The close association of prevalence with elevation and the spatial relationship of prevalence to geographical features that were likely to provide mosquito breeding sites, led us to conclude that in Dedza, prevalence was an indicator of variation in levels of transmission during the wet season.
The MPV represents the average size of the platelets, and PDW is an indicator of variation in the size of the platelets.
As a relative indicator of variation, the average number of mismatches for the mapped reads was calculated from the NM flag in the bwa-mem output.
This fact makes this mode a sensitive indicator of variations in the concentration x.
Heterogeneity in tumour imaging is hypothesised to be a potentially important indicator of variations in the underlying biology such as differences in structural features, cellular density, metabolism, growth rate, receptor populations, vascularisation, hypoxia, impaired lymphatics or the varying effects on these that therapy may induce throughout the lesion [12 19].
We also assessed potential modification by state, region, and population density, as proxy indicators of variation in PM2.5 composition.
48 52 In addition, while the MD index is broad and multidimensional, some variables included in this index may not be sensitive indicators of variation in deprivation for immigrants.
However, few studies have tested for statistical differences in the factors that influence the exposure of mammals to WNV, which thus would establish their usefulness as indicators of variation in WNV transmission.
The alterations of metabolites in biofluids are indicators of variations in physiology or pathology.
In contrast, DNA methylation levels are statistically not distinguishable among these three types of hotspots (ANOVA, P = 0.6, fig. 4 C), consistent with our finding that DNA methylation variation itself is not a strong indicator of temporal variation of mammalian recombination hotspots.
The variation in HIV/AIDS prevalence may therefore serve as one possible indicator of the variation in the need for health workers.
