All analyses were carried out with scripts written in Matlab (The MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA) that incorporated processing functions of the statistical parametric mapping (SPM8) software package (Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, London, UK, http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/).ac.uk/spm/
Briefly, the model incorporated smooth functions of time (natural cubic splines, with seven degrees of freedom per year, to capture seasonal and other long-term effects), indicator variables for day of the week, and measures of BS (at single central monitoring site) and temperature at lags ≤ 30 days grouped into 6-day periods (Carder et al. 2008).
This is in direct contrast to the model in which we incorporated a smooth function of time.
For PM2.5, in the initial additive and AR models, increasing vehicle counts were significantly associated with increasing concentrations, but not once we incorporated a smooth function of time.
Finally, fusion of the RTX domain to a soluble, globular protein facilitated the generation of protein fibrils and sheets that incorporated the biological function of the globular protein (GFP) into the protein assembly.
This paper presents properties of a-C H Si coa-C H Sis a funcoatings incorporased silicon atoms.
The mechanical (rheology, degradation) and physical (apparent crosslinking density, swelling ratio) properties of the gels varied as a function of incorporated HA oligomer content; however, overall, the mechanics of these hydrogels were too weak for vascular applications as stand-alone materials.
We incorporated a smoothed spline function of time, which can accommodate nonlinear and nonmonotonic patterns between time and mortality, offering a flexible modeling tool (Hastie and Tibshirani 1990).
This applied to genes having their gene products explicitly incorporated in the regulatory function of a down-stream gene that is measured as well as those that mediate their regulatory effect through another gene.
Figure 3 shows the SIMS profile plotted on a logarithm and linear scale for the Na-incorporated device as a function of the sputter-etch time (the SIMS profile of the Na-restricted device is not shown in here).
