Unlike in Zerai and Tsui [ 4], where a dichotomous indicator of ANC usage was used, a continuous index of the intensity of maternal and child health (MCH) service use was constructed based on a series of questions related to ANC, delivery care, and child vaccination in Hotchkiss et al. [ 5].
Images were acquired using a 63× oil immersion objective under continuous usage of a gray filter (20% density).
This consisted of side/prone positioning, temporary supplemental oxygen or usage of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a mayotube or nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) (Fig. 1).
Finally, there are two possibilities to capture concentration changes between two time points--the continuous, specified by the usage of a distance measure (e.g., Euclidean distance), and the binary, based on an appropriate definition of significant change.
Other hormonal interventions were continuous usage of an oral contraception pill during several months, placing of an intra-uterine device (IUD), or using estradiol patches around menstruation.
Although inefficient energy consumption in a conventional air-carpet system could be reduced significantly, the proposed method was still hindered by the continuous usage of an air compressor and maintenance of the nozzle exposed to sea water.
Application of membrane filtration to sugarcane juice refining is appealing because it can eliminate the usage of chemicals, achieve continuous and automated production, as well as produce superior quality of juice.
Detonation of a continuous rod warhead at China Lake, California.
This feature allows the usage of a moving mesh easily.
We report here that the usage of immobilized enzyme in a continuous packed bed reactor (PBR) can be a good alternative for GOS production instead of the traditional use of free enzyme in a batch reactor.
