From the Raman spectra, and following the 503 cm−1 PSi band, the thickness of the Psi layers could be evaluated, being always in agreement with the SEM images.
A high proportion of women diagnosed with osteoporosis had been evaluated by densitometry, in agreement with national guidelines.
Although we did not directly evaluate the cost, in agreement with a previous study that evaluated a similar active HME (Humid-Heat) [ 8], the Performer should allow a reduction in daily sterile water consumption, avoidance of condensate in the ventilator circuit, a decrease in changes of ventilator circuits, and a reduction in nurses' workload.
The experimentally evaluated range values are in agreement with the theoretical range values derived from some computer codes.
Most of these analyses were performed after 72-h drug exposure, while the phosphorylation of EGFR, ERK1/2 and Akt was evaluated after 2 h, in agreement with previous studies showing that the dynamics of protein phosphorylation was optimally detected at early time points (Janmaat et al, 2006).
The analogy based on the generalized Lévêque equation (Martin, 2002) between mass and momentum transfer is evaluated and it is qualitatively in agreement with the results of Incera Garrido et al. (2008) on ceramic foams.
These lines of argument are the "hypotheses" of HBWoE, and they are articulated so that one can evaluate how well they are in agreement with all of the data, how well they would explain patterns in the data if they were true, what other observable consequences the invoked causal principles should have, and whether in fact these consequences are observed.
In each center, an infection prevention and control team ensured that appropriate infection prevention and management strategies were implemented, evaluated for effectiveness and modified it, in agreement with the national surveillance network coordinated by the RAISIN (Réseau d'Alerte d'Investigation et de Surveillance des Infections Nosocomiales).
The flow profile at large vessels evaluated by the MUSIC-OMAG was in agreement with typical flow characteristics.
Insulin resistance expressed by HOMA-IR is well in agreement with that evaluated directly by the euglycemic clamp method [ 15, 16], and is generally accepted as a valid method in epidemiological surveys [ 23].
