This study compares newly obtained historical records of PCE concentrations in water samples (n = 88) with concentrations estimated using an exposure model employed in epidemiologic studies on the cancer risk associated with PCE-contaminated drinking water.
The same experimental conditions were simulated using a numerical model employing the modified volume heat source (MVHS) model.
In the experiments, the thermal manikin was regulated in a dynamic mode using a model of human thermoregulation and was employed to evaluate the fulfillment of the thermal comfort criteria.
Caution should also be employed in using a model at a spatial scale or temporal pattern for which it was not designed.
There are a number of issues to consider when interpreting the results of the present study and those previously conducted, such as sample sizes, controls used, model employed (in the case of animal studies) and adjustment for multiple testing.
The ANN approach encompassed supervised training using a multilayer perceptron model employing two hidden nodes with a sigmoidal transfer function.
Additionally, the second-order kinetic constant of the reaction between TA and HO● was determined using a competitive kinetic model, employing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4D) as the reference compound.
Pooled effect sizes were calculated using a random effects model employing the DerSimonian and Laird (1986) method, in OpenMeta[Analyst] (Wallace et al., 2009).
Using a linear regression model employing age, serum folate, vitamin B12, gender and eGFR as independent and Hcy or MMA as dependent variables revealed a highly significant (p < 0.001) inverse relationship of both Hcy and MMA with eGFR.
In this study, we examined the effects of W-LHIT, a natural product developed by our laboratory based on TCM, on HFD-induced obese mice using a previously employed C57BL/6 J murine model fed a 45% kcal HFD [ 26].
