Response or participation rates are a direct determinant of whether the data accurately represent the group of interest [ 1].
Systolic LV function is a direct determinant of reservoir function, thus limiting its diagnostic potential [ 29, 30].
The delivery of effective onsite management in a timely fashion is a direct determinant of the degree and prognosis of damage.
Therefore, vorinostat-mediated transcriptional modulation of TXN and TXNIP was unlikely to be a direct determinant of normal BJ fibroblast resistance, or transformed BJ fibroblast sensitivity to vorinostat-mediated apoptosis.
In summary, our results suggest CXCL-8 is a direct determinant of aggressive melanoma phenotypes, including tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis, and targeting CXCL-8 produced by tumor cells and the supporting stroma is a direction for studying this pathway to develop future melanoma diagnosis and therapies.
Comparing these findings with frequently used IT adoption models such as the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology [ 14], the lack of association between system use and professionals' expectancies regarding the system's performance is surprising, as performance expectancy is considered a direct determinant of usage intention and subsequent usage behaviour [ 14].
Studies on technologies such as 3G mobile services (Suki & Suki, 2011) and blended learning systems (Padilla-Meléndez, Del Aguila-Obra, & Garrido-Moreno, 2013) revealed that PP is not a direct determinant of IU while on online banking (Pikkarainen, Pikkarainen, Karjaluoto, & Pahnila, 2004) findings showed otherwise.
In addition, in paraneoplastic pemphigus, autoantibodies against desmoglein 3 mainly belong to the IgG1 and IgG2 subclasses suggesting that the IgG subclass per se is not a direct determinant of the antibodies' pathogenic potential in pemphigus [ 24].
Our BCM calculating method has been developed from the Cohn's model which expresses the BCM as the subtraction of extracellular solids and extracellular fluids from FFM; as a result ICW is not a direct determinant of BCM in our model [ 12].
Left ventricular filling pressure is a direct hemodynamic determinant of left ventricular strain and of systemic hypotension.
