Because neutrality at synonymous sites is disputed [ 56], distance in a subset of synonymous sites known as 4-fold degenerate (μ4D) sites (i.e. sites where a change to any of the four nucleotides will not alter the amino acid during translation) stands as a better proxy to estimate the mutation rate.
This probably reflects the lack of level in detail of currently available metabolic databases to resolve the key processes by which organisms impact the gut epithelium and that taxonomy serves as a better proxy to functional role.
These AGE indicators can therefore be adjusted for changes in norovirus seasonality (figure 3) 35 to give a better proxy of the contribution of rotavirus to overall AGE causes and the relative impact of rotavirus vaccination.
To get a better proxy for the diversity of the Google Fiber cities, we compared each city's white population figure with the state average.
Now take the time machine forward four years to 2008, the election which made it clear that the Reagan coalition was well and try finished: John McCain won 46 percent of the vote overall, just 49 percent of the $100,000-plus demographic … and just 46 percent of the $200,000-plus demographic, which thanks to inflation is probably a better proxy for making comparisons to the rich of 1988.
If the observed pattern of knee ROA is linked to occupation, we would need to identify the job held for the longest time (main job) as a better proxy of the cumulative effect of lifetime occupational exposures (the period of exposure for this cohort would date back to approximately 1924 for some individuals).
In this paper, we present a revised version of Chae's original method by adopting a better proxy for the flux density of magnetic helicity that was proposed by [Pariat, E., Démoulin, P., Berger, M.A., 2005. Photospheric flux density of magnetic helicity. Astronomy and Astrophysics 439, 1191 1203].
Although Nosé et al. (2009) used the F10.7 index to measure the long-term variations of solar activity, we adopt the Mg II index, because it is a better proxy for the solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) or the far ultraviolet (FUV) irradiance that directly affects the ionospheric ion outflow.
Verbal self evaluation by the subjects may be a better proxy than the behavioral ones available in animals.
