Different lower case letters indicate significant differences at α = 0.05 using comparisons of nested models (separate vs. merged factor levels) based on likelihood ratio tests.
Definitions: NCS - non-crystallographic symmetry; Rpim - precision-indicating merging factor; Rwork - crystallographic residual factor; Rfree - free crystallographic residual factor.
The timing of sample collection needs to consider transport and dispersion mechanisms that are important in the scenario being studied, and to merge these factors with design considerations and data concerning acute or chronic situations or the decay from acute to low-level residual exposures.
The segmentation scale factor is set to be 36.8, and the merging scale factor is chosen as 98.0.
Factors I and II demanded that categories two and three were merged, whereas factor III needed categories 3 and 4 collapsed together.
Rp.i.m, precision-indicating merging R factor, was calculated as described [58].
Since a and b cell parameters are very similar, data were also processed in a tetragonal crystal system, point groups P4 or P422, but in both cases the merging R factor was significantly higher (around 0.30), and the orthorhombic system was selected.
The two merging scale factors, i.e., the spectral scale factor Q and the texture scale factor M, are combined to decide the final number of regions in the segmentation result.
Notably, as shown by Kato and colleagues [ 8], the MPAP to MAP ratio can be calculated to reveal changes in both systemic and pulmonary circulation in sepsis; as the systemic pressure falls and the pulmonary pressure increases, the two merge as the factor approaches 1.0.
