For the study, designed to identify the best predictors, the researchers used data from 208 atrial fibrillation or «Afib» patients admitted to The Johns Hopkins Hospital to undergo
ablation between June 2010 and December 2015.

In effect, this UAV survey across the
ablation zone of the ice sheet perfectly bridges the gap
between people on the ground studying what's under their feet in just one part of the ice sheet, and the satellite data that shows what's going on across the entire ice sheet.
The success of RDN was compared
between those whose
ablation was complete (including main and accessory arteries) compared to those whose
ablation was incomplete (main arteries only).
There are interesting similarities
between the results of the current study and published data from leptin - deficient mice with genetic
ablation of the atrophic hormone myostatin (55, 56).
Evidence from glacial advance / retreat (e.g. the evidence from tropical Andean glaciers you cite above) is often difficult to interpret, because glacial mass balance represents in general a subtle competition
between the influences of
ablation (determined by changes in temperature thresholds reached) and accumulation (determined by changes in humidity and precipitation).
A two - way ANOVA revealed that there was no interaction
between temperature and
ablation of antennae (n.s. = non-significant, P = 0.15), and then Student's t - test was conducted for intergroup comparison (**, P < 0.01).
Recent physical approaches, including the
ablation of bonds
between cells using laser light, have revealed that mechanical tension on cell bonds is elevated along this anterior - posterior compartment boundary.
If ectopic gap junctions are the sole cause of the Unc - 7 phenotype, then laser
ablation of AVAs should eliminate communication
between these interneurons and the B motor neurons and restore normal forward locomotion; in conjunction with AVA
ablation, animals should be backward Unc (Figure 1).
C: the green line shows the attenuation of optical fluence in scattering tissue relative to the PNB thresholds for normal and prostate cancer (PC) cells, the difference
between these thresholds determines an effective radius of PNB - based selective
ablation of prostate cancer cells.
a) In the subsection «Cell type - specific NMDA - R pharmacology in cocaine - induced synaptic plasticity» we now more clearly introduce the Zweifel and Engblom studies as well as the differences
between them: both of which used genetic
ablation of Grin1 over 1 week but showed different results with respect to DA neuron synaptic potentiation, which was due to methodological challenges with AMP - R compensation.
There are interesting similarities
between the results of the current study and published data from leptin - deficient mice with genetic
ablation of the atrophic hormone myostatin (55, 56).
Concerning this effect, one should note that the measured
ablation differed by a factor of two
between the two years studied, even though annual mean snowfall was similar in both years.
The correlation
between annual net balance is higher for
ablation season temperature than for accumulation season precipitation.
Therefore, the processes of accumulation and
ablation are the physical link
between glaciers and climate, which explains why these ice bodies are such valuable tracers of climate variability on the scale of decades and centuries.
Comparison of
ablation rates and onsite temperature records in the case of the South Cascade Glacier, Easton Glacier, Ice Worm Glacier and Columbia Glacier yield a relationship
between air temperature and daily
ablation for snow and ice in SWE (Figure 1).
Comparison
between net annual balance for each glacier, and accumulation season and
ablation season conditions at NOAA Washington State Division 5 weather stations is presented in Table 5.
May
ablation rates
between Snotel sites are poorly correlated as are the daily
ablation rates, correlation coefficients ranging from 0.43 - 0.76.
Cross correlation of May monthly
ablation rates
between Snotel sites as a result is poor, as are the daily
ablation rates, correlation coefficients ranging from 0.43 - 0.76.
Annual balance is the difference
between annual snow accumulation and snow - firn - ice melt (
ablation).
Equilibrium line - The boundary
between the region on a glacier where there is a net annual loss of ice mass (
ablation area) and that where there is a net annual gain (accumulation area).
Dear Kenneth, when it warms, glaciers retreat until either a new equilibrium
between ablation and accumulation is found or until they disappear.
By the way Kenneth, you were commented on the line «when it warms, glaciers retreat until either a new equilibrium
between ablation and accumulation is found or until they disappear.»
When it is warm, ice melts faster and the glacier will retreat until it reaches a new equilibrium
between accumulation and
ablation.
Mass balance is the difference
between annual accumulation and annual
ablation (from melting and sublimation).
Data from point measurements are used to develop mathematical relationships
between accumulation and
ablation and elevation.
Mass balance (of glaciers, ice caps or ice sheets)- The balance
between the mass input to the ice body (accumulation) and the mass loss (
ablation, iceberg calving).
A question we'd like to be able to answer well is whether the balance
between accumulation of snow and ice and
ablation (melting, sublimation, and loss of ice to the ocean via iceberg calving) is positive or negative.
The difference
between the accumulation and
ablation for a given year describes the annual net mass balance, which corresponds to the change in glacier thickness and volume.
