The mean (median) interval between swab collection among newborn participants was 7.04 days (7 days); the mean (median) interval used to estimate acquisition was 9.2 days (7 days).
We estimated land acquisition and construction costs could be $450 million and assumed another $200 million should be added to the endowment.
To study whether current carriage affected pneumococcus acquisition, we estimated acquisition rates separately for noncarriers (e.g., rate α; see Figure 1) and carriers (rate θα α).
Instead of using averages drawn across the entire customer base, for example, a more subtle analysis would partition the base into behaviorally and attitudinally homogeneous groups that spend at different levels, and it would estimate the shape of acquisition and retention curves for each group.
In doing so, we took into account the amount of winter habitat available for conservation, its rate of loss, the cost of land acquisition, and estimates of redstart density across the winter range (Table 1).
We estimated that, excluding image acquisition and confocal data import to a datasheet file, 30 minutes were required for manual peak counting in a set of 50 nuclei.
The estimated receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, as shown in Figure 6, are estimated by the conventional scalar acquisition and the joint acquisition combining 4, 8, 12, and 16 satellites, respectively.
The cost of the new 40,800-square-foot project is estimated at $29 million — including land acquisition — and was designed in an abstract, mission-traditional style by senior designer Rick D'amato from the design firm LPA Inc.
Finally, we estimated component payments per blood acquisition and administration unit.
Cases were georeferenced to the centroid of the likely country of acquisition, and rate estimates were based on the total number of ill returned travelers from that country who visited GeoSentinel sites.
