Here, the so-called piecewise Lyapunov function means that Lyapunov function on control time intervals differs from the one on free time intervals.
Disease-free time interval between primary treatment and recurrence ranged from 1 to 17 years (mean 7.5 years).
Epidemiological data show that temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common type of partial seizures in adults, and the main features of TLE are localization of epileptic foci in the limbic system, a seizure-free time interval following the precipitating injury, and the presence of hippocampal sclerosis leading to reorganization of neuronal networks [ 2– 7].
[ 1] Referral to a pre-dialysis clinic is associated with many desirable outcomes including longer dialysis-free time intervals, [ 2] enhanced employment opportunities, [ 3] better patient education, [ 4, 5] and greater participation in the selection of dialysis modality.
When (omega ( t ) = 0), the continuous-time SMJS (8) is said to be impulse-free in time interval ([0,T]), if (deg ( {det ( {sE - tilde{A}} )} ) = operatorname{rank} ( E )) for all (t in [ {0,T} ]).
To decide which PSMC settings would be most appropriate for each species, we ran several pilot runs with different combinations of three PSMC arguments: number of free atomic time intervals (–p option), upper limit of time to most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) (–t option), and initial value of r = θ/ρ (–r option).
Recent findings on the considerable effects of persistent luminescence (PL) decay on ML phenomena (Rahimi MR, Yun GJ, Doll GL, Choi JS. Opt Lett 2013 38 193235) have motivated the incorporation of critical factors (i.e. strain rate, stress-free PL decay time interval, photoexcitation time, instantaneous PL decay rate, etc).
Since, since, for any sufficiently large residence interval such that (i.e., for a sufficiently large time interval free of switches and impulses previous to the next switch after each switch to the stability matrix has happened), then the associated map for this switching is asymptotically strictly contractive.
During the follow-up period, 2 of these patients had persistent disease (no remission), 1 had recurrent disease (relapse after remission) and the remaining 33 were disease free during the defined time interval of 5 years.
The local or regional recurrence free time was defined as the time interval from the surgery date to the local or regional recurrence date, death date or last follow-up date, whichever occurred first.
Disease-free survival was the time interval from the date of surgery to date of recurrence or last follow-up.
