As an effect of the preventive program we gradually introduced at the health centers for expectant mothers and the child welfare centers in the 1970s, the percentage of caries-free 3-year-olds increased from 35% in 1973 to 97% in 1993 and is still maintained at this suboptimal level.
The choice of kernel function greatly affects the performance of SVM, and the nonlinear kernel function used in this study helped SVM to maintain good performance even with suboptimal input features (A95 and S6).
Finally, studying booster immunizations for suboptimal responders and to maintain titers in those on immunosuppressants, and the optimal timing of vaccine administration are also areas that merit further investigation.
However, under suboptimal conditions or upon perturbation, organisms must maintain homeostasis and adapt their modes of operation to ensure viability [ 2].
Purified NK cells were cultured at 106 cells/ml either in the presence of suboptimal concentration of IL-2 (100 ng/ml) (Peprotech) to maintain them alive (referred as rNK) or were activated by a combination of PHA (10 µg/ml) (Sigma) and IL-2 (10 µg/ml) (referred as aNK cells).
It has been proposed that another function of chaperones is to maintain the activity of proteins destabilized by mutation, weakening the selection against suboptimal protein variants.
It is important that physicians maintain an index of suspicion when evaluating whether adherence is a factor in suboptimal responses in TKI-treated patients.
During the depth-first search through the DFS code tree, we always maintain the currently top-k best subgraph patterns according to gSide and the temporally suboptimal gSide value (denoted by (theta)) among all the gSide values calculated before.
It is tempting to speculate that due to such suboptimal function, Jβ RSS sequences may have been selected in order to maintain the B12/23 constraint (i.e., avoid PC nucleation at Jβ RSSs).
Outcomes for people experiencing depression are suboptimal [ 34] and it is almost certain that researchers, policy-makers and clinicians will maintain an interest in re-defining the system of depression care in the community setting [ 6, 35].
