In this regard, our meta-analysis of reports that assessed smoking earlier in pregnancy [ 24, 57, 62, 63, 65] showed a tendency to present an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes, while our meta-analysis of studies that ascertained smoking later in pregnancy, and thus possibility more accurately, [ 59- 66] 66] showed odds ratios slightly less than 1.
This meta analysis found that studies that assessed smoking earlier in pregnancy [ 11, 13- 15, 18] showed a tendency to present an increased risk of GDM, while studies that ascertained smoking later [ 10, 16, 19] showed odds ratios slightly less than 1.
Our consistent observations of perturbations arising within TPA-treated cultures of non-malignant cells isolated from the breast tissue of multiple donors suggests that ascertaining safe levels of TPA exposure must be considered a high priority.
There is a proliferating demand for both commercial and governmental applications of wireless localization services that ascertain the position of a (mobile user) MU in an indoor environment [1].
The STD subsystem comprises an edit distance-based term detector, which treats the term search in one way or another depending on the number of words the term consists of, and a decision maker that ascertains reliable detections.
We have shown that 98% of the (ascertained) SNP allelic variation in a sample of 259 diverse lines can be captured in a set of 20 lines, as opposed to only 48% of the SSR alleles.
By comparing the respective energy component of B3P-1 withathat of B3P-2, we ascertained that the exchange-repulsion term of B3P-1 indeedeed larger than that of B3P-2, whish is consistent with our chemical intuition.
The social desirability bias can be defined as the tendency of individuals to report favourable impressions of themselves on measures that ascertain sociological and psychological variables of interest such as attitudes to mental illness, ethnic minorities and gender.
According to a "worst-case" scenario, 50% of those 40% of registrants that are ascertained by "BSfreq" do not have diabetes; this corresponds to about 20% of the total population registered in NDR.
However, this sampling scheme may not be optimal, and in fact it has been shown (Glidden and Liang 2002; Noh et al. 2005) that the analysis of the ascertained data is sensitive to mis-specification of the random-effect distribution.
