Oklahoma, one of the reddest and most conservative states in the U.S., voted Tuesday to legalize marijuana for medical purposes, adopting some of the most liberal weed laws in the union.
Aside from the fact that the information provided by participants in our study would have been inadequate for that purpose, adopting such an approach would have seriously compromised one of the primary intentions of our study, namely to determine to what degree injuries resulting in relatively minor anatomical injury result in adverse outcome.
We noticed that some of the tools for similar purpose adopt K = 10 for nucleotide sequences [ 7] but still keep in mind that some improvements may be brought in when a larger K value is used especially for the large genome and repeat-rich sequences.
For this purpose, the rheological design adopts a complementary electrosteric dispersion and stabilization technique to obtain cement pastes with desirable flow properties at constant particle concentrations dictated by the micromechanics based design.
Several variants of normalized mutual information exist: to our purposes, we adopted two different versions of NMI, henceforth called NMI LFK and NMI MGH - after the authors initials - presented, respectively, by Lancichinetti, Fortunato and Kertesz [56] and by McDaid, Greene and Hurley [57].
For comparative purposes, we adopted a set of covariates similar to those used in a previous study [ 25], such as the number of teaching physicians, hospital beds, emergency patients, and open/closed programmes within a single institution.
The "Act regarding the procurement and use of human body material destined for human medical applications or for scientific research purposes" was adopted on 19 December 2008 and entered into force on 1 December 2009.
For this purpose, we adopted a design that was previously successfully used to investigate asymmetry in the recall of stimulus sequences probed either in forward or backward direction [35].
For this purpose, we adopted a data-driven systematic approach.
