Among proxy-reports, most of them were non-spouse relative proxy-reports (n = 5,126), followed by spouse (n = 3,011) and non-relative proxy-reports (n = 684).
These national surveys rely on asset-based indices to create relative proxy measure of household wealth.
Hence, we have three comparison groups: (1) spouse proxy-reports vs. patient-reports; (2) non-spouse relative proxy-reports vs. patient-reports; and (3) non-relative proxy-reports vs. patient-reports.
That is to say, the ways spouse, non-spouse relative, and non-relative proxies respond to the survey were very similar.> -wrap-foot> Relativetive risk; CI: Confidence interval; ADL: Activities of daily living; IADL: Instrumental activities of daily living; *: Significant at 0.05 level The study successfully controlled for major confounding variables of proxy response bias.
The relatively constant concentration and grain size of the magnetic minerals satisfy the criteria suggested for construction of relative paleointensity proxies (e.g., Tauxe 1993).
The concentration-dependent parameters, including k and k ARM, all vary by a factor of less than 4; the magnetic grain-size-dependent parameter k/k ARM varies by a factor of less than 2. The relatively constant concentration and grain size of the magnetic grains satisfy the criteria suggested for the construction of relative paleointensity proxies (e.g., Tauxe 1993).
Second, the relative paleointensity proxy NRM250/K m records a period of obviously low values during the reversal (Fig. 8h).
But the overweening influence of Mr Thaksin's party, and the tendency of powerful political figures to find relatives or proxies to run as Senate candidates, rendered the upper house almost toothless.
The uppermost diagram of Fig. 6 displays a prominent low in the relative paleointensity proxy at the directional change zone of the M B boundary (indicated by a shaded bar).
Relative chronological proxy indicators (the differential artifact surface abrasion degree and patination, and the non-uniform stone-tool working technologies) attest, together with the specific geomorphic positions of single sites, to several stages of early human occupation, encompassing a long time span of the Middle and early Late Pleistocene.
Note that no name dictionary is usually available for names of visiting relatives or proxies.
