Øien et al., (2012) investigated the effect of long-term financing on the composition of long-term services at municipality level in Norway.
For the assessment of the environmental compatibility of waste materials which are usually heterogeneous materials with variable composition and unknown origin extensive investigations (consisting of long term characterization, compliance and on site verification tests) are necessary.
Since the effects of IGF-I may be associated to changes in body composition and bone mineral content (BMC) in cirrhotic patients, we investigated the relations between changes in the IGF-system and body composition and the effects of long-term alpha- and beta‐blockade.
Epidemiologic and health impact assessments of PM2.5 composition have been impeded by the paucity of long-term measurements of PM2.5 composition.
1226) was approximately 4 months pregnant when recruited but was retained because our previous investigations of people from other countries showed that, in all cases, their isotopic compositions were different from that of long-term Australians.
This situation provided the rationale for the analysis of the blood-lipid profile, widely used for monitoring cardiovascular disease risk, and fasting glucose as an early indicator of insulin resistance, which were collected as a safety component of the investigation of the effects of diet composition and weight loss on biomarkers of long-term survival in breast-cancer patients after treatment.
Figure 3 shows the global satellite-model estimate of long-term mean PM2.5 composition where the filled circles represent the location and value of the in situ observations used to evaluate the data set outside of North America.
Our research has shown that short-term plant composition monitoring is a necessary but insufficient predictor of long-term restoration success.
Nevertheless, this type of disturbance still changes the floristic composition in the long term (>30 years).
This study illustrates the importance of long-term evaluation of similar cement compositions to be able to predict the material's physical changes over a relevant time frame.
Hence, this study shows the importance of long-term evaluation of similar cement compositions in order to be able to predict their appropriate use as bone repair materials.
