By measuring allocation and transport of essential elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, in a whole plant in real time, PET provides a key tool needed to identify and characterize the mechanisms and regulation of transport and allocation.
To measure allocation, we scanned the entire plant in 15 cm segments, applied attenuation correction (transmission scan performed for each plant prior to CO2 administration), and used the reconstructed whole-plant image to measure C- distribution to the target leaf, lower stem, apex and roots (ROIs as indicated in Fig. 1d).
For all C PET scans performed on the sorghum plants, we measured transport dynamics of C in a fixed location on the stem for 2 h after CO2 administration, and then scanned the entire plant to measure allocation of recently fixed carbon to the different plant tissue.
Before the process times are measured, the allocation of threads to blocks should be considered in order to maximize parallelism.
This strategy of measured energy allocation provides males with the ability to call at higher rates than their competitors and thus remain attractive over many nights.
Male subjects were returned to their home cage, and female subjects were either removed from the experiment in order to measure sperm allocation (see Sperm allocation), returned to their home cage, or retained in the experimental apparatus to be used later on the same experimental day (i.e., in the previously mated female treatment group—see above).
The Bayesian network also facilitates the implementation of diagnostic analysis to determine vulnerable parts in the system to which special attention should be paid in safety measure allocation.
The model will include as covariates: baseline outcome measure, allocation (intervention or control), age, gender, study centre (London or the Midlands) as fixed effects, and the intervention group as a random effect.
We will use a mixed effects regression model to adjust estimates for costs and QALYs for the following covariates: baseline outcome measure, allocation (intervention or control), age, gender, study centre (London or the Midlands) as fixed effects, and the intervention group as a random effect.
In accordance with IEEE 802.15.6, the hub still needs to calculate the number of allocation slots for a node due to the allocation interval in scheduled allocation should be measured by the allocation slot number.
