From numerical simulation results, it is shown that the output power of the designed gyrotron is greatly decreased by the reflection from AC2500H although it doesn't cause excitations of competing modes.
This may cause problems of competing risk where those with potential to develop dementia die of other diseases before cognitive decline is manifest.
We also computed the cumulative risk of a given cause of death taking into account other causes of death (competing risk analysis) and found similar estimates to the Kaplan-Meier ones because mortality rates were low, thus showing that competing risks are not an issue for the present analyses.
The example of last year's Senate result appears to have put an end to that, with an avalanche of new players causing the number of competing parties to more than double.
It can be considered as survival in the absence of other causes of death (competing mortality), which itself varies widely between population subgroups.
Although breast cancer incidence and mortality increase with age, after age 50 there are other causes of death (competing risks) that are acting simultaneously, and therefore breast cancer may have less impact on overall mortality.
Grover et al used data from the Lipid Research Clinics cohort and included a multivariate model for death from 'other causes' in addition to CHD and stroke and so took account of competing causes of death [ 12].
The 10-year Framingham CHD risk for an individual only gives a crude idea of the likely impact of treatment or smoking cessation on an individual's life as it does not take into account the impact of competing causes of death, in particular other significant causes of mortality related to smoking.
These effects are likely to be related to the underlying risk of competing causes of death; sudden (presumed arrhythmic) death, pump failure or other causes.
Mackenbach et al. have investigated this question in a number of statistical studies by comparing the magnitude of competing causes in different underlying mortality outcomes from the Dutch national cause-of-death register [ 46- 48].
