Most suffering is characterized by loss -- whether in divorce or death, estrangement, loss of a home, of a job, of identity or respect, of reason or hope or meaning.
Interactions with the legal system were characterized by questions about whether the assault qualified as rape, their role in the assault, and whether they deserved the assistance the legal system could provide.
Smoking behavior was characterized by asking respondents whether they currently used tobacco products; thus, respondents were classified as current smokers (including daily or less frequent smoking) and non-smokers.
In skeletal muscle diseases, whether characterized by necrotic degeneration or atrophic wasting, there is a homeostatic imbalance towards muscle loss and away from muscle regeneration.
Evoked activity during the third time period was also characterized by its dependence on whether the warning cue was target or non-target in nature.
All MRSA isolates testing positive for at least 1 of the 3 (PVL, ACME, or spa type motif MBQBLO) were further characterized by PFGE to determine whether any were the USA300 MRSA strain.
Evoked activity during the second time period was characterized by its dependence on whether the warning cue was target (circle) or non-target (square/triangle) in nature, regardless of whether the patient was engaged in the standard motor or counting task, and regardless of treatment state.
Here we identify MYBL2, which encodes a transcription factor with functions in checkpoint control of the G2 cell cycle phase, as a key tumor suppressor gene in over one half of all MDS cases, whether characterized by a 20q deletion or a normal karyotype.
Results: In multivariate analyses, high prenatal PAH exposure, whether characterized by personal air monitoring (greater than the median of 2.27 ng/m) or maternal and cord adducts (detectable or higher), was positively associated with symptoms of Anxious/Depressed and Attention Problems (p ≤ 0.05).
In this study we investigate key aspects of the water management strategies within the genus Callitris to determine whether the genus can be characterized by a single conservative type, or whether there is evidence of functional plasticity that enables different species to adopt different strategies according to rainfall abundance.
