These include information on vital status, type of pregnancy (singleton or multiple) and maternal age.
The following variables were collected: age, sex, body mass index, and admission simplified acute physiology score (SAPS) II [ 10], sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score [ 11], vital signs, type of shock, type of ventilation, drugs needed for the treatment of shock states, biochemical variables, blood cell count and coagulation variables.
Demographic and comorbidity data, relevant time points and dates, laboratory variables, triage categories and vital signs, type of antibiotics, amount and type of fluids (L), administered oxygen (L/min), disposition, and outcome variables were prospectively registered in the digital hospital information system Chipsoft Ezis (Chipsoft, Amsterdam, Netherlands) of each participating hospital.
The surfactants mixtures always exhibit superior properties compared to the single surfactants (Kang et al. 2001) and the effectiveness of extraction (Khan and Marques 1999) is also improved which is vital for many types of technical applications (Weschayanwiwat et al. 2008).
The ability to sense and respond to intra- and extracellular mechanical load is vital for many types of living cells to maintain their normal physiology.
Communication is vital for all types of social interaction, and is achieved by the interplay of three separate components, previously described for recognition systems: the expression, perception and action components.
Soil is a vital component in the functioning of ecosystems and a vital resource for all types of land use.
Understanding soil properties under different land use types along toposequences is vital in determining the types of soil management practices that could be implemented by smallholder farmers for improving the soil health as well as soil productivity.
This handout, updated regularly by the Graduate Division, provides vital information about the types of employment available to graduate students, relevant policies, and the qualifications and duties of each step in the GSI series.
