In this study, the existence of maximal confidence intervals of the interval-valued belief structure was investigated and validated.
An unsolved problem in the interval-valued belief structure is the existence of maximal confidence intervals, referring to the credible and maximal interval-valued beliefs assigned to focal elements, in which every point can be reached by a combination rule.
The fraction of cells demonstrating bright nuclear fluorescence was maximal (0.58±0.071; mean ± 95% confidence interval) when cells were incubated with the peptide at 15°C, with a significant but smaller fraction of nuclei positive for R9-TAMRA at 4°C (0.33±0.065) and very few cells with nuclear staining at 25°C (0.01±0.016) and 37°C (0.03±0.082).
The concentration-response relationship of PMA was analyzed by nonlinear regression using a commercial software (Prism 2.0, GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and a sigmoidal concentration-response curve was fitted to find the mean value of the EC50 (i.e., the concentration which elicited 50% of the maximal response) together with its 95% confidence interval (C.I).
Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics with determination of minimal and maximal values, means and medians, with 95% confidence interval (CI) for particular variables.
The receiver-operating characteristic curve AUC for maximal daily relative CRP variation was 0.76 (95% confidence interval = 0.61 0.86).
The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) values were calculated from dose response curves constructed using GraphPad Prism software.

The maximal dose of norepipnehrine was independently associated with mortality (OR 1.4, [95% confidence interval 1.1 2.0], p = 0.02).
