The calculation steps of this algorithm consist of determination of the statistical Hat matrix, sketching the Williams Plot, and calculation of the residuals of two selected correlations results.
Mechanical testing consisted of determination of Mechanical Detection Threshold (MDT), Vibration Detection Threshold (VDT), Mechanical Pain Threshold (MPT), Mechanical Pain Sensitivity (MPS), Wind-up Ratio (WUR) and Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT).
Baseline evaluation will consist of determination of the sum of the longest diameters of the target lesions, measured in millimeters.
Currently used diagnostic standards consist of determination of prostate specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage, and total Gleason grade.
The primary end points for the induction chemotherapy regimens consisted of determination of clinical and particularly pathological response rates, as reported previously (Belembaogo et al, 1992; Van Praagh et al, 1995, 2001; Chollet et al, 1997, 2000).
The experimental work consisted of determinations of thin layer drying-toasting curves of soaked soybeans in a fluidised-bed dryer at air temperatures between 100 and 160 °C, for 60 min, using an air velocity of 2.5 m/s.
According to recommendations of a consensus committee [ 14], the image analysis consisted of determinations of (a) flow: proportion of perfused vessels (PPV) and microvascular flow index (MFI); (b) density: total vascular density (TVD) and perfused vascular density (PVD); and (c) heterogeneity: MFI heterogeneity (Het MFI).
This consists of the determination of the degree of support for the assertion that the skull and the ante-mortem image belong to the same person.
The static elastoplastic characterization of metals consists of the determination, by way of experimental tensile tests, of the curve expressing the equivalent von Mises stress as a function of the equivalent plastic strain for each given material.
