Effects of Incremental Starvation on Gut Mucosa

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2003
Starvation induces gut mucosal atrophy, but the effects of progressive dietary restriction are not defined. The study's purpose was to determine the effects of incremental starvation on gut epithelial cell turnover. After food intake of mice was determined, they were divided into five groups: control (ad libitum fed), 75% normal intake, 50% intake, 25%

Incremental stress effects in transistors

Solid-State Electronics, 1967
Abstract This paper reports on some studies of incremental stress effects in transistors. Theoretical and experimental work was carried out using planar transistors with the stresses applied perpendicular to the emitter-base junction. It was found that the applied incremental stress principally affects the base resistance, due to the piezo-resistive ...

Incremental cost‐effectiveness of double‐reading mammograms

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 1999
Double reading is a widely used criterion standard in breast cancer screening despite a lack of evidence of the cost-effectiveness of the second reading. This study evaluates the incremental cost-effectiveness of such a strategy.Cost-effectiveness analysis: Nationwide population-based semi-annual screening program for women aged 50-59 in Finland ...

Cost-effectiveness analysis and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2004
Cost-effectiveness analysis is a formal method of comparing alternative medical interventions with regard to their resource utilization (costs) and outcomes (effectiveness). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio is an informative measure generated from such an analysis and represents the ratio of the difference in cost between two medical ...

Cost-effectiveness, QALYs, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios

Seminars in Spine Surgery, 2014
The cost of healthcare in the United States has continued to grow at an unsustainable rate. Spine care has not been immune to these elevating costs. Given the current economic environment, policy makers and payers have started to consider a move towards a system of value-based healthcare.

Incremental net effects in multiple regression

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
A regular problem in regression analysis is estimating the comparative importance of the predictors in the model. This work considers the ‘net effects’, or shares of the predictors in the coefficient of the multiple determination, which is a widely used characteristic of the quality of a regression model.

Hall-Effect Incremental Angle Encoder

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 1963
This paper describes a magnetic angle-encoder development utilizing two microminiature Hall-effect probes and a single-track magnetic drum. This approach to angle encoding and measurement offers possibilities for developing compact and higher-resolution angle encoders for inertial guidance and space platform applications.

Incremental effects of reward on creativity.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2001
The authors examined 2 ways reward might increase creativity. First, reward contingent on creativity might increase extrinsic motivation. Studies 1 and 2 found that repeatedly giving preadolescent students reward for creative performance in 1 task increased their creativity in subsequent tasks.

Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs): The silence of the lambda

Social Science & Medicine, 2006
Despite the central role of the threshold incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), or lambda (lambda), in the methods and application of cost-effective analysis (CEA), little attention has been given to the determining the value of lambda. In this paper we consider 'what explains the silence of the lambda'?
