It is therefore easier to interpret a difference in the relative incidence of adverse outcomes by means of longitudinal comparisons than by means of transversal comparisons.
The "transversal approach" implies comparison between aged and young subjects, as in laboratory animal studies of aging mechanisms at the cell and tissue level [ 2].
The prevalence of anemia at the end of the follow-up period in our cohort was only slightly lower than that previously reported in transversal studies, but comparison is difficult due to the significant differences in study design and patient populations.
Additionally, the residual ratio (CAI/CBI) increased up to 30% and 28% for the transversal and angular reinforcements respectively in comparison to the reference.
The first aims to show the model's ability to reproduce the failure of the masonry for transversal damage; the others deal with comparisons with classical small scale and structural scale experimental tests.
Similarities and differences between plant and animal genome structure and evolution have long been a source of intense investigations, mainly based on few genomes comparisons or lacking a unified and transversal approach to perform comparative genomics in both kingdoms (Kejnovsky et al. 2009).
Concluding high accuracy model, its accuracy could reach high order shear deformation theory (HOSDT) in some applications, new convergence model for analysis of axially FGB, great influence of shear correction factor in Timoshenko beam and finally a good comparison between thermo-mechanical loading in axial and transversal FGBs.
The FBCT and CBCT images, as well as the corresponding CT value-electron density curves, were used to calculate the same IMRT plan, and comparison was performed for the dose distribution on transversal, sagittal, and coronal planes at the isocentric position, including isodose lines on the three planes and the gamma pass rates between the two calculated results.
The protocol included transversal projections of both the affected and normal shoulders to enable comparison with the normal anatomy.
A conventional transversal histological section of the chicken cornea is also shown for comparison (Fig. 1(a)).
