The facet fluid thickness was measured on axial MRI by means of the Kodak Carestream Pacs System Carestream Health Molecular Imagingg, Woodbridge, CT, USA), taking into consideration the perpendicular to the apparent joint line, and the largest value was recorded as an effusion size.
Finally, the maximum diameters in the axial, coronal and sagittal planes were measured separately; the largest value was recorded as the MPTD.
MPTD, defined as the maximum diameter of the continuous, uninterrupted tumor signal on post-Gd-DTPA T1-weighted images, was measured in the axial, coronal and sagittal planes; the largest value was recorded as the MPTD [ 13, 19].
A sudden change in grayscale intensity corresponds to the inside edge of the pelvic ring; the pixel with the largest value is recorded as a pelvic ring initialization point.
Methyl-C dispersions with Rex values larger than this limiting value (recorded using the same 2.5 mM sample) cannot derive from process I and, so long as they satisfy criteria (i)–(iii) above, were assigned as probes of process III.
Results from these analyses revealed large differences in ATM mRNA levels in the cohort, with a 56.9-fold ratio between the highest and the lowest value recorded.
Since in each simulation replicate there are 4,000 markers and 25 permutations (for a total of 100,000 tests), we choose the largest value of the recorded λ from the 25 permutation replicates as an estimate of the λ that allows only one variable out of 100,000 markers to enter the model for that simulation replicate.
In this case, the large values of recorded ground motion are a combination of near-fault and nonlinear site response effects involving fluid mobilization.
Large values were recorded for X 2 in the case of Pseudo first order and Avrami kinetics models suggesting that the kinetics of RhB uptake onto DNc and CCDNc was not described by Pseudo first and Avrami kinetic models.
