We therefore support further operations research into the possibility of streamlining the surgical procedure and immediately proximate activities.
Samples were subsequently evaluated for their sensory characteristics (color, taste, overall appearance, and texture), taste-determining factors (glucosinolate and soluble carbohydrate content and myrosinase activity), proximate nutrients (protein, dietary fiber, and carbohydrate) and potential health benefit attributes (antioxidant capacity).
The covariate for distance to the airport terminal may reflect a combination of parking lots, activities on nearby roadways, and aircraft and ground support activity proximate to the terminal, but our analyses could not separate out these contributions.
The absence and/or replacement of methionine residues adjacent to catalytic residues or in the proximate area of active-site pockets has been reported to confer resistance to oxidation, as based on the catalytic activity of enzymes [Estell et al. 1985, Hagihara et al. 2001, 2003, Nonaka et al. 2003].
Based on the growth performance, feed utilization, proximate composition, serum enzyme activities and gut morphology, the optimum dietary leucine level for optimal growth of juvenile golden pompano was 29.3 32.9 g kg− 1 of the dry diet, corresponding to 71.5 80.2 g kg− 1 of dietary protein.
Proximate causes are the activities and actions that directly affect land use, e.g. wood extraction or road building.
Within this model, physical and social environments are identified as intermediate factors that mediate relationships between fundamental factors and more proximate factors such as physical activity and dietary practices that ultimately influence anthropomorphic and physiologic indicators of cardiovascular risk.
In addition, aspects of the built environment and airborne PM may also influence cardiovascular risk indirectly, through more proximate factors such as physical activity, social integration and social supports, and exposure to chronic stressors (arrow 5).
This model guides HEP's analysis of social and physical environments as intermediate factors contributing to CVD risk, mediating relationships between fundamental factors such as race-based residential segregation and concentrated poverty, and more proximate factors (e.g., physical activity, dietary practices) associated with CVD.
In addition, for other pollutants with both indoor and outdoor sources (e.g., PM mass, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds), much of the variability in exposure is driven by indoor source activity and/or very proximate local sources (e.g., traffic).
The prey seem to be unable to adjust feeding activities to the proximate cues of avian presence, but they are able to adjust to the overall perception of the environmental quality in terms of cover and refuge.
