Many clinical trials have shown it to effectively shrink lesions and improve patients' survival rate and quality of life.
Thus, the negative feedback in the first stage effectively shrinks the dynamic range being fed into the second stage.
LIMMA employs an empirical Bayes methodology that effectively shrinks the sample variances towards a pooled estimate.
In this pharmacodynamic model of tumor response, everolimus more effectively shrinks target lesions in mRCC when dosed 10 mg daily versus 5 mg daily, although a 5-mg dose still shows an antitumor effect.
The partial correlation coefficient Π jk follows a normal distribution (panel a), but the mixed prior, which assumes that the majority of the gene pairs are not connected, effectively shrinks most of the posterior probabilities toward zero (panel b).
With low load (Supplementary Fig. 4, 20 stored patterns), all morphs converge to the stored pattern Eff, whereas when many patterns are stored (Fig. 7 d, 160 stored patterns), the basin of attraction effectively shrinks, and only the morphs closer to the Eff pattern showed convergence.
Mr. Obama would expand Medicaid to cover millions more people; Mr. Romney would effectively shrink it, giving each state a fixed amount of federal money to cover its disadvantaged population with more control over eligibility and benefits.
On January 18, Wilson underwent lap-band surgery -- a procedure in which a silicone band is placed around the stomach, effectively shrinking it to the size of a golf ball, reports People magazine.
The class of shrinkage methods, which effectively shrink the effects from some predictors to zero, can both improve performance and reduce computational costs in many instances.
When apps — take, say, Netflix — go fullscreen, the regions next to the camera go dark, effectively shrinking the size of the display to what it'd look like with a more standard top bezel.
