But in today's topsy-turvy market, the bank's decision to take a much more conservative view of the value of its assets was welcomed as a sign that further big mark-downs are less likely.What is more, UBS strengthened its tier-one capital, an important measure of bank solidity, by SFr19.4 billion ($17.1 billion).
We compared ASP to another shape-based measure of heterogeneity, the parameter "solidity" proposed by El Naqa and co-workers for quantitative characterization of the convexity of the metabolically active tumor lesion [ 19].
First, early morphological changes (<70 h after seeding) were monitored using solidity (a measure of convexity) and the shape (or form) factor, a metric used to characterize the shape of objects (Belletti et al., 2008) (Fig. 6).
Univariate and multivariate Cox regression as well as Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis and log-rank test with respect to overall (OAS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were performed for clinical variables, SUVmax/mean, metabolically active tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), ASP and "solidity", another measure of shape irregularity.
Solidity is a measure of macrostate compactness and computed by dividing the area of that macrostate by the area of its convex hull.
For comparison of ASP with another published measure of spatial irregularity, we included the solidity in our analysis.
The Solidity feature is a measure of nucleus shape convexity, it is calculated by the ratio of the nucleus area over the area of the smallest convex hull polygon that can contain the nucleus, it indicates nucleus outline uniformity and it decreases with increasing nuclei boundary irregularity.
It conveys a sense of solidity.
The have no suggestions of solidity.
But always, they offer a sense of solidity.
The bird was a strange coincidence of solidity and air.
