While Chiumello et al. found a slightly positive constant bias between EELVWI-WO and EELVCT[2], and Graf et al. a slightly negative constant bias, a non-constant linear bias was found in the present study.
Asymptotic results, that allow the number of variables to grow faster than the number of observations, demonstrate that the worst possible expected error rate of the proposed rules converges to the error of the optimal Bayes rule when the postulated model is true, and to a slightly larger constant when this model is a reasonable approximation to the data generating process.
Interestingly, we found that the depinning time (td) for β ≥ 0.04 was slightly constant for all the cases with s > 70 nm, where the DW structure was kept to be a transverse structure during the depinning process.
There was essentially no difference in time constants for each system for a 5% change compared with a 10% CO2 change, except for a slightly faster time constant for the gas tonometry system with a 5% change in the gas environment (5%: 2.8 mins vs. 10%: 3.3 mins).
The spinel compound exhibited a slightly smaller lattice constant than a conventional spinel compound, even though the cationic ratio of Li/Mn is the same for both compounds.
Surface protrusion, which was modeled as a linear deformation, had a slightly smaller spring constant at 37°C (40 pN/μm) than it did at room temperature (56 pN/μm).
Reservoir fluid composition changes are categorized into two different scenarios: (a) slightly varying or constant composition changes in depletion process; and (b) sharp varying composition in gas injection process.
Toluene has a slightly lower dielectric constant (ϵ toluene = 2.38) than PMMA and could result in an increase of the emission energy in the larger NCs [33].
With the players mostly restricted to individual rectangular playing areas at one of at the end of the pitch, each with a slightly different perspective, constant chatter is key to building a complete picture of the play and a winning strategy.
Iron has a slightly higher stability constant with EDTA than manganese [ 31], which supports this treatment as an appropriate control for adventitious transition metals.
