The relative acquisition rate η and the relative clearance rate δ were both assigned a uniform prior on the interval [0,10].
The relative acquisition cost of the two reprocessor types could not be included because comparative pricing was not publicly available in Canada.
To account for differences between children and adults the acquisition rates are multiplied with η a (i ) = η1(a(i) ≥ 7) + 1(a(i) < 7), where η is the relative acquisition rate in adults versus children.
We have also compared the readouts provided by four distinct imaging techniques technologies – automated microscopy, fluorescence and transmitted-light scanners, and a fluorescence macroscope – for their relative acquisition speed, image resolution, and information content.
They assumed that all three interventions were of equal effectiveness, and that the differences in costs were consequently driven by issues related to their relative acquisition and administration costs.
Compared to global averages, ratios of C N P enzyme activities across these tropical forests indicated lower relative N-acquisition and higher relative P-acquisition, with N-acquisition lowest in the urban watershed, and P-acquisition highest in the upper-elevation remote watershed.
Combined phosphatase and phosphodiesterase (EP) activities were compared with leucine aminopeptidase activities (EN), yielding a measure of potential microbial investment in P acquisition relative to N acquisition.
Due to the notable influence of atmospheric effects and the objects relative motion, acquisition, pointing and tracking (APT) are the key technologies to establish the communication link in free space optical communication (FSO).
Due to the light-sheet selective plane illumination, the relative long acquisition time (40 ms), and ultralow ligand concentration in the medium, negligible fluorescent background signals were observed.
One week later, extinction retest was followed by reinstatement (randomized to either the same US or a different US relative to acquisition) and then reinstatement test.
