The area under the curve (AUC) of anti-CS responses over time was estimated over the vaccination period to month 7 (and7) and over the whole study duration to month 19 (AUC19), by trapezoidal rule using the consecutive blood samples.
This variable was calculated following the standard method, namely by using the first 60 consecutive beats (STV60) 6, 46, 47 and also by using the total number of beats in the whole 5-minute recording (STVT).
By using the motion information between the consecutive frames, the irregular areas of the deformable object can be segmented more accurately by energy function optimization with boundary convergence.
The algorithm in the second stage try to improve the solution evaluated at the first stage by using the time between two consecutive transportation events.
The algorithm in the second stage is a specialized Hybrid Genetic Algorithm that attempts to improve the solution evaluated at the first stage by using the time between two consecutive transportation events.
Sputum smear examination was performed at the TB diagnostic centers on 2 sputum specimens from each patient, collected during 2 consecutive days, by using the hot Ziehl-Neelsen method.
PPV analysis was performed on the arterial pressure curve of 20 consecutive heart beats by using the following algorithm (20): PPV = 100 × (Ppmax - Ppmin)/((Ppmax + Ppmin)/2).
The therapeutic potency of the fusion proteins was tested in two consecutive sets of experiments by using the murine AIA arthritis model in C57BL/6 mice.
Consecutive biosorption desorption cycles were repeated thrice by using the same sorbents.
