However, their incorporation was considered beyond the scope of the present study and thus ignored as these properties are relatively poorly assessed for the study region.
Finally, mTOR activity is relatively easily assessed, for example by assessing the phosphorylation state of S6, which is phosphorylated in the course of mTOR activation.
In this study, weight gain in pregnancy is relatively crudely assessed since it relies on just two measurements and therefore we are unable to look at different patterns of weight change in pregnancy on length of hospital stay.
As with the thermometer, which assigns a number to a clinical condition relatively easily assessed by clinical examination, the benefit may be to the physician (in terms of ease of management) rather than the patient (in terms of outcome).
In contrast, nonviral gene delivery is more acceptable in the clinic because biocompatible materials can be used, and the safety of these approaches is relatively easily assessed by pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies.
Therefore biochemical markers are receiving increased attention for their capability to detect earlier stages of the disease process, monitor the progress of destruction and prognose the development of arthritis, accurately and relatively quickly assess the efficacy of therapy.
Well trained physicians can relatively easily assess cardiovascular risk of their patients at regular health check-ups or when they see patients for other reasons.
Until relatively recently, assessing structural variation of genes and gene expression during thermal stress in non-model organisms has often been limited to few genes.
Boiling points were used relatively to assess the potential for inhalation exposures from different products; for example products that contain volatile ingredients with lower boiling points were considered to generate higher VOC exposures relative to others.
We chose these methods because they allow outsiders to relatively rapidly assess culture surrounding a focused area (in our case, the problem list) and to determine common and recurring themes.
