As multiplying agents directed toward health promotion and working with a multi-professional team, the actions of OHTs have gained prominence.
For community actions, the Law makes implicit a broad use of technicians, which specifies the work conditions of OHTs as multiplying agents or even supervisors with the stipulation "participate in educational actions for health promotion and the prevention of oral diseases", as it does not impose specific prohibitions.
Furthermore anti-multiplying agents are almost always either inactive or only partially active against non-multiplying or slowly multiplying or persister bacteria [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] which leads to the need for multiple doses of antibiotics in order to achieve cure of a bacterial infectious disease.
Expected utility, in decision theory, the expected value of an action to an agent, calculated by multiplying the value to the agent of each possible outcome of the action by the probability of that outcome occurring and then summing those numbers.
The risk rises with increasing levels of smoking and drinking, each agent approximately multiplying the effects of the other (Elwood et al, 1984; Blot, 1992; Dosemeci et al, 1997; Talamini et al, 2002).
Second, the over-the-counter creams tend to be combinations of antibiotics, Dr. Jacobs explained, so if any resistant bacteria survive one antibiotic, they will be killed by one of the other agents rather than multiplying.
Instead of adding or multiplying the effects of individual agents, CA involves addition of weighted exposures (i.e., isoeffective doses).
The 'weight' is multiplied by an agent-determined score between 0 and 1 that indicates the quality of the match.
He holds that knowledge propter quid must be through angles, lines and figures because a "natural agent multiplies its power from itself to what it acts upon, whether it act upon the senses or upon matter" (Baur 1912, 60).
In 1899 the Dutch microbiologist Martinus Beijerinck observed that the agent multiplied only in dividing cells.
He observed that the agent multiplied only in cells that were dividing, but as his experiments did not show that it was made of particles, he called it a contagium vivum fluidum (soluble living germ) and re-introduced the word virus.
