The evidence of higher cross sectional mean waiting times for those patients was associated to patient initiated admission postponements, due to personal reasons unrelated to the cause of their presence in the list (i.e. other interfering therapies or illnesses).
Patients with the highest cross-sectional areas measured by CMR tend to have recurrent AF after ablation independently of the type of AF and LA size.
Patients with large vertical craniofacial height had a significantly higher cross-sectional area both in the maxilla and in the mandible.
Lower height to length ratio results in lower adhesion requirement, while higher cross-sectional area also results in lower adhesion requirement.
Because of the high cross-sectional area for flow and shallow depth of the catalyst bed in these reactors, low reactor pressure gradients are maintained that favors the yield and selectivity for styrene formation.
This is most likely due to the reason that the B-doped samples contain, on average, smaller Si NCs (average NC sizes measured by XRD (Figure 2): B-doped = 3.5 nm, P2O5-doped = 5 nm, undoped = 4.3 nm), which results in a higher cross-sectional density of NCs than samples with larger grains.
It is seen that for both circular and square bars with relatively high cross-sectional area/perimeter ratios, concrete cover separation failure is the upper-bound failure mode which limits the load capacity when the other influencing parameters, such as bond length, resin cover thickness and concrete strength, are optimised.
The standardised dyspnoea domains produced higher cross-sectional correlations than the individualised dyspnoea domains.
However, the strength of relationship between age and BMD in urban subjects was less pronounced than in rural subjects, such that rural women had a higher cross-sectional "rate of bone loss" than urban women, particularly at the femoral neck.
As can be seen, all diseases do indeed appear to have had a higher cross-sectional prevalence at ages 65 66 using Medicare data (in particular, hypertension and arthritis) than in pre-Medicare private insurance.
Living in neighborhoods with fewer recreational open spaces and less residential density, traffic density, sidewalk completeness, and intersection density were associated with higher cross-sectional BMI z-score and with an increase in BMI z-score over time.
