To examine activity patterns of individuals, we included day-type (weekday vs. weekend), season (May to October defined as warm season vs. November to April as cool season, according to the climate in California), the time variable (1st-6th wave), sex, and age as covariates in the model.
Trifecta achievement in partial nephrectomy (PN) is defined as the combination of warm ischemia time ≤20 min, negative surgical margins, and no surgical complications.
A priori, moderate heat was defined as the 90th percentile of warm-season AT, and extreme heat was defined as the 99th percentile of warm-season AT.
All analyses were restricted to the warm season defined as the period between May 15th and September 15th.
The warm period was defined as the period between 15 May and 15 October, as these are the half-months with average maximum temperatures greater than 20°C (Basagaña et al. 2011).
In this line, the paper uses econometric results that focus on shedding light on a consumer׳s warm glow motivational profile, where warm glow is defined as the good feeling that economic agents experience when contributing privately to the provision of public goods.
Furthermore, she proposed Tr value as a climatic index based on cold, transition, and warm groups defined as the following equation: mathrm{T}mathrm{r}=mathrm{X}mathrm{t}/left(mathrm{X}mathrm{t}+mathrm{X}mathrm{c}+mathrm{X}mathrm{w}right times 100.
So the positive tail, defined as the +2 sigma limit, is about 6C of warming.
The endurance time was defined as the duration of CET excluding the 2-min warm-up period.
CO2 equivalents are defined as the amount of CO2 that would have the same global warming effect for a given gas mixture.
