The phrase "activated less than" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when comparing the activation levels of two or more items, indicating that one is activated to a lesser degree than another.
Example: "The new feature was activated less than the previous version, resulting in lower user engagement."
Alternatives: "triggered to a lesser extent" or "engaged to a smaller degree".
With regard to the deletion mutants, in SW480 cells, the distal 5' flanking region −2952/+114 activated less than half the luciferase reporter activity of the 3.1 kb FSCN1 promoter (Fig. 3B).
4) Lastly, we modeled BC as a non-contributor cell type that is activated less than a WT cells so it grows marginally slower (S3).
In contrast, the 128 mN stimulus activated less than 1% of voxels in the adult brain.
EU activated >60% of SE-responding VSNs while NEU activated less than 10%, suggesting that SE-responsive cells convey estrus information.
We observed that GSN (150 nmol/min) induced FOS-IR in approximately 30.7 ± 3.5% of LHA ORX neurons (Figs. 2b and 3c c3), while in contrast saline treatment activated less than 1%.
In addition, it is generally accepted that polyunsaturated fatty acids activate PPARα better than monounsaturated fatty acids [ 30- 33], which is in line with our result that OA activated less genes PPARα-dependently than EPA and DHA.
And that's despite the fact that AT&T actually activated less iPhones for the quarter than it had the previous two quarters.
Thus, isoforms with shorter N-termini are usually activated less potently by their cognate agonists than their long counterparts.
This region activated less in the right TLE group preoperatively than the control subjects.
While activating less number of nodes than existing coverage scheduling algorithms to provide such assurances, coverage scheduling also relieves sensor nodes computation and storage overhead.
Figure 8(c) shows that CORA approximates the coverage of the monitored area with better accuracy than and hence activates less number of nodes to meet the same coverage requirement.
