Thus, y' equals 0 at each hypothesized cut-off point: (2) y ' 0.58 μ g / g = 0.465 x − 0.27 (3) y ' 1 μ g / g = 0.465 x − 0.465 (4) y ' 2.5 μ g / g = 0.465 x − 1.162 We assumed a stable diet of infants and mothers, so that any detailed time distribution of the sensitivity to Hg does not matter for the calculation of impacts [ 32].
As we hypothesized that using different cut offs or a different definition for erosive joints (according to the SENS method) may affect the predictive ability of the prediction rule, data on the number of erosive joints were added to the logistic regression model with a backward selection procedure that was used to derive the prediction rule [ 7].
We hypothesized that partial cutting treatments would maintain assemblages that were more similar to uncut stands than to clear cuts.
We further hypothesized that among partial cuts the multicohort harvested stands, with relatively high levels of retention (66%), would maintain beetle assemblages that were more similar to uncut stands than would shelterwoods, which had lower levels of retention (50%).
We hypothesized that a lower cut-off value for ΔPP can predict volume response in patients with low VT.
We hypothesized that the absolute cut-points, developed in a community-based cohort, would be too inclusive and would limit the ability of frailty to discriminate AL residents at higher risk for adverse outcomes.
Lower extremity muscle activations during crossover and side step cut tasks are hypothesized to play an important role in controlling knee motion, and therefore, impact the design of knee injury prevention and rehabilitation programs.
We hypothesized that although some patients would cut back on medications for both conditions, others would cut back selectively, and sought to understand the factors associated with these behaviors.
The authors hypothesized that, by determining optimal cut-off values for wheezing, computerized wheeze detection would be an objective, reliable and easy to use method of assessing wheezing also in infants aged <1 year.
We hypothesized that the catheter had been cut either by the Tuohy needle or the cutting edge of the needle used to fix it to the skin.
On the basis of anecdotal reports of players sleeping in the locker room on used towels and delaying treatment of cuts and abrasions, we hypothesized that poor hygiene habits and compromised skin integrity might predispose players to infection.
