Unfortunately, closed systems may result in lower cooling rates compared to open systems, due to the thermal insulation of the samples, which may cause ice crystal formation resulting in impaired results.
This is due to the fact that the impaired results are balanced by an equal number of improved results.
This latter group was initially older, physically less active, more depressed and cognitively impaired (results not shown, but are available upon request from authors).
The women deviated from the age-and gender matched normative data of the general population regarding 'physical function' (p = 0.010), 'role physical' (p = 0.024) and 'role emotional' (p = 0.031) at 6-month follow-up showing impaired results.
When DCs from CVID patients were differentiated in cell culture experiments their maturation was impaired, resulting in diminished interleukin-12 production and impaired up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules.
In certain B-lymphoblastoid cell mutants, MHC class II molecule-peptide complex formation is impaired, resulting in deficient antigen-presenting function.
UK Athletics is to launch an inquiry into the classification of Paralympic track and field athletes following claims that some have been allowed to compete against those who are significantly more impaired, resulting in a boost to their medal chances.
Reflecting the time course of S-phase accumulation, cell cycle-dependent induction of Cyclin A and Cyclin B was impaired, resulting in reduced activity of Cdk2 and Cdc2 kinases.
We show that mutations in the Drosophila ribbon (rib) gene disrupt this coupling: the basal surface continues to extend towards its normal targets, but movement and morphogenesis of the tracheal cell bodies and apical surface is severely impaired, resulting in long basal membrane protrusions but little net movement or branch formation.
Morphological operations were applied to extract image edges for augmenting high spatial frequencies for the visually impaired, resulting in three possible edge gradient types.
