We use K = 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, to be representative of common, complex genetic diseases and we use K = 0.5 to benchmark comparison at the most extreme prevalence rate and maximum phenotypic variance (K/(1 - K)) on the risk scale.
During the most extreme periods (the glacial maxima, when climates were at their coldest and, in most places, also driest), the range of tropical rainforests shrank to its smallest extent, becoming restricted to relatively small refugia.
From these measurements we mostly focussed on identifying the most extreme conditions observed to evaluate the maximum stresses that the stone may be exposed to.
Thus, in the most extreme case (-360), the team estimated a maximum survival of 168 days but the patient survived 528 days.
The whiskers extend either to the minimum and maximum values or to the most extreme values within 1.5 interquartile ranges of the quartiles, in which case more extreme values are plotted individually [ 2].
The pretreatment pH was the most significant factor affecting both the enzymatic glucose and xylose yields after mild thermal pretreatments at maximum 140°C for 10 min. The maximal enzymatic glucose and xylose yields from the solid, pretreated wheat straw fraction were obtained after pretreatments at the most extreme pH values (pH 1 or pH 13) at the maximum pretreatment temperature of 140°C.
Research suggests that certain types of facilities such as maximum-security prisons, where deprivations are the most extreme, have greater negative health effects (Daniel and Fleming 2006; Huey and McNulty 2005; Way et al. 2005).
Isolated in the USSR, she wrote the most extreme music, limiting herself to the minimum of musical material and instrumentation, but achieving the maximum of spiritual strength.
The most extreme height:diameter ratios would be reached for open-grown trees and for trees at a maximum stand density.
However, in order to avoid singular outliers to detract from a more general perspective, the five most extreme values in each direction were averaged, a procedure which can be considered a stabilized minimum and maximum.
