The original strip, originated by Dave Donaldson, written by Steve Bright and mostly drawn by John Geering until his death in 1999, is essentially a parody of Superman with shades of Captain Marvel and his British twin, Marvelman and occasionally other Silver Age characters, while also combining comic slapstick with a heavy dose of eccentric British humour similar to Alan Moore's contemporary work on Captain Britain.

Increased incidences of fetal structural abnormalities and other manifestations of developmental toxicity ( embryolethality, growth retardation ) were observed in the offspring of animals ( rats and rabbits ) treated with either oxcarbazepine or its active 10-hydroxy metabolite ( MHD ) during pregnancy at doses similar to the maximum recommended human dose.

However, no experienced user of 2C-E has recommended doses this large for any newcomer ; an appropriate starting dose might be between seven and twenty milligrams for someone intending to consume 2C-E recreationally, depending on how experienced the new user is with similar drugs.

A similar experiment was done on rats with the leaves and stems of P. cordatum, but instead of oral administration of the dose, it was injected intraperitoneally using 3 g of plant extract from either the leaves or stems.

Desmopressin ( 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin, DDAVP ) was given to 17 children with attention & learning disorders daily for 10 days in a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study ; memory & learning were improved compared with placebo ; the same study failed to find similar benefits after administration of a single dose.

A 30 minute intravenous infusion of a similar dose usually produces peak plasma levels on the order of 1 – 3 mg / L.

Birkett ( 2003 ) defined bioequivalence by stating that, " two pharmaceutical products are bioequivalent if they are pharmaceutically equivalent and their bioavailabilities ( rate and extent of availability ) after administration in the same molar dose are similar to such a degree that their effects, with respect to both efficacy and safety, can be expected to be essentially the same.

The United States Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has defined bioequivalence as, " the absence of a significant difference in the rate and extent to which the active ingredient or active moiety in pharmaceutical equivalents or pharmaceutical alternatives becomes available at the site of drug action when administered at the same molar dose under similar conditions in an appropriately designed study.

According to regulations applicable in the European Economic Area two medicinal products are bioequivalent if they are pharmaceutically equivalent or pharmaceutical alternatives and if their bioavailabilities after administration in the same molar dose are similar to such a degree that their effects, with respect to both efficacy and safety, will be essentially the same.

This ionization may cause a highly localized effect similar to the transient dose one-a benign glitch in output, a less benign bit flip in memory or a register or, especially in high-power transistors, a destructive latchup and burnout.

Pentostatin is chemically similar to cladribine, and has a similar success rate and side effect profile, but it is always given over a much longer period of time, usually one dose by IV infusion every two weeks for three to six months.

Also for the 1 Gy dose delivered over 8. 77 to 18. 3 hours that the biological effect ( neoplastic transformation ) was about 1. 5 times smaller than that which that had been observed using a single high dose rate of X-ray photons of similar energy.

They have similar lethal dose levels to VX ( between 10-50 mg ) and have similar symptoms and method of action to other nerve agents that act on cholinesterase.

They have similar lethal dose levels to VX ( between 10-50 mg ) and have similar symptoms and method of action to other nerve agents that act on cholinesterase, and treatment remains the same, but the window for effectively treating second generation V series seizures is shorter.

Nevertheless, it is unclear as to whether this strategy is better than increasing a maintenance dose of Symbicort or similar combined inhaler.

In Cyrillic originally the letters were given names based on Slavic words ; this was later abandoned as well in favor of a system similar to that used in Latin.

Though the title " abbot " is not given in the Western Church to any but actual abbots of monasteries today, the title archimandrite is given to " monastics " ( i. e., celibate ) priests in the East, even when not attached to a monastery, as an honor for service, similar to the title of monsignor in the Western / Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church.

Thus the discovery report by the Berkeley group reads: " It is suggested that element 97 be given the name berkelium ( symbol Bk ) after the city of Berkeley in a manner similar to that used in naming its chemical homologue terbium ( atomic number 65 ) whose name was derived from the town of Ytterby, Sweden, where the rare earth minerals were first found.

Further, they opposed the creation of an electoral college to elect the leader of the Party, who had previously been elected by members of the Parliamentary Labour Party – in particular, the arrangement of block voting by constituency parties and trade unions, with the total votes of a constituency party or trade union being given to a candidate based on a first-past-the-post within that CLP or union, or changed at the discretion of delegates ( similar to primary elections in the United States ).

A similar form may be given for and so on.

* Biome: a grouping of terrestrial ecosystems on a given continent that are similar in vegetation structure, physiognomy, features of the environment and characteristics of their animal communities

In the hypothetical situation that a given coastline has this property of self-similarity, then no matter how greatly any one small section of coastline is magnified, a similar pattern of smaller bays and promontories superimposed on larger bays and promontories appears, right down to the grains of sand.

The higher-dimensional chain rule can be proved using a technique similar to the second proof given above.

Currying is similar to the process of calculating a function of multiple variables for some given values on paper.

A story similar in character, and obviously older in date, is the one alluded to in 2 Maccabees 1: 18 et seq according to which the relighting of the altar fire by Nehemiah was due to a miracle which occurred on the 25th of Kislev, and which appears to be given as the reason for the selection of the same date for the rededication of the altar by Judah Maccabee.

A similar argument can be used to show that if we imagine the slit to be divided into four, six, eight parts, etc., minima are obtained at angles θ < sub > n </ sub > given by

In a similar way to aluminium salts, indium ( III ) ions can be toxic to the kidney when given by injection, but oral indium compounds do not have the chronic toxicity of salts of heavy metals, probably due to poor absorption in basic conditions.
