A decrease in the jet-to-plate distance resulted in a critical decrease of the impactor's cut-off size (d50): from 2.5μm to about 1μm.
Moreover, the accuracy of the pattern, in terms of both shape and 3D positions of the targets, becomes critical decreasing the size of the pattern.
In this case, the complete atrioventricular block induced a critical decrease of the left ventricular ejection, which resulted in the further left ventricle distension, which might trigger the thrombosis (Fig. 6).
The sensitivity was comparable for nonsmoothed and slightly smoothed (4 mm kernel width) data; however, increasing the smoothing kernel width from 4 to 8 mm resulted in a critical decrease (∼50%) in sensitivity.
Based on the WLF relationship, the "strength" parameter: S= dC2C1−d was defined, where d is the critical decrease of τ (from 100 to 0.01 s) on the logarithmic scale, C1 and C2 – the "non-universal" constants in WLF equation.
In addition, critical decrease of PU.1 expression is sufficient to cause acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and lymphomas in mice.
However, if an inhibition of complex 1 reduces this reserve, a critical decrease in CP performance can result.
F-actin organization was observed in mature osteoblasts, and a critical decrease in the percentage of stress fiber compared to osteoblast precursors was observed (Fig. 3A,B).
A marked increase in ICP and critical decrease in CPP has been previously described in TBI and SAH patients during neurologic wake up trials [ 8].
In fact, a critical decrease in left ventricular filling, due to the decreased venous return, induce a sympathetic activation mediated by cardiopulmonary baroreceptor [ 19], and the sympathetic activations is also influenced by the hydration status [ 15].
