But that all went out the window some time ago, as "vertical integration" crept into the lexicon, as a thing we were meant to admire, and cable television (and now the Internet) made the field competitive, ostensibly.
Finally, four endpoints were considered as suitable for the PK/PD analysis aiming at modelling the relationship between cimicoxib plasma concentrations and its antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects, namely: body temperature (antipyretic effect), creeping speed, vertical force of the paw and clinical lameness score (anti-inflammatory effects).
The main pharmacodynamic parameters (potency, efficacy, and sensitivity) were estimated for four endpoints (body temperature, creeping speed, ground vertical reaction force and clinical lameness score).
Red and blue curves are calculated velocities of elastic dislocation models for a vertical strike slip fault with a creeping rate of 4 and 6 mm/year, respectively.
The overall maximal effects for the two groups of dogs were 86% for the body temperature, 66% for the ground reaction vertical force and 76% for the creeping speed.
The vertical posture will also keep the bristles from creeping under the stencil.
A two-dimensional model is proposed to describe the creeping of a liquid film against a vertical wall due to surface tension gradients.
A simple dislocation model of vertical dextral fault with a shallow locking and a deep creeping of ~5 mm/year reproduces the observed velocity pattern across the SSZ.
Crystal Symphony The ship's free-standing vertical garden — the first of its kind at sea — consists of creeping figs, mistletoe cactuses and Song of India plants across a wall nearly 40 feet wide.
For rectal temperature, creeping speed, overall clinical lameness score and ground reaction vertical force, a nearly maximal effect of cimicoxib was predicted to occur for doses of 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 mg/kg, respectively.
