Our data suggest that elective induction of labour at term (at 37 weeks' gestation or more) is associated with a decreased odds of perinatal death without an associated decrease in spontaneous vertex delivery.
Despite high levels of the Th1 cytokine IFN-γ female IL-4KO BALB/c mice mount an unusually delayed Th2 response, associated with T-cell and accessory NK cell-derived IL-13 – and an associated decrease in the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 (13, 14), which combine to mediate worm expulsion.
Despite women reaching higher levels of educational attainment, there has not been an associated decrease in the pay gap between women and men.
This was confirmed with an associated decrease in the expression of α4β2 subtypes indicated by immunoblot experiments.
Coal mining activities cause an increased acidity and an associated decrease of the pH-value in mine waters.
The researchers found that for each doubling of BPA levels, there was an associated decrease of 0.13 micrograms per deciliter of total thyroxine (T4) in mothers during pregnancy, which suggests a hypothyroid effect.
Measurement of electrode impedance in phosphate-buffered saline solution showed an associated decrease to one-fifth of the surface impedance of unprocessed wire for signals below 100 Hz.
These mudstone deposits eventually reduced the topographic irregularities typical of the early stage of synrift basin development, with an associated decrease in topographic-slope gradients.
When residual stresses from casting were relieved by annealing, there was an associated decrease in both the fracture toughness and fatigue threshold.
On day 3, propionate concentrations began to increase (P < 0.01) for EO200 and EO400, which resulted in an associated decrease (P = 0.03) in the acetate: propionate ratio; this effect lasted until day 15.
The result of the analysis indicated that the demand for diesel would increase by more than 200% with an associated decrease in manpower by more than 80% and also 100% reduction of bullock power.
