However, the above mentioned and other authors have neglected this inconsistency since they have considered mixed indices from the start when concentrating on Cartesian or affine coordinates.
The commonly used (see e.g. Dorfi ([1999]) in RHD, Iwakami et al. ([2008]) in MHD, Fryxell et al. ([2000]) in MHD) form of Q (16) is not compatible with these requirements since the symmetrization is only defined for lower indices, whereas the unit tensor e of a metric space is only defined for mixed indices, meaning there is no such thing as δ i j.
Some investigators have suggested using mixed indices to improve the probability of the prediction of NIV failure.
Some biochemical markers (aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to platelets ratio index) or mixed indexes (platelets count to spleen diameter ratio) have been shown to partially correlate with the presence of EV [ 8, 9].
Since there was no available data to accurately measure the case-mix indices based on diagnosis-related groups, the use of case-mixed index was limited for hospitals in China as well as in other developing countries.
Other variables used in the analysis include mixed density index, average commuting distance and a measure of spatial clustering.
Based on the definition of the mixed reliability index for structural safety evaluation with probabilistic and non-probabilistic uncertainties, the reliability-based optimization incorporating such mixed reliability constraints are mathematically formulated as a nested problem.
Data from Spain estimated that, in mixed clusters, index cases were foreign-born in 50% of cases.
Blood and ultrasound examinations were repeated 2 h after a standardized meal that consisted of carbohydrates of mixed glycemic index (48 g) without butter and protein [ 5] and administration of the morning dose of meal-related insulin (usual type and dose of insulin for this meal).
Confirmatory factor analysis performed using the original version of the SCS-MS indicated mixed fit indices (Ware, The school climate survey, unpublished).
