The RPmax was affected by the amount of GDMA-P added in adhesive resin irrespective of initiation system used; rate of polymerization values found were similar for CQ + EDAB and P3C-Sb + CQ + EDAB in lower (10%) and higher (40%) GDMA-P concentration.
In addition, clicks presented at the typically used rate of 50/second are potent elicitors of efferent activity.
In addition, in the linear regression model, we used rate of reduction in salivary flow as a continuous variable.
We used rate of root growth over 2 days from each time point as the dependent variable.
Results from the demonstration scenario are presented without discounting and with a discounting of up to 5%, to cover a range around the most commonly used rate of 3% in the literature [ 43].
In contrast to the previous studies where threshold-based outcomes such as CKD ≥3 or ESRD were used, in this study we used rate of renal decline as the quantitative measure of intensity of disease process leading to ESRD (4).
We used rate of coumarin 7-hydroxylation as a marker of Cd and Pb liver effects because the reaction is known to be catalyzed exclusively by CYP2A6, which is expressed predominantly in the liver (Rautio et al. 1992; Satarug et al. 1996, 2004a; Ujjin et al. 2002).
