The empirical model was shown to be consistent with exponential distribution of active centers characteristic of heterogeneous surfaces.
The presence of the N-induced non-radiative centers (characteristic in N-diluted alloys) [16] together with the higher compositional inhomogeneities is a possible explanation for the degradation of the PL. Figure 3 HRTEM images and strain maps of CLs.
While the murine model replicates many facets of the human immune response [ 9], mice do not show well-formed granulomas and lack the caseous, necrotic centers characteristic of human infection [ 10].
The sources of such heterogeneity in this meta-analysis likely include within-center characteristics such as smoking status, alcohol drinking, and physical activity levels that might moderate treatment-related weight loss effects.
We used meta-analysis to combine the estimates of effect across centers (~ 3 million births) and used meta-regression to evaluate the influence of center characteristics and exposure assessment methods on between-center heterogeneity in reported effect estimates.
Rate of proven versus suspected invasive candidiasis enrolled by center according to center characteristics.
For example, a number of works have studied green TE approaches that consider application and data center characteristics; e.g., [17 20].
Substantial variability in the use of drug-eluting stents at the clinical center level was observed-even after accounting for differences in patient and clinical center characteristics.
The effects of patient, donor, and transplant center characteristics on the relative survival benefit of transplantation were examined.Overall, 73.8% of transplant recipients were predicted to achieve a 2-year survival benefit with lung transplantation.
