In most of these studies, heritability estimates for the CAR or other slope measures were minimal.
Changes in other lipid and blood pressure measures were minimal between cohorts and differences did not reach statistical significance at either 6- or 12-months (P > 0.05 for within and between cohort changes in total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglyceridesystoliclic and diastolic blood pressure).
These two concept measures are the Minimal Clinically Important Improvement (MCII), defined as the smallest change in a measurement which signifies an important improvement in a patient's symptom score [ 3], and the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), defined as the symptom score beyond which patients consider themselves to be well [ 2, 4, 5].
Prevention costs are minimal when measured against the costs of treatment, the criminal justice system and the loss of life and property.
The cost of these measures will be minimal and not require the commitment any significant resources.
Our results indicate that the relationships between objectively measured UBF and QoL post-surgery are minimal.
In addition, because so few people are vaccinated overall, the mitigating effects of vaccination are minimal and each measure varies little as a function of the timing of the vaccination campaign (t a - t0).
This implies that, for the set of parameters in Figure 5, there is an optimal length of n* = 7 genes in the loop, for which the relative fluctuations of the period, as measured by the coefficient of variation, are minimal.
The challenges for the inverse problem under the consideration are not only from its high nonlinearity and severe ill-posedness but also from the facts that the amount of the measured data is minimal and that these raw data are contaminated by a significant amount of noise, due to a non-ideal experimental setup.
