In the baseline scenario, the growth of labour productivity is set to 1.3 % (its average level over the past 20 years).
Both baseline and follow-up questionnaires were analyzed for 47 subjects (completers).
Future studies should address whether long-term bereavement outcomes differ by baseline caregiving characteristics to guide intervention research.
Tables 1 and 2 show the sociodemographic and baseline clinical characteristics of our sample.
Physicians' gender and study site were unrelated to baseline attitudes or to attitudinal change.
In addition to assessments of symptomatology and life events at baseline, we also recorded personality status.
There was no association between level of fatigue at baseline, and time between onset of symptoms and interview.
Similarly, there were no significant correlations between fatigues scores and cortisol parameters at baseline, 3 or 6 months.
A total of 7076 subjects were enlisted at baseline.
Ratings were made for each patient's typical functioning in the month before the baseline evaluation.
We first describe our training and test data, then give results obtained with the baseline word-based, stem-based, and noun-based language models.
The classifiers perform quite well at all tasks, and even the 14-way task far exceeds the baseline.
The other feature groups, although outperforming the baseline (with only one exception), prove to be much less informative to the machine learning system.
The baseline is the match of the verb of a candidate bigram with one of the most common collocates of the lf in question.
Training with 1 million words performed even worse than the baseline.
When there were no learning data, entry with three or four buttons required more keystrokes than the baseline value.
The data are expressed for each group because the difference in the number of blinks post-treatment with baseline.
Section 2 develops our baseline third-generation crisis model.
The first column in the table reports the optimal stationary policy for the baseline economy.
We find that the baseline spirit-of-capitalism model produces a low risk-free rate, and may thus resolve the risk-free rate puzzle.
In addition, there is a deviation in support from the baseline component.
The baseline result is that the difference is 9 percentage points in the acceptance rate in favour of co-decision.
The change in response rate is dimensionless if postdisruption response rate is expressed relative to its baseline.
Negative behavioral contrast is obtained on return to baseline, as in the studies described above.
Only one factor, negative mood state at baseline (among the care recipients), was significantly associated in the experimental group with reduced carer distress at follow-up.

She thus provides a baseline for future study of variation and change in speaking patterns within the region.
Therefore, baseline- and retest results are only reported for the remaining 139 patients that completed the study.
Documenting their courses of action helps them manage schedules and expectations and provides baselines against which to assess progress and performance.
By measuring congruent and neutral baselines in each session, we were able to control for general practice and learning effects.
Topics covered include coastal baselines, mining on the international seabed, fishing, marine pollution, and military uses.
The baselines presented are calculated according to condition.
Still, systems do perform much better than the baselines, so something is being done right.
We have directly compared and contrasted the results of our system with a variety of baselines and have demonstrated superior results.
Many scientists acknowledge that operant techniques provide useful baselines for assessing the effects of drugs, physiological manipulations, knockout genes, and so on.
Different interpretations of this objection arise as we consider different baselines against which improvement and worsening occur.
Additionally, baselines for a general evaluation are not immediately obvious, and the aims of the changes are very general and capable of different interpretations.
Results indicated a 59% decrease in total daily hot flashes and a 70% decrease in weekly hot flash scores from their baselines.
However, these measures cannot be meaningfully computed for the first and third baselines.

We test several variations of the trigram supertagging model which are intended to serve as baselines to which we can compare the smoothing techniques currently under investigation.
Low daytime cortisol baselines and blunted cortisol responses to stressors are not always found in children or adults who, presumably, have experienced more adverse life histories.
