To see whether there were defects associated with particular proteins that might explain the fertility defect, we used fluorescence microscopy to determine whether the sterility could be explained by a failure to produce continuous quantities of germ cells or whether loss of a type I prenyl protease function caused a spermatid elongation or individualization problem.
In this article, we present a dimensionless continuous quantity for objective assessment of TR, regardless of tumour type, clinical measures other than tumour response, and the mechanism of the effect of therapy on tumour: cytotoxic and/or cytostatic.
Russell was at first entangled in the study of "the contradictions in the relation of continuous quantity to number and the continuum" (cited in Moore 1995, p. 219), and he obtained his contradiction (May 1901) as a result of considering the antinomy arising with Cantor's theorem (see Russell 1903, footnote 7, par. 344; par. 100, p. 101).
Transcript level is, however, a continuous quantity and none of the available models is satisfactory for a continuous-valued underlying signal.
Although mappability can be defined as a continuous quantity (the reciprocal of k-mer frequencies, for example, as in [ 23]), it is generally not very useful to know the degree to which a region is unmappable.
The first approach gives a direct sum estimate of the continuous quantity.
The Greeks divided the field of mathematics into arithmetic (the study of "multitude," or discrete quantity) and geometry (that of "magnitude," or continuous quantity) and considered both to have originated in practical activities.
A standard result on logit models is that we can represent the outcomes y ij as thresholded versions of a latent continuous quantity z ij (Holmes et al. 2006): y i j = { 1 if z i j ≥ 0, 0 if z i j < 0. z i j = α + β i + ε i j , where ε ij follows a standard logistic distribution.
Here we approximate the actually integer number of recruited endings by a continuous quantity.
Elsewhere (Metaphysics xi.4), where Aristotle builds an analogy with the science of being qua being, he seems to suggest that universal proofs of quantities (here too including numbers) concern continuous quantity (unlike the similar passage in Metaphysics iv.3).
