Variable coefficients for industrial NPRI proximity variables were extremely sensitive to monitor selection.
The NO2 model was the least sensitive to monitor selection, with a bootstrap R 95% CI of 65 81.
The NO2 and PM2.5 models were least sensitive to monitor selection, whereas models for VOCs were more sensitive likely because of the smaller number of monitors on which LUR estimates were based (n = 53).
This marker of inflammation homeostasis seems more specific and sensitive to monitor septic patients as compared with C-reactive protein, or even cytokines that are not so easy to routinely measure.
We estimated the effect of exposures limited to the population within a set of distance radii: 3 km, 5 km, and 10 km from monitors to assess whether effect estimates were sensitive to monitor distance from the mother's residential census tract or ZCTA.
McCarthy and colleagues [ 34] studied a group of 39 patients for 10 years and found no correlation between XR changes and serum urate concentration, and this suggests that XR may not be sufficiently sensitive to monitor change in bony damage over this time frame.
Both donor quenching and sensitized emission of the acceptor could be used as sensitive signals to monitor folding processes of quadruplex DNA.
The comet assay seems to be a more sensitive method to monitor genotoxic effects than the micronuclei assay; in addition, Hsp70 induction may be an early and sensitive response to cellular stress (Galvano et al. 2002).
Here, we aimed to employ plasma s-Met as a sensitive biomarker to monitor c-Met status in lung cancer tumors and explored the sensitivity and specificity of plasma s-Met in diagnosis.
The development of extremely sensitive detectors to monitor such explosions has contributed to the maintenance of the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, which was signed in 1963 and banned all tests of nuclear weapons except those conducted underground so as to limit the amount of radioactive fallout in the atmosphere.
