The explanatory variables calculated based on the distance vector of areas above sea level d, were minimum distance (( d_{{ ( {text{min)}}}} )), and the mean of the ( k ) smaller distances of areas above sea level (( d_{ k)} )).
As such, we include a vector of area-level dummies interacted with mother's year of birth to account for these community-specific unobserved trends and test for residual confounding.
end{aligned} (2 with (floodplain access) a vector of unitless floodplain area values, scour the scour in meters, and (scour_{min}) the user-defined threshold scour value.
The optimization model (23) developed in section 2 can be summarized by (36), where ({varvec{P}}_{{{text{AC}},d}}) and ({varvec{P}}_{{{text{AC}},fs}}) are the decision vector and fuzzy stochastic vector of the AC area, and ({varvec{P}}_{{{text{DC}},d}}) and ({varvec{P}}_{{{text{DC}},fs}}) are the decision vector and fuzzy stochastic vector of the DC area, respectively.
An. arabiensis remained as the potential vector of the urban area of Antananarivo, rice fields are their principal breeding sites.
The strong inducibility in hypoxia that is conferred by the minimal CA9 promoter may be of use in targeting gene therapy vectors to areas of tumour hypoxia (Dachs et al, 1997).
Here, ỹ sim is a 5 × 1 vector of simulated hypoxic areas for a given five-year period, ỹ is the predicted (i.e., mean) response, u is a vector of independent samples from a standard normal distribution, and C is the upper-triangular matrix obtained by Cholesky decomposition of the covariance matrix for the predictions (eq 10).
14 The high proportion of HBI 18 and the moderately frequent occurrence of An. marshalli indoors suggests a need for further investigations into its potential role as a vector of malaria in this area and other areas in Ethiopia.
Let us consider a method for computing matrix K C. We divide whole displacement vector into two parts: U = ( U C U R ), where U C is vector of displacements in junction area, U R is vector of displacements in all other nodes.
In a study performed in two creeks in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, Calhoun et al. (2007) found that streams that received nutrient pulses from CSO systems had increased numbers of Cx. quinquefasciatus, the main vector of WNV in the area.
