Regardless of whether mean, median or maximum concentration was applied as a criterion, the concentrations of the six elements were found according to the following order: Fe>Zn>Mn>Pb>As>Cd.
In addition, although plasma concentration was not used as a selection criterion, the wide concentration range (three orders of magnitude) of the six normalizing proteins was likely beneficial [ 20].
Using as criterion the oestradiol concentration of the 6th sample, the statistical model predicted all lambs that did not belong to group L1 and three of four lambs that belonged to group L1.
Although here, as in the case of E. coli, the toxic ranking of the surfactants examined, using the concentration criterion mentioned above, is C10TAB≈C12TAB>C14TAB>DDPS>SDS>Triton X-100, there are subtle differences that merit attention: C. albicans was more susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of SDS and DDPS than was E. coli.
Our inclusion criteria are justified by the concentration on chemotherapy schedules still in use.
As a binary cutoff for the KM analysis, we used the criteria for elevation that the concentration of events per milliliter of blood sample volume should have a CV of at least 5% and 100 or more events per milliliter of blood sample volume for the CD45 − CK + EpCAM − population.
A protein was typically either soluble by the criterion [final concentration]/[initial concentration] > 0.8 or poorly soluble with obvious precipitation.
Once criteria values were determined, observations from within the reference period were tested against the criteria with a binomial test to ensure the data within the reference period did not exceed the criteria concentration or frequency.
The results of the criteria pollutants concentration at TUL showed that during the study period, most of the pollutants were found to be below the standards, except for PM10 and SO2 that were above the limits twice and O3 once in each case.
Since only one single point (LC50) for the concentration effect function was considered under both criteria, Demetrio et al. (2014) proposed to accept the criteria as valid only when the concentration effect lines were parallel.
