Each transition intensity is modelled by a proportional intensities model with a shared frailty term as defined in (4): the baseline intensity corresponds to the one of a Weibull distribution, the random effects follow a Gamma distribution and two covariates are used.
IL-2 (R&D Systems) was added at 100 IU/ml to each well and un-stimulated cells were used to define CFSE intensity in undivided cells.
Thresholds used for estimation of different intensities of PA are determined from validation studies and are predominantly defined in terms of absolute intensity such as METs [ 6].
These relative weights within each level of hierarchy structure are regarded as local weights in this study and can be calculated as a method of pair-wise comparison using 9-point intensity defined in AHP theory mentioned in previous Sect.
Disease severity was defined in terms of treatment intensity, emergency room visits and absenteeism from work specifically attributable to diabetes.
Severity at the time of the survey was defined in terms of treatment intensity of diabetes, self-reported emergency room utilization specifically related to diabetes in the previous six months, and self-reported absenteeism from work specifically related to diabetes in the previous six months.
The primary outcome will be days to recovery, which is defined in two ways, pain intensity rated as 0 or 1 out of 10 on a 0-10 numeratingrating scale (NRS) for seven consecutive days or the first day the participant has a rating of 0 out of 10 on the 0-10 NRS.
The graphs show the surface area, volume, and nodal cdr2-GFP intensity (cdr2-GFP intensity measured as defined in Figure 2 figure supplement 3A ) in these selected cells.
The ability of light to modulate cortical activity and circadian rhythm is defined, in part, by the duration, intensity and wavelength of the lighted stimulus [ 17, 19].
This leads to largely inadequate PA intensity assessment in a large proportion of the elderly, who due to their declining maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) cannot reach the moderate/vigorous intensity as defined in absolute terms.
