Art, she continues, extends "our contact with our fellow-men beyond the bounds of our personal lot".
To extend the usefulness of contact prediction, we have designed a new meta-predictor (MetaPSICOV) which combines three distinct approaches for inferring covariation signals from multiple sequence alignments, considers a broad range of other sequence-derived features and, uniquely, a range of metrics which describe both the local and global quality of the input multiple sequence alignment.
The performance of many drugs can be extensively enhanced by the use of bioadhesive polymers such as hydrogels that extend the contact time of the drugs with these tissues [ 15, 16].
However, under the same impact cycles, energy absorption and contact time increased with the extending of soaking time, but the peak contact force decrease.
Firstly, we have extended the treatment of contact networks to include the realistic assumption of clustering, which has an extremely important impact on the efficacy of contact tracing.
However, for resistant gram-negative bacteria of epidemiologic importance (e.g., carbapenemase-producing organisms), extending the duration of contact precautions until discharge may be warranted.
Performing adsorption with plasma, rather than with blood, avoids coagulation issues, platelet aggregation, and hemolysis and allows the use of a low flow rate, extending the time of contact between the inflammatory mediators and the sorbent and consequently maximizing their adsorption.
We used Carbopol 934©, instead of a simple physiological solution, to increase the viscosity of the vehicle, extending the contact time of the protein with the ocular surface and "trapping" the rMnSOD aqueous solution in the network of polymer.
This criticism can be extended of course to other forms of online communities, such as Facebook, where contact-less friendships are reduced to pokes, LOLs, and vacuous innuendos.
