BPD and MD patients shared sleep-continuity characteristics, but sleep architecture differentiated the two groups.
Welch's t-tests were used for continuous characteristics, chi-squared tests with continuity correction for categorical characteristics, and the Armitage trend test for ordinal categorical characteristics.
However, we used multivariable regression to explore further the relationship between continuity, sociodemographic characteristics and SCNS needs for care at baseline and outcome in participants in trial arms 2 and 3. Twenty-nine clinics were observed (six breast, 13 lung and 10 colorectal oncology outpatient clinics).
Data were analyzed using geostatistics (variograms and cross-variograms) in order to describe and quantify the spatial continuity of macrofauna characteristics and their relation to soil properties.
The key role of GPs in the EISS surveillance system ensures a high level of continuity and scrutiny, characteristics that are questionable in GIS.
The following variables were analyzed: granulometry, soil air intrinsic permeability (Kair), pore continuity, soil-water characteristic curve and average pore length.
Therefore, by the continuity theorem for characteristic functions (see, Feller [6], p.508), the ergodic distribution function of the process W λ ( t ) weakly converges to the limit distribution function G ( x ) ≡ 1 Γ ( 1 + ( 1 / α ) ) ∫ 0 x exp ( − u α ) d u as λ → 0 uniformly for x > 0, i.e., lim λ → 0 Q W λ ( x ) = G ( x ) ≡ 1 Γ ( 1 + 1 / α ) ∫ 0 x exp ( − u α ) d u.
The interfacial characteristics of continuity and discontinuity satisfy the kinematic continuity conditions through the elastic-bonding layer.
Because the spatiotemporal continuity of ecologically important characteristics is regarded as important for conservation purposes (Stokland et al. 2002; Kouki et al. 2004) the ability to inventory and monitor aspen trees is essential for the management of conservation areas.
