The CO2 concentration in the sediment is much larger than that in the water or atmosphere, and sediment organic matter can be some decades old and therefore have a considerable excess of 14C due to atomic bomb tests.
There is a considerable excess of probes with low p-values: 2402 probes have p<0.001, whereas only 371 are expected by chance.
The results of the analysis are shown in Figure 4 (central panel, illustrated by blue bars), and indicate that a predictable under-representation of simple negative feedback motifs is observed in ensembles of functional networks (as opposed to arbitrary networks) given that such topologies exhibit a considerable excess of negative (repressing) interactions.
In the GWAS study of Harold et al. [7] involving approximately 12,000 AD cases and controls, we observed a considerable excess of SNPs surpassing different thresholds of significance when compared with those expected by chance (Table 1), suggesting the existence of many LOAD susceptibility loci that were not detected at genome-wide significance.
Breast cancer and leukaemia have roughly average AYLL but a considerable excess of research spending.
1) Previous reports have indicated that U4atac is the least abundant of the minor spliceosomal snRNAs and that there was a considerable excess of free U6atac.
Since MCM2 7 double hexamers are loaded in a considerable excess over the amount of ORC, it has been proposed that the destabilization of the ORC, CDC6 and CDT1 complex that occurs when origins are licensed could provide a mechanism for distributing replication origins along chromosomal DNA [70].
As the slow-exchange mutant cells could make up to four buds simultaneously without overexpression or any increase in ploidy, all cell components required for budding must be present in considerable excess of what is required to make a functioning polarity site.
When ZHP is precipitated with considerable excess of H3PO4, significant amount of –OPO3H2 groups is formed (compare Fig. 4a and d).
The formation of simple CA–(P HCA complexes can be neglected because of the considerable excess of Al III) ions which form (P HCA complexes of superior stability [43].
The experiment we think the reviewers were actually suggesting is probably one in which the enzyme is in considerable excess of the substrate.
