The reason for selecting this particular model is that it incorporates both traffic and road geometry parameters besides terrain characteristics.
They show that the membrane distillation performance is highly dependent on the design of membrane module, the specific separation being performed and the operating conditions (besides membrane characteristics).
Other factors besides personal characteristics at baseline may also influence relapse, such as important life events, treatment received and social stability factors.
Another limitation of our results is the measurement of overall survival in our series as this could be affected by several variables besides tumor characteristics.
It has been shown that besides patient characteristics, such as age and co-morbidities, GP and practice characteristics, including the number of GPs in the practices and the number of patients seen by the GP influence screening behaviour [ 17, 35– 35].
Since besides individual characteristics, health service-related characteristics can influence the outcomes of this kind of intervention, both were collected and analysed as independent variables in a hierarchized model.
The comprehensive information collected in The NOWAC Study enables us to assess individual's lifestyle before diagnosis besides tumour characteristics as potential confounding factors of socioeconomic variations in cancer survival.
Simulation outcomes confirm the strong coupling between core and SG, besides showing the characteristic time constants of the various component responses.
Clay minerals share another characteristic besides particle size: they form as low-temperature alteration products of igneous and high-temperature metamorphic minerals in the presence of liquid water.
While it is possible that health worker age might be a proxy for another unmeasured characteristic besides experience, several plausible explanations exist for this finding.
