Theories of economic incentives are largely based on a hypothesis of self-interest, while theories on public service motivation and intra-occupational norms - including medical ethics - would predict more altruistic preferences among GPs.
Supporting the hypothesis of self-recruitment, a previous study [ 42] showed that in P. elegans the genetic connectivity is higher among the North Sea populations with planktonic larvae, but local recruitment rates are also likely to be high in all populations.
For instance, a value of nine percent would lead to rejection of the hypothesis of self-financing at the five percent significance level using the pooled data.
Let S represent a gene set of interest and SC represent the complement of S. The null hypothesis of self-contained gene set methods is HoSC: Gene expression levels of all genes in S are NOT associated with the phenotype, while the null hypothesis for competitive methods is HoC: Genes in S are associated with the phenotype as much as genes in SC.
The hypothesis of self-referential systems theory is that this selectivity is conditioned by external references.
If we had used a larger value in the tests above, the results would clearly be less favorable to the hypothesis of self-financing.
The hypothesis of self-assembly driven by chemical incompatibility between the amphiphilic chitosan and nucleic acid grafts is supported further by stability of the self-assembly against ionic strength and pH variations.
For kauri, the general hypothesis of self-thinning is supported by the observations of self-thinning made by Steward ([2011]) from plantation trees and Burns and Smale ([1990]) in second-growth natural stands.
According to the hypothesis of self-promoted uptake, the electrostatic attraction between the negatively charged LPS and the cationic peptide is important for the interaction of the peptides with the bacterial surface [ 30, 31].
A theory under consideration strengthens a hypothesis about a self-similar structure of the two-phase zone.
Latent class analysis is a hypothesis free self-organization of data according to clusters, and as shown in Fig. 1, this latent class analysis discriminates very well between the different courses of wheezing diseases in early childhood while clinical classification does not.
