The 4-week treatment duration was designated because robust effects of acupuncture in stroke patients were generally observed within this period [ 9].
Women who used NSAIDs at least 8 days a month for 3 months or more were classified into two groups: those who used NSAIDs for less than 3 years' total duration were designated 'short-term users', while those who used NSAIDs for 3 years or longer were 'long-term users'.
To quantify the distribution of bouts, we calculated the complementary cumulative probability distribution of bouts, P(x≥a), where x is the variable representing the bout, and a is the designated duration length.
Interval production was assessed by asking subjects to generate an interval of a designated duration.
Cultures were maintained under these conditions for the duration of the designated time course.
They were then incubated with 293T cells for designated durations.
Experiments with the Chinese divination text the I Ching led to his landmark composition of 1952, 4'33", in which he sat at the piano and refrained from playing for the duration of the time designated by the title.
Through the power control of the macro BSs, their transmission is suspended in the designated time duration.
As a further control, three rumbles were isolated from the pre-stimulus phase of the same trial (duration = 8.3 sec), designated 'control rumbles'.
Figures 5a and 5b, bottom, show typical P1 and P2 currents and dV/dt values, respectively, with a P1 duration of 1000 ms. The peak amplitudes in response to P2 were normalized to the peak amplitudes at P1, plotted versus the duration of P1, and designated peak INa (P2/P1).
The duration of RFS was designated to the first clinical recurrence or death from any cause, unless the patient was recurrence-free at the time of last contact, in which case it was measured to the date of last contact.
