Stages stage defined

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) developed a classification system for CKD (Table 23-11.1 The staging system defines the stages of CKD based on GFR level, but also accounts for evidence of kidney damage in the absence of changes in GFR, as in stage 1 CKD. The GFR is calculated using the abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation ... 

It would be fitting at this stage to define in detail the various carbon species for this review, as often different terms are used in the literature. A representation of the various carbon species is shown in Figure 4.2. Surface carbide or atomic carbon can be defined as isolated carbon atoms with only carbon-metal bonds, resulting from CO dissociation or disproportionation, the latter of which is not favored on cobalt at normal FTS conditions. Recent theoretical and experimental work has indicated that the CO dissociation is preferred at the step sites, so absorbed surface carbide is expected to be located near these sites.44-46... 

Figure 9.2 illustrates the various inputs and outputs of a model built to demonstrate the 5-year results of therapy with entacapone (Comtan1 ), which represents a novel pharmacological principle used in combination with levodopa therapy. The inputs list the data fed into the model. The clinical effects of the therapy are taken from the clinical trials. The costs by disease stage are defined as costs for >25% OFF time per day (severe stage) and costs for <25% OFF time per day (less severe) and are taken from literature sources. Patient preference data (used to calculate QALYs) for these two disease stages are taken from a separate study of patient preferences. The outputs of the model list some of the more common uses of the model ... 

The design and development of the product is controlled, and the design and development stages are defined. The review, verification, and validation that are appropriate to each design and development stage, and the responsibilities and authorities for design and development are clearly defined and assigned. 

For each stage, each stream is split into a number of streams equal to the number of potential matches which are directed to the exchangers representing each potential match. The outlets of each exchanger feature the same temperature and are mixed at a mixing point where the temperature of the considered stream at the next stage is defined. 

The concept of the transfer factor can be taken back a stage by defining... 

The material balance of each leach stage is defined by the design equation of a stirred tank reactor (7),... 

The simple stage model. The ideal or equilibrium stage was defined and discussed earlier (Sec. 2,1). The material and energy flows in and out of a simple stage, with no feeds or side products, is depicted in Fig. 

Equilibrium composition of the vapor for the Murphree vaporization efficiency, component i, stage / defined by Eq. (4.20). 

The efficiency of this type of reactor was examined by Maruoka (1982) and Stichlmayr (1979) using the C02 desorption from water in air as a case study. The mass transfer efficiency for each stage was defined as... 

Stage IV Declining Rate. Definition. The declining rate stage is defined as a period of decreasing rate of reaction which tends to approach a limit in the amount of reactant consumed, or product produced (zero rate), under the prevailing conditions of temperautre, irradiance, partial pressure of oxygen, concentration of reactants, etc. 

It is convenient at this stage to define a geometry factor r as r = -2... 

Generally, the degree of dementia correlates with the sites and severity of tau-based NFT accumulation (Holzer et al., 1994). Based on the manner of NFT formation on various brain areas of the AD patient, during the course of disease development, six neuropathological stages are defined.
