According to this hypothesis, consecutive Plasmodium infections may select for mosquitoes with a lower constitutive consumption of resources because of their ability to more efficiently relocate resources for immune response.
Case 1. x 0 ⪯ T x 0. By the hypothesis (1), consecutive terms of the sequence { T n x 0 } are comparable.
According to this hypothesis, two consecutive infections by different dengue serotypes could favor dengue hemorrhagic fever (Kliks et al., 1988 , 1989.
Some countries (i.e., Greece, Spain, Russia, Israel, Hungary, and Romania) were affected by the virus circulation for several consecutive years, supporting the hypothesis of a possible local endemisation of the infection.
A survey on lung fiber burden in a series of consecutive necropsies supports the hypothesis that important pollution from amphiboles was present in Casale (Magnani et al. 1998).
According to our empirical modeling (see " Materials and methods" and Fig. 3), an alternative hypothesis (three consecutive genes will not cluster together as a result of random sampling of 30 genes out of 4,000 genes in the genome) has a p value less than 0.0015.
Hence, authors should have calculated the sample size based on the published literature or hypothesis and, instead of consecutive clients, systematic random sampling (e.g., every fifth VCT client) should have been adopted.
Basing our arguments on the complexity theory, we use three consecutive waves of the German part of the Community Innovation Survey to test our hypotheses.
To test our hypothesis, we retrospectively analyzed 116 consecutive patients with stage 3 or 4 acute GVHD of the gastrointestinal tract to characterize their clinical course and to identify risk factors for mortality.
In order to enhance the robustness and accuracy of this single image-based hypothesis, we extend this estimation with a new homography-based procedure applied to the various hypotheses obtained along the sequence of consecutive images.
