However, our analyses were limited by lack of data on pack-years of smoking [ 28].
The fluid mechanical and mass transfer empirical equations were developed according to the experimental data of PACK-13C.
The friction factor for multi-particle systems so computed agreed with the experimental data of packed and distended beds.
Data on pack-years of smoking (product of years of smoking and packs of cigarettes per day), parity, total duration of breastfeeding (not available in the WHS), age at menarche, menopausal status and postmenopausal hormone use were selected from the questionnaire cycle prior to the date of RA diagnosis (or index date in control individuals).
Because of missing data on pack-years (22% of the adults), in our main analyses we adjusted for smoking status only and in sensitivity analyses we examined the effect of adjusting for pack-years in those with these data.
The new model is able to adequately describe the permeability data of proppant packs confined by rock core slices.
The data of the packed cell volume, the mean corpuscular volume, the cholesterol and triglyceride concentration are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (range).
Comparison over the model parameters obtained in fixed bed bubble columns at low fluid velocity shows the results of this study to be comparable with previous data of mesh wire packing.
Essentially there are two key components of the technology where standards battles and marketing wars obfuscate the issues: a series of flavors of DSL, each with its own characteristics; and a pair of data packing techniques (modulation schemes) that get the bits packed into the wire.
The computational and communication gain come from the effective use of data packing, eliminating the need for an expensive secure comparison protocol in [9] and involving helper users in the computations.
The repulsive part of the equation of state for confined fluids was modeled based on literature data for the packing of hard spheres in cylinders.
