Unfortunately, this and similar questions cannot be answered in the frame of the present study, due to several constraints: the cross sectional design, no measures of propensity to consumption or nicotine dependence, and limited information on other psycho-social characteristics, but above all the one-country setting, where this counterfactual outcome [ 45] cannot be studied.
The first set of assays showed a negative correlation between the duration prior to feeding and the behavioral change as a measure of feeding propensity; the shorter the time between the light pulses and blood provision, the larger the decrease in feeding propensity.
The statistical models included an area-level measure of diagnosis propensity to control for these effects.
NMs' human occupational exposure potential is the probabilistic measure of the propensity of the NM to enter the human body by inhalation, ingestion or dermal pathways.
Using the DST as a measure of illness propensity and development in prospectively studied high-risk and control offspring is a promising avenue for future research given the high variability of findings pertaining to salivary cortisol across studies.
Boyden Chamber assays were utilized to assess the invasiveness of tumor cells, as one measure of metastatic propensity, following the manufacture's suggestions (BD biosciences, San Jose, CA).
We introduce coevolution potentials as a novel measure of the propensity for the 20 amino acids to pair amongst predicted coevolutionary interactions.
We therefore developed a measure of the propensity for strongly coevolving sites to be composed of each of the 210 possible pairings of the 20 amino acids, which we termed the coevolution potentials between the amino acids.
We propose a formal definition of History-Dependent Excitability (HDE) as a measure of the propensity to firing in any moment in time, linking the subthreshold history-dependent dynamics with spike generation.
Going beyond these two more commonly considered correlations, we offer a novel measure of the propensity for each pair of the 20 amino acids to be found at coevolving sites, which we term their "coevolution potentials".
