While EMS has been the mutagen of choice for many TILLING projects [ 19, 22- 28], a relatively low number of EMS-induced mutations were reported for the indica rice variety IR64 when treated with 0.8% and 1% EMS [ 27] and initial EMS treatments of the reference japonica variety Nipponbare resulted in insufficient seed germination due to toxicity (Tai and Colowit, unpublished observations).
Hence regarding the comparison of the SP treatment to the reference treatment AQ, the parameter e-0.502 e-0.502 (95% CI 0.44-0.82) is interpreted as a hazards ratio which is assumed constant regardless the response category.
Tg and wt mice, treated with lithium or saline 0.9% were tested at week 5 of treatment in the reference memory version of MWM.
Baseline SLD, measured ≤4 weeks before start of treatment, is the reference for assessment of tumour response.
Moreover, costs of care for patients were estimated based on the mean duration of treatment in the reference clinical trial.
Partially revising Halliday and Hasan's (1976) classic treatment of the role of reference in Cohesion for discourse semantics, Martin (1992) distinguishes between the systems of Presenting (typically indefinite) and Presuming (typically definite) reference within the function of Participant identification.
However, the only randomized dose-escalation trial, in which the boost dose was guided by conventional MRI, did not show any survival advantage of this treatment over the reference arm.
Considering the long time required for negativation of conventional serology and the high sensitivity of PCR applicable for cure control, the conventional serological tests have been ruled out of the most recent cure criteria that recommend the use of PCR after immunosuppression, performed 30 days after the end of the etiological treatment, as the "reference standard criteria" for cure assessment.
Women were classified into one of four exposure categories based on their hormone medication use patterns: (1) TAM only, (2) AI only, (3) switchers, and (4) nonusers of hormone treatment (the reference group).
