Although the policy appears straightforward -- that gay men and lesbians may serve in the military so long as they keep their sexual orientation to themselves and do not engage in homosexual acts -- the military has been plagued with instances of gays being harassed until they admitted their sexual orientation, ending their military careers.
Fig. 6 Based on the results of Rayleigh (1919, see Annex) the cumulative probability was calculated that in a 3-dimensional space a sequence of N = 2 and N = 3 random steps with equal length R and arbitrary orientation end in a distance r from the origin of the first step.
Variables excluded by stepwise backward procedure from both models: political orientation, end-of-life care experiences, and self-rated health.
NOSM UG students are asked to participate in surveys and interviews at the first-year orientation, end of second year, and end of fourth year (figure 1).
The research-orientation scale showed a strong skew towards the non-research orientation end of the scale, with the majority of participants scoring 0 or 1 out of a possible 13.
The numbers of observations with these 13 values were 18, 23, 7, 8, 4, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, and 1, respectively, showing a skew towards the non-research orientation end of the scale.
Radial ring (1-d in polar coordinates) and check (2-d) stimuli were used to vary the orientation bandwidth of the stimuli in order to control for the possible effect on the fMRI response of neuronal selectivities for orientation, end-stopping or other contextual effects in the cortex.
To qualitatively and quantitatively estimate its bi-directional transcriptional function and activity, two visible reporter genes, gusA (β-glucuronidase, GUS) and gfp (green fluorescent protein, GFP), were fused to the two ends of the promoter in bi-orientations ending with NOS terminator sequences, respectively.
In the case of ∆N, there is only one orientation for end-to-end association.
Clusters were classified as having an insert size that was too large (deletions, n = 5135), too small (insertions, n = 5241), or an incorrect orientation of ends (inversion breakpoints, n = 183) with respect to the chicken genome sequence.
