Film condensation was simulated by applying a user defined function (UDF) added to the commercial CFD package.
The readmissions categories were defined sequentially by applying a limited set of rules to the ICD-10 diagnostic codes in the index admission readmission pair and to patterns of readmission over time.
Perioperative morbidity and recovery were captured by applying a lower QoL for a defined period of time after each surgical intervention (longer for revision than primary procedures).
Third, a stream network is defined by applying a threshold to the flow accumulation layer.
The ground shaking for other site conditions is obtained by applying a nonlinear soil-amplification factor defined in terms of the average shear-wave velocity in the top 30 m of the soil profile, consistent with the methodology used in the current US and proposed Taiwan building codes.
Extended haplotypes of unrelated donors and recipients were allusively defined by applying a mapping approach using the physical linkage of HLA-A, -B and -DRB1.
For each population, multi copy regions (MCRs) were defined by applying a threshold of a minimum of 6 consecutive 1 kilobase (Kb) bins that have an average CN higher than 2.5.
Moderate and severe wasting were defined by applying a weight-for-height z-score cut-off below -2 and -3, respectively, for infants and PSAC and for combined sexes [ 49].
This is probably because of different definitions of pre-eclampsia in the two cohorts; in ALSPAC pre-eclampsia was defined by applying a standard definition to all measurements of blood pressure and proteinuria in pregnancy whereas in SWS a record of a clinical diagnosis of pre-eclampsia during pregnancy was used.
The mode of action of Herpotherm® is based on a local and time-limited thermal stress of a defined skin area, by applying a microprocessor controlled temperature of 51°C 53°C for 4 seconds.
