Another recent indicator of market contraction is SVAngel's exit from Y Combinator's Start Fund, which has adjusted to these more modest times by renaming itself YC VC and contracting itself, doling out smaller amounts of actual capital and providing more human capital.
We next examined the ability of IGF1 to reduce a floating collagen gel matrix, an indicator of cell contraction, with the resulting data confirming that the weights of the gels were higher in diabetic (twofold) and hypercortisolemic (1.47-fold) fibroblasts, as compared with corresponding control values (Fig. 4D).
Our results indicate that early systolic events and specifically early systolic rates of endocardial motion are likely the best wall-motion-based indicators of synchrony of contraction, confirming that fully four-dimensional wall motion analysis will be essential for this clinical application.
The recent sizable underwriting of a 10-year IBM debenture with a 7.625% coupon is a leading indicator of the prospective spread contraction coming between high-grade corporates and 10-year Treasuries.
Time shifts may be an important indicator of propagation of uterine contractions, which could be altered in women in preterm labor.
The company reports were subject to an analysis of key developments that had taken place during this period, particularly indicators of expansion or contraction within a market.
If shortening velocity is a reasonable indicator of cross-bridge cycling, then the observed reduction in shortening velocity with time of contraction suggests that the cross-bridge cycling rate must be slowing with contraction.
Cardiotocography machines are currently used by obstetricians, typically during the third trimester and in high-risk pregnancies, to measure fetal heart rate and uterine contractions as an indicator of fetal distress.
This string of indicators has led state, city and federal government economists to a nearly unanimous conclusion: After two and half years of contraction, the New York City economy appears to have bottomed out, and a hesitant but discernible recovery may be under way.
According to Sonnenblick et al. [ 24, 25], the isotonic contraction of the papillary tissue is well described by the force-velocity curves, where, at a given load, the maximum contraction velocity is an indicator of contractility.
The period of contraction is called systole.
