(13) The degree of radiosensitization for both survival and rates of alkaline and neutral elution are dependent on percentage BrdU substitution and independent of whether BrdU is in one strand only (monofilar) or both strands (bifilar) of the DNA duplex: e.g., for 16% BrdU substitution distributed either monofilarly or partially bifilarly, there is an enhancement factor for Do of 1.55.

Example Sentences:
(1) They could go out and trade for a pitcher such as the New York Mets’ Bartolo Colón , an obvious choice despite his 41 years, but he would come with an $11m price tag for next season and have to pass through the waiver wires process first – considering the wily mood Billy Beane is in this year, the A’s could be the team that blocks such a move.
(2) The solution to these problems would seem either to reduce the time spent in rectangular wires or to change to a bracket with reduced torque, together with appropriate second order compensations in the archwire or the bracket.
