bOne example of several intermediate questions.
We think of the categorical response variable as representing an underlying, latent, scale (c.f. the 'Bones' example in [38]) indicative of the severity of the tumour.
Bone is an example of one such material, as the strengths of both of its components compensate for the weaknesses of each, i.e., HAp imparts high elastic modulus and compressive strength to the bone, whereas collagen yields toughness, elasticity and moderate tensile strength to it.
Bone, as an example of an adaptive tissue, can readily adapt to new functional challenges by either increasing bone mass in response to increased demand, or by reducing bone mass in response to disuse.
Bone metastases are the most common example of bone malignancies and they largely exceed in number primary tumors of the skeleton.
Natalie Goldberg, author of "Writing Down the Bones," (another great example of memoir/self-help) inspired me.
Local resorption of alveolar bone in periodontal disease is a good example of local bone loss; another clinically important example is bone erosion in inflammatory arthritis.
We will now hear from Dr. Ernest A. Codman, of Boston, Chairman of the Committee on Registry of Bone Sarcoma, American College of Surgeons, on The Registry of Bone Sarcoma as an Example of the End-Result Idea in Hospital Organization.
This biographical sketch on Ernest Amory Codman corresponds to the historic text, The Classic: The Registry of Bone Sarcomas as an Example of the End-Result Idea in Hospital Organization, available at DOI 10.1007/s11999-009-1048-7 and The Classic: Registry of Bone Sarcoma: Part I. Twenty-Five CrI. Twenty-Fiveablishing the Diagnosis of OsteogeniCriteriaa.
The Chinese fossils "have a very particular type of fracture pattern, a classic example of bone failure associated with extreme heat," she notes.
