The common practice of calculating vascular resistance as the ratio of mean pressure and mean flow on a beat-to-beat basis during non-steady-state conditions in a compliant vascular bed ignores that varying amounts of blood can be stored in the compliance 'reservoir' due to the blood acceleration or deceleration (Essler et al. 1999; Shim et al. 1994; Toorop et al. 1987).
Taken together, our results indicate that patients with early SSc or UCTD in whom a scleroderma-like functional internal organ involvement has been detected should be regarded as being affected by SSc and, therefore, challenge the time-honoured practice of calculating the duration of SSc starting from the first non-RP symptom.
To compare the methods of calculating practice deprivation scores in the absence of patient-level data.
Mr. Fisher also called for less reliance on "smoothing," the practice of averaging factors over several years when pension values are calculated.
Nevertheless, these results show that the practice that calculates the allowable bearing capacity of the pile supporting the vibrating machine by applying the current design criteria may be excessively conservative and uneconomical designs.
The mean of the practice means was calculated, together with the 95% confidence interval around this 'mean of the means'.
Using the intercept and the variance component at practice level, the mean number of treatment sessions in 95% of the practices was calculated to be between 6.6 and 13.4.
In practice, for discrete signal, instead of calculating wavelet ψ(x) and scaling function φ(x), a high pass filter H and a low pass filter L will be applied to calculate MWR.
Two methods of calculating the relative need of practices were published [ 6, 7].
Instead of calculating needs weights for each unique individual in each practice, then summing them to obtain a practice weighting, we calculated the needs weights for groups of individuals (38 age-sex groups) for each unique practice.
