that mutations occur randomly, that non-synonymous changes do not occur in conserved regions, and that the fixation of synonymous mutations follows a Poisson distribution, the proportion of primer binding regions that will have three or more mismatches can be calculated based upon the rate of evolution for the gene in question between the two index species.
A broader implication for this simple model is that it should be possible to select index species based upon the rate of divergence in coding regions for any group of organisms (e.g., plants, animals, microorganisms) that will provide a predictable rate of success prior to designing primers.
Charter section 1502 states that the rates "shall be based upon the prevailing rates for similar services and commodities supplied or sold by other utilities, whether public or private, operating in the Southern California area". Until this year, local gas prices had matched those of Southern California Gas, which serves cities surrounding Long Beach.
At aging temperatures of 15 and 30°C below the midpoint glass transition temperature (Tg), the a-PS/PPO blends exhibited volume relaxation rates that were retarded compared to additivity based upon the aging rates for pure a-PS and PPO.
Private loans, in contrast, typically carry variable interest rates, meaning that they often reset every quarter based upon the interest rates that banks pay each other.
