Alternatives: "and thus lower the chances" or "and consequently diminish the probability".
In addition, estrogens suppress the activity of sebaceous (oil-producing) glands and thereby reduce the likelihood of acne in the female.
Two characteristics of mathematical optimality that are apparent during free-flight in Drosophila are inter-saccade interval lengths distributed according to an inverse square law, which does not vary across landscape scale, and 90° saccade angles, which increase the likelihood that territory will be revisited and thereby reduce the likelihood that near-by targets will be missed.
But as novel assays are developed (e.g. for hERG protein trafficking interference) such data can be included into existing models, and thereby reduce the likelihood of such unexpected results.
Recent immunization studies in α-syn transgenic mice indicate that antibodies targeting α-syn will promote its uptake and degradation by microglia and thereby reduce the likelihood of intercellular α-syn transfer 3.
In addition, it is possible that higher social support is associated with better access to resources and may help to buffer the impact of daily stressors and life events and thereby reduce the likelihood of unhealthy coping behaviours such as discontinuing LTPA.
The advent of computerized inventory tracking fostered a practice known as just-in-time inventory management and thereby reduced the likelihood of excess or inadequate inventory stocks.
By restricting closing times, the intervention may have reduced the number of people coming into the CBD and thereby reduced the likelihood of aggressive interactions between patrons within, outside and travelling between licensed premises.
Ms. Greenfeld said that large canopies help cool the streets and thereby reduce the creation of ground-level ozone.
Admittedly, the comparability between quartiles was limited by the shorter LOS of patients of q1 and q2 than q3 and q4, thereby reducing the likelihood to receive any form of artificial nutrition.
Lack of experienced health professionals in the home country also jeopardises patient safety and health, thereby reducing the likelihood for developing nations to attain the Millennium Development Goals.
