Adding maternal age at delivery or breastfeeding to models with life-course smoking exposure attenuated the association to the null in participants with this phenotype.
A validated biomechanical testing model with life-like simulated loading conditions has been previously used to compare the construct stability of different types of plate fixation techniques for distal femur osteotomies, one of which was the antecedent version of the MDF plate [[7],[8]].
Field emissions (growing and fallow seasons) were estimated with empirical data while other emissions were calculated using an engineering model coupled with life cycle inventory datasets and vehicle emission models.
The CHD Health Policy model was similarly calibrated using life years estimated from the model compared with life expectancy from 1980 national statistics [ 16].
Statistical analyses were performed using ordinal regression models with later-life hypertensive status as the dependent variable.
It combines conventional geographical modelling with conventional life cycle software through the use of catchment delineation.
It does this through combining conventional geographical modelling with conventional life cycle software through the use of catchment delineation.
The EMOD model of malaria transmission is a stochastic individual-based model with mosquito life cycle dynamics and species-specific feeding habits [ 19].
With a small number of exceptions, monogamous, polygynous and promiscuous scenarios were modeled with identical life history parameter values (Table S1).
We investigated 11 questions regarding the correct classification rate of dyads to relatedness categories (relatedness category assignments; RCA) using an individual-based model with realistic life history parameters.
We graphically compared the estimated relative survival from the flexible parametric cure model with empirical life table estimates of relative survival using the Ederer II [ 18] method.
