Rayleigh vector plots (custom software designed in house by Dr T. Brown and El Temps, Dr. A. Díez-Noguera, Barcelona, Spain) were used to assess the significance of phase clustering of peak phases in relation to circadian time (CT) or to time from culture preparation.
To evaluate the significance of phase locking, we utilize the circular mean of the phase difference (6) λ m, n = | 〈 exp (i Ψ m, n (t ) ) 〉 | = | ((1 t N ) ∑ l = 1 N exp (i Ψ m, n (t l ) ) ) | In a perfect locking λ m, n = |exp iΨ0)| = 1, and λ m, n → 0 when Ψm,n(t) is randomly distributed.
The clinical states of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, plateau phase disease, and smoldering myeloma all suggest that a significant host-tumor interaction is taking place.
Yet, direct evidence for human CYP2E1-activated mutagenicity of benzene and the exact significance of phase II metabolism for inactivating benzene metabolites are still missing.
The functional significance of phase synchronisation lies in the fact that it enables the engagement of target neurons and facilitation of inter-regional interaction with the appropriate phase differences while simultaneously suppressing out of phase neural inputs [12].
Then the histogram was calculated with 20 degree bin size, and a Rayleigh's test was performed to determine the significance of phase modulation of theta oscillations.
Although the functional significance of phase II facets is still debated [42], [60], [71] [72], similarities between Australian aborigines and the Qafzeh specimens may suggest the exploitation of a broad dietary spectrum including animal proteins and plant foods.
Given the significance of phase change in locust outbreaks and control, its triggering processes have been widely investigated.
In summary, our study has demonstrated the prognostic significance of phase angle in advanced NSCLC after controlling for the effects of stage at diagnosis and prior treatment history.
The threshold z score of α level 1.96 corresponds to a probability of less than 5% and expresses the statistical significance for phase preference.
