Assuming the well established value of bending modulus k = 10-12 erg [16], the recalculated coefficients of the surface tension are found in the interval of σ ~ 0.01-0.02 dyn/cm.
The LD50 for the s.c. route of delivery of the ΔyscN Y. pestis CO92 mutant was greater than 3.2×106 CFU in the Swiss-Webster model of plague (Table 1), which is in a strong contrast to the well established value of LD50 of 1 2 CFU for the wild-type Y.
Given their specificity for type 1 diabetes [ 6], however, this does not detract from their well established value, in combination with other autoantibodies, in assessing risk of the disease [ 6, 10, 20], but does illustrate how useful biomarkers need not necessarily have associations with genetic markers that confer susceptibility to disease.
The results are compared with available experimental data and it is found that important quantities like Strouhal numbers and drag coefficients match well with established values.
Previous work showed that this rheometer produces reasonable results and that the parameters obtained with the rheometer compare well with other established values.
Standardized techniques with well established normal values are available for sensory and motor nerve conduction studies (NCS), standard concentric needle electromyography (EMG), single fiber EMG, and autonomic studies.
Although the need to optimize blood glucose control periconceptionally is now well established, A1C values fall with pregnancy duration (18), leading some expert bodies to recommend that A1C should not be routinely used for assessing glycemic control beyond the first trimester (14).
The causative role for WNV was confirmed by the following factors: 1) the detection of WNV-specific IgM, in the absence of IgM response to the other flavivirus, in combination with the variation of PRNT titer in S1 and S2; 2) the evidence of intrathecal WNV IgG by ELISA and WNV antibodies by PRNT, according to well established cutoff values (3 ); and 3) the detection of WNV-specific IgM in CSF.
Although the value of routine oxytocics to reduce postpartum haemorrhage after vaginal birth has been well established, their value in caesarean section has received little attention.
For Bi2Se3, rs = 0.09 with ϵ = 40 for dielectric half-space, and applicability of the RPA is well established (the value of rs for another material Bi2Te3 is close to that for Bi2Se3).
Last, it is worth to recall that the analysis shows how the European quality certifications are not well established and valued by Italian EVOO consumers; this is at least true in this high market segment where consumers seem to value more other clues directly related to the production process and to the production area.
