Subjects who had ≥ 4 case defining symptoms and exceeded the Symptom Inventory cut-off score, and met CFS cut-off scores on the SF-36 and the MFI-20, were considered to have CFS (n = 113 participants).
In the present study we wished to examine these questions using corpus analyses (cf. Cutting, DeLong & Nothelfer, 2010).
Therefore, in the parameter estimation step of the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm an ad hoc approach (cf. the "cut" function in WinBUGS User Manual [ 34]) was adopted, where the information flow from the non-participants was discarded, i.e., the likelihood function (2) was calculated as a product over the participants only.
Yet, the extensive veto powers enjoyed by works councils in non-wage areas give them sufficient bargaining leverage to pressure management not to cut wages (cf. Addison et al.[2001]).[2001]
The incidence of postoperative biliary leakage and hemorrhage is low, but these factors remain important in liver surgery, and this study's objective was to explore the efficacy of fibrin sealant (FS) with polyglycolic acid (PGA) vs fibrinogen-based collagen fleece (CF) at the liver cut surface.
Based on this, fuzzy set arithmetic can be defined in terms of their α-cuts (cf. Buckley and Eslami 2002).
Since then, two natural choices have been considered, namely the upper part of SG cut by a horizontal line (cf. [1, 2]) and half Sierpinski gasket constructed by cutting SG with a vertical line in the middle (cf. [3]).
The Hilbert envelopes were low-pass filtered with a fifth-order Butterworth filter (cf. (3)) with cut-off frequency at 150 Hz and down-sampled to 400 Hz.
Proj x, z (P CF F ) ⊈ Proj x, z (P CF R ) : Consider Fig. 5, where υ LP (CF R ) = 28 > 18 = υ LP (CF F ). □ Formulation GSEC (i.e., CUT F, MCF F ) is strictly stronger than formulation MTZ, i.e. Proj x, z (P MCF F ) ⊆ Proj x, z (P MTZ ) and there exist instances for which the strict inequality holds.
As population counts are not available annually we interpolated the population data based on piecewise linear regression with cut points at 1920 , 1970 and 1996, cf. Figure 1.
For several following analyses (cf. below) sequences with incompatible nucleotide pairs were cut into recombination free blocks.
