Propofol wash-in. by Anne S. Fleiner (20496284)

“…(i) There was no difference in the change in the post-burst area between any of the concentrations of propofol used following 5 minutes of wash-in (MWU test; 0 μM: n = 10; 3 μM: n = 8; 10 μM: n = 10). (ii) A significantly larger decrease in post-burst spikes was observed after wash-in of both 3 μM and 10 μM propofol compared to the control (0 μM). …”

Correlation of Cervical Cancer Mortality with Fertility, Access to Health Care and Socioeconomic Indicators by Diama Bhadra Vale (6879314)

“…In the multivariate analysis, only fertility rate was significantly associated with the CC mortality rate (coefficient of correlation: 9.38; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.16-13.59). Conclusion A decrease in the fertility rate, as expected when the level of development of the regions increases, is related to a decrease in the mortality rate of CC. …”

Local sensitivity analysis of baseline simulation. by Josua O. Aponte-Serrano (9904912)

“…Note that τ_IRF7 has a large response in baseline IFN_e Max because the baseline value for τ_IRF7 lies near the stability criterion of <i>τ</i>_<i>IRF7</i> > 0.75, so the 25% decrease leads to a numerically unstable system.…”

Female motorcycle mortality in Brazilian municipalities, 2005, 2010 and 2015 by Pedro Cisalpino Pinheiro (6070499)

The percentage variation showed a reduction in the indicator analyzed in the period between 2010 and 2015 for the largest municipalities in the South and Southeast regions. …”

Assessment of oscillatory potential (OP) amplitude profiles. by Jake Bedore (777372)

“…Quantification of summed OP amplitude for the four OPs measured over the four largest stimulus strengths (0.63–25 cd˖s /m²) under scotopic conditions measured shows a significant decrease in VAChT^{Six3-Cre-flox/flox} retinas (open circles) relative to littermate controls (VAChT^flox/flox, closed squares) at (I) 5 (n = 7 VAChT^{Six3-Cre-flox/flox} and n = 12 littermate control) and (J) 12 months of age (n = 5 VAChT^{Six3-Cre-flox/flox} and n = 5 littermate control). …”

Cenosphere Formation during Single-Droplet Combustion of Heavy Fuel Oil by Long Jiang (572479)

“…Impacts of operation conditions (initial HFO droplet size, temperature, and air co-flow rate) and asphaltene content on cenosphere formation in a drop tube furnace were then investigated. Three types of cenosphere morphology were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), namely, larger hollow globules, medium porous cenospheres, and smaller cenospheres with a perfectly spherical and smooth structure. …”
