Here we extended this model by assuming that the decay rate is proportional to the relative duration of the gap to each criterion duration, -salience * g/Tk.
Quantitative modeling suggests that the multiple clocks have separate attentional or working memory resources, which are re-allocated independently during a gap at a rate proportional to the relative duration of the gap to the multiple criterion durations.
Thus, solving for r2 gives r 2 = r 1 (S 1 S 2 ) In an epidemiological scenario meeting the above assumptions, the S1/S2 ratio is thus linearly proportional to the relative duration of r2 and r1.
Assuming equilibrium, S1/S2 must be directly proportional to the relative durations of stage 1 and stage 2; thus, if one of the two durations is known, the other can be deduced.
Finally, onset of tertiary creep was utilized for rational selection of the ultimate strength of viscoelastic materials, whose strength is inversely proportional to duration of loading.
This is surprising given that infection rates are directly proportional to duration of catheterization [23, 36] and the general perception that ED invasive lines are placed in "crash" or code situations where full barrier precautions are not used and, therefore, are less sterile [22, 27].
The resulting data set thus included proportional fixation duration scores for each of the AOIs.
The loss in fluorescence in both channels is consistent with loss of cell membrane integrity resulting in the combined loss of acidic compartments and cytoplasmic contents containing AO. Indeed, the number of cells in this population was proportional with duration of LT treatment and analysis of forward versus side scatter profiles is consistent with non-viable cells.
Diaphragmatic muscle weakening is partially explained by proteolysis, apoptosis and oxidative stress [ 3], and appears to be directly proportional to duration of mechanical ventilation [ 4]; anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agents such as steroids may attenuate the process [ 5, 6].
A growth curve was constructed by plotting body mass against age using the Gompertz equation in the form: mt= mmaxexp -exp[- t-c /b]), where mmaxexp -exp[- t-c /b]mmaxexp -exp[- t-c /b]ss, b is proportional to duration of growth, c is the age at point of inflection (i.e., 36.8% of mmaxexp -exp[- t-c /b]t is age in where (for details, see [ 36]).
The choice to represent care trajectories as chains of characters where the length is directly proportional to the duration of care provision enables simple calculation of time-lapses via the use of PERL regular expressions [ 30, 31].
