During the next several years, by refining their technique and reducing their target temperature, the Pittsburgh group gradually managed to extend the interval between death and resuscitation to three hours.
Therefore, we assume further on that β ≠ 0. We extend the interval [0, N + 1]ℤ by the point k = -1 to get an equivalent eigenvalue problem on the interval [-1, N + 1]ℤ with the Dirichlet endpoints x-1 = 0 = xN+1.
Furthermore, miss-scanned samples will extend the interval between two successive observations, which decreases the performance of the positioning algorithms based on time series, for instance, hidden Markov model.
The main idea is twofold: (1) whenever a buffered data page is inserted into the buffer manager, if its predecessor interval or successor interval exists, the inserted data page will extend the interval to a new longer interval and (2) whenever an interval is updated, the longest intervals on the path percolated from the root down to the interval itself will be updated.
In particular, patients worried that appointment cancellations could extend the interval between tests beyond what was recommended by the clinician, therefore leaving them exposed to undetected disease progression.
This technique may be better reserved for use in patients considered to have 'high surgical risk' or as an interim measure to extend the interval before surgery.
Take readings frequently (e.g. every 1-2 minutes) at the beginning of the test, but extend the interval between readings as the time goes on (e.g. every 20-30 minutes).
However, if tick-borne diseases complicate the picture and a single treatment has to suffice to control both ticks and tsetse, then it may not be possible, as discussed earlier, to extend the interval by very much longer.
