The output provided a clear indication that (i) in mussels the stress level rose along with the concentration of the two chemicals and (ii) animals exposed to mixtures presented a better health status index than those exposed to single chemicals at the same nominal degree of toxicity.
However, it does not appear that apoptosis plays a major role in the death of malignant glioma cells treated with 17 α-AED as shown by the nominal degree of DNA fragmentation; lack of caspase 3 cleavage and PARP cleavage as compared to sham-treated glioma cells.
As a nominal level of significance, alpha = 0.05 was accepted.
Thin films with different nominal degrees of complexation were studied using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, conductivity measurements, and polarised optical microscopy.
One key statistic for any time series is its (effective) degrees of freedom, df, which will generally be less than the number of time points (or nominal degrees of freedom, N).
We show that seed voxel correlations corrected for locally variable df could be tested for false positive connectivity with better control over Type I error and greater specificity of anatomical mapping than probabilistic connectivity maps using the nominal degrees of freedom.
In which case, nothing may be better than this past weekend's rerelease of Monsters, Inc., the superb Pixar comedy -- now enhanced, to a more-or-less nominal degree, with 3D -- about a couple of skilled child scarers coming undone when a young target manages to sneak into their city.
We used a nominal alpha level of 0.1.
Comparisons included the following main factors: i) colony-of-origin of the ant (nominal), colony-of-origin of the fungus (nominal); ii) time since start of the experiment (nominal); iii) degree of Pseudonocardia inhibition of the cultivar (continuous, in cm ZOI); and iv) degree of cultivar inhibition of Pseudonocardia (continuous, in cm ZOI).
This result confirms that, even during the most severe global financial crisis of post-World War II history, a high degree of downward nominal wage rigidity persisted deviating little from firms' usual practice during nonrecessionary periods, based on past survey evidence from developed nations such as Switzerland and the United States7.
