During each pattern of ventilation, a stepwise change in PEEP was applied, first incrementing PEEP from 0 to 15 cmH2O in steps of 3 cmH2O; then decrementing it from 15 to 0 cmH2O with the same steps.
His melodies abandoned the steady, stepwise pattern of the seven-note major and minor scales and instead explored the almost limitless permutations of the twelve-note chromatic scale (think of all the black and white keys between two C's on a piano).
The hierarchical approach of the HCoSaMP is well recognized in the plot of Figure 2, where the stepwise pattern of the MSE is due to the partial recovery of the DWT coefficients over the increasing supports L i.
Keeping in mind the stepwise pattern of deuterium retention in austenitic steel, we now consider the evolution of the deuterium thermodesorption spectrum structure with an increasing implantation dose and try to find out the regularities for each of the three stages of deuterium implantation and retention.
Similarly, a stepwise pattern of reversion of resistance associated mutations (RAMs) to wild-type was described in one multi-drug resistant HIV-positive individual by comparative analyses of longitudinal population-based sequences [10].
In contrast, the disease course of VaD is highly variable, generally following a stepwise pattern of decline and fluctuating course [ 41, 42].
A locus was considered to have an abnormal motif if one or more individuals showed a detectable size change that deviated from the expected stepwise pattern of microsatellite expansion or contraction (Fig. 1C3).
We also evaluated issues of fragment size homoplasy and aberrant mutation motifs (i.e., size changes that deviate from the expected stepwise pattern of microsatellite mutation) in an empirical data set of nine chloroplast microsatellite loci developed for five species of Acmispon Raf.
In contrast, the push-and-pull migration pattern is characterized by a variation of the cell length in an oscillating manner (Fig. 4 d), similar to the classical stepwise migration pattern of fibroblasts on a flat surface [14].
Multiple models have been developed to explain the pattern of SSRvariation, such as the stepwise mutation model (SMM) [ 19], and more recent models that focus on a balance between the rate and pattern of length variation and base substitutions [ 20].
