The aim of islet transplantation is to achieve a total of ≥10,000 islet equivalents (IEQ /kg recipient weight within 12 months of the first transplant, including the routine use of islets from donation after cardiac death (DCD).
This model is equivalent to human recipients with scarred, vascularized corneas for example after ocular trauma.
Furthermore, Theorem 2 shows that instead of we can maximize the secrecy capacity by taking an input covariance matrix that "disregards" subchannels for which the eavesdropper has an advantage over the legitimate recipient (or is equivalent to the legitimate recipient).
A free conjunctival autograft of a size equivalent to the recipient bed was harvested from the superotemporal bulbar area with attentive dissection under topical anesthesia to avoid inclusion of any Tenon's tissue.
This characterization is absolutely not equivalent to saying, "welfare recipients are lazy" or any other similarly crass generalization.
Large oocyte donor database retrospective studies [ 17] and a number of methodologically more appropriate randomized clinical trials [ 21– 23] found no significant differences in the number of retrieved oocytes (total and mature), fertilization rates, embryo quality, and pregnancy rates, indicating that GnRHa trigger and hCG trigger provided equivalent outcomes in the recipients.
Eex inhibits transfer of a plasmid to a recipient cell harbouring the same element [ 24], and thus it is equivalent to a conjugation recipient mutant.
The degree of chimerism was equivalent in the two recipient strains, therefore previous reports describing the competitive advantage of NOD hematopoetic stem cells in allogeneic recipients are not relevant in this case [ 15].
This is lower than, e.g. the 76% of mean per-adult-equivalent labour income that recipients in Bando et al. (2016)'s study receive.
Using the Abra platform, any "teller" can accept paper currency, charge a discretionary fee (part of which is split with Abra) and then transfer full funds to a corresponding "teller" across borders, who receives the funds and hands the paper equivalent to their end-recipient.
