On the day of testing, animals were habituated to the testing apparatus for 10 min prior to determination of baseline nociceptive threshold.
Following determination of baseline values, observers trained for 7 days, 1000 form discrimination responses with error feedback per day in a staircase procedure of the blur parameter.
In practice, however, determination of baseline concentrations is difficult because the nature and magnitude of such local influence depend on the mountain topography, local wind patterns, and the characteristics of local emission sources.
To assess carbon monoxide-hemoglobin (CO-Hb) association kinetics, mice were initially ventilated with air, a blood sample removed for determination of baseline carboxyhemoglobin % (COHb), and then the inspired gas was switched to 500 ppm CO.
The mean signal intensity of unstimulated chondrocytes is listed for the determination of baseline expression.
One sample from each tooth was used for the determination of baseline fluoride content of the respective tooth.
Pre-pandemic sera from the archives, collected during January 2005 to March 2009, were assayed for the determination of baseline seropositivity.
A more suitable determination of baseline may consist of two measurements at least two weeks but not more than two months apart.
For the present analyses, we excluded 708 participants with prevalent diabetes, and 205 with missing data for determination of baseline or incident diabetes status, leaving 3,802 eligible individuals.
Subjects received treatment with Juvéderm™ Voluma™ to the malar area, based on the investigators' determination of baseline severity and aesthetic goals.
