Specifically, of the bont/B plasmids identified for 32 C. botulinum strains, 24 were greater than 200 kb, and the remaining 8 ranged from approximately ∼55 kb to ∼170 kb: assuming that the C. botulinum chromosome is about 3.9 Mb [9], such plasmids would constitute a variable proportion (from 0.1% to 6%) of the genomes of the strains harboring them.
Each submission constituted a variable number of milk samples from one farm, and samples from the same farm could have been submitted more than once.
In an effort of creating a stable and objective system of evaluation of the level of sedation, we used various methods, the known scales and, recently the Bispectral Index (BIS) which constitutes a variable modification, a variant of the EEG.
To obtain the effects of age, period and cohort on breast cancer incidence, models were fitted on the assumption that the number of cases constituted a variable with a Poisson distribution.
The question "Please choose which option best describes your attitude as to whether you follow your physician's suggestions faithfully?" was used to constitute a variable of adherence to doctor's suggestions.
Supermodular games have been applied in multiple research works in the literature, which mainly study the resource allocation problem in wireless networks under the assumption that there is only one type of resources to be allocated among the users (especially user's transmission power), thus constituting a single-variable optimization problem.
However, the categorization of patients with ROC as platinum-resistant or platinum-sensitive, with a PFI of < 6 months and≥ 6 months, respectively, did not adequately reflect the disease prognosis because PFI constitutes a continuous variable rather than a dichotomized variable at 6 months [7].
This genetic unit is termed RCCX module (RP-C4-CYP21-TNX) and constitutes a highly variable stretch of DNA of approximately 30 kb [22] (Figure 1).
The IFNW, which are considered to have arisen from the IFNA at least 129 MYA [ 16, 30], constitute a particularly variable grouping.
In contrast, a clinical marker would constitute a physical variable (sign or symptom), or a clinical judgment or outcome measurement, that emerges as a sequel of the underlying disease process.
