In addition, they provide a valuable baseline characterization of this population for subsequent, prospective studies.
Accordingly, the objectives of this study are to establish a baseline characterization of cardiac strains throughout the cardiac cycle, to quantify temporal, regional, and transmural variations of active fiber contraction, and to identify pathways of mechanical activation in the healthy beating heart.
These studies serve as baseline characterization of samples to be used to determine the impact of Al content on the thermal stability of delithiated Li[Co1−zAlz]O2 in electrolyte.
We present here a baseline characterization of brain structure in youth at-risk for bipolar disorder.
This baseline characterization of air microbiota provides an in-depth glimpse of an everyday environment closely encountered by the general public.
To address our first hypothesis and interpret this baseline characterization of asthmatic children in public housing enrolled in an intervention study, it is instructive to compare the prevalence of selected risk factors with those reported in previous studies [ 20, 25, 35- 39] (Table 7).
For this baseline characterization, two samples of 200 g each of beach clams were collected on March 30 , 2004
Establishing standard models for baseline characterization is critical to the effective design and implementation of environmental monitoring programs.
For example, despite baseline characterizations, 39% of our "bottled water drinkers" reported using public water as the primary drinking water source at home by the 12-month interview, and 10% of our "public water drinkers" reported drinking primarily bottled water at the 6-month interview.
Characterization of the baseline behavioral performance in a variety of functional tasks and identification of the temporal onset of behavioral impairments are important to provide a foundation for future preclinical testing of AD therapeutics.
