Other approaches to select "personalized PEEP" are based on its effect on respiratory mechanics, focusing on plateau pressure [4], on stress index [5] or on transpulmonary pressure [6, 7].
Perhaps clinicians focused on plateau pressures rather than on tidal volumes [ 30] since it still remains unclear which should be limited to avoid ventilator-induced lung injury [ 31].
In order to focus on the plateau performance of bees that had become familiar with the choices being offered, after the initial sampling and exploration phase, we excluded the first 800 visits from the analysis of marked bumblebee data.
This property, together with the previously noted large errors in the rate constants for fast (k1) and intermediate (k2) exchange rate constants in Bs-DHFR, led us to focus on the plateau regions of the time courses, which reflect the very slow, effectively nonexchanging, amide hydrogens (k3 < 0.002 min–1) on the time scale of the experiments (300 min).
By conducting asymptotics, with focusing on a plateau stage in which particle temperature keeps its initial value, an analytical expression has been obtained for the lower limit of the particle diameter, as functions of the pressure ratio, oxygen mass-fraction, and/or initial temperature.
In the current paper, we again focused on pseudo-plateau bursting in a pituitary lactotroph model, but now with emphasis on a BK-type K+ current.
Undue focus on the air temperature plateau is cretinous for several more reasons.
We conducted a phylogenetic analysis to determine genetic relatedness of H5N1 viruses isolated from wild birds and poultry with a focus on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Through the last 130 ka or so, the main body of the Loess Plateau has been covered by an Artemisia-dominated grassland vegetation, suggesting that future rehabilitation of the landscape that aims for soil water preservation on the Loess Plateau should focus on the planting of herbs.
But I would also like to recommend the Museum of Northern Arizona, which focuses on the Colorado Plateau and has a very fine collection of American Indian art.
