Temperature, heat flux, and ignition propensity measurements were performed in the flame and plume regions above these lighters.
The bioenergetic propensity was calculated by measurement of lactate in the presence or absence of oligomycin.
A third serious challenge for biomarker measurement is the propensity for the low abundance biomarkers to be rapidly degraded by endogenous and exogenous proteinases immediately after the blood sample is drawn from the patient.
Coefficient of variation values reported for saliva sample analysis are often higher than those reported for serum analysis of the same biochemical, 18 possibly due to characteristics unique to saliva that increase measurement variability (viscosity, propensity to form bubbles, etc).
Overall, these data support an association between adiposity, particularly central adiposity, as assessed by anthropometric measurements, and increased propensity for cardiovascular disease, predominantly CHD.
For measurement of phage display propensity, equal numbers of phage displaying each of the 15 scFv clones and a helper phage control were subject to reducing SDS-PAGE and subsequently electroblotted onto nitrocellulose.
The relatively similar plasma concentrations of CFA at the 4 and 10 day measurements indicate a low propensity for bioconcentration in this tissue, unlike for gemfibrozil in goldfish (Mimeault et al., 2005).
Michael F. Bergeron, a professor of pediatrics at the University of South Dakota and executive director of the National Youth Sports Health and Safety Institute, cautioned that chronic levels of cortisol might be a better measurement of a child's propensity toward stress, rather than the single-day measurements taken in the new study.
Matching is performed on the first year of BMI measurement of each cohort and propensity scores are estimated separately for each age cohort depicted in Table 1.
Because the propensity score was the only pre-intervention measurement, the matching algorithm minimized the absolute differences in propensity score [ 49].
