For all the active ports, using port's communication difference balance metric B, based on the two-class EM algorithm in section 3.3, we can compute the classification threshold of the normal and the abnormal port.
However, elevations in BP that do not exceed the upper threshold of the normal range (SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg) may also pose risks to the mother and child.
Use of improved animal models of human disease will enable research on temporal aspects of dose response relationships for harmful agents or lifestyle factors, facilitating the discovery of molecular signatures of thresholds separating the normal stress response from pathology.
We next assessed for a potential threshold within the normal range of the WBC count, above which diabetes risk increases significantly.
These mouse models suggests that there is a threshold of expression of the normal allele below which the abnormal phenotype will develop (Pereira et al., 1999; Dietz and Mecham, 2000).
Interestingly, even though the patient correctly identified sweet, salty and bitter stimuli, and the thresholds of each were normal or slightly high normal, her ratings of the intensity of the three stimuli were low and not concentration dependent.
To avoid considering FISH artifacts as false-positive chromosome losses or gains, we have introduced two independent approaches: QFISH and interphase chromosome-specific MCB, allowing accurate definition of the normal thresholds of aneuploidy in human somatic cells [15], [19].
This may explain why optimal cutoff value of T/N ratio could be 1.23 in small lesions (MTV ≤ 0.5), although MTV was measured by applying a threshold 1.3 times the SUVmean of the normal gray matter from previous studies.
When this threshold value was used, none of the normal sera was found positive.
For discrimination of the disease activity, CK testing requires the use of a different threshold than the upper limit of the normal.
The data imply that DrotAA treatment decreases mortality in two ways: by raising protein C levels above 40% of the normal threshold, and by reducing the number of moderately deficient patients and normal patients who had a decrease in their baseline protein C levels ≥ 10%.
