One order of red algae (the Rhodachlyales) was recognized in Hawaii for the first time and 196 new island distributional records were determined from the survey collections.
Values of anthropometric (BMI and blood pressure) and biochemical (glucose, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides) characteristics, derived from the patient records, were determined at baseline and after three years.
If on review a record was determined not to have sustained a head injury, then a second member of the research team reviewed the record.
The actual draw rate and draw ratio at the region in the specimen from which X-ray data was recorded was determined independently with high consistency by direct video observation of strain and total X-ray scattering.
Statistical significance of data obtained from Western blot, RT-PCR and electrophysiological recording was determined by unpaired Student's t-test with the use of Prism 5 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA).
The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI - the number of apneas, hypopneas per hour recorded) was determined and compared with clinical characteristics and postoperative course.
The peak window for each recording was determined by examining the subthreshold response averaged over all stimuli, and choosing the window to contain the first major peak in the average response (initial peak).
All deviations recorded were determined using appropriate spectacle correction.
The specific class sessions that were recorded were determined by each PD.
The official underlying cause of death recorded is determined after compiling data from a number of additional sources including traffic accident reports, Coroners' inquiries, hospital diagnoses, pathology records and cancer registry entries.
