By retrospectively reviewing the pathological results of the enrolled patients, we collected information on the diameter and SUVmax of the primary tumors, short-axis diameter of thoracic lymph nodes, pathological type, tumor location and tumor differentiation.
Under the stratified sampling strategy, selecting unequal number of branches per stratum produced approximately similar results to simple random sampling, but it further decreased RMSE when information on branch diameter is used in the design and estimation phases.
Information on tumour diameter and lymph node status at diagnosis was abstracted from the pathology reports.
Of the 482 patients initially included in our study, information on tumor diameter, pT and pN stages was available in 418 cases.
3-Arm Caliper (3-ACS) in open-constructed boreholes for obtaining information on the borehole diameter, as well as identifying weak and fissure zones.
The logging tools used were: 1. 3-Arm Caliper (3-ACS) in open-constructed boreholes for obtaining information on the borehole diameter, as well as identifying weak and fissure zones.
If shape characteristics are included in the estimation of the BEF the approach is similar to the volume based approach in which information on height and diameter of a tree are used together with species specific shape and wood density factors [82].
Bu et al. (2010) exposed rats orally to 1 g/kg rutile-anatase TiO2 NMs (<50 nm, XRD; no information on hydrodynamic particle diameter) for 14 consecutive days and observed disturbances in the amino acid and energy metabolisms, in the gut microflora environment, as well as slight injury to the heart and liver tissues.
In the urine and serum of rats exposed orally to 1 g/kg rutile-anatase TiO2 NMs (<50 nm, XRD; no information on hydrodynamic particle diameter) for 14 days, Bu et al. (2010) observed metabolite changes indicating disturbances in the energy and amino acid metabolism by NMR using principal components and partial least squares discriminant analysis.
The aim of this study was to obtain information on the axonal diameters of cortico-cortical fibres in the human brain, connecting distant regions of the same hemisphere via the white matter.
