Differences in CWAM were predominantly less than 2 kg ha−1 and were likely the result of differences in floating point handling among compilers.
Based on the horizontal winds and SABER temperature profiles, the altitude variation of R i is derived at different times and found to be predominantly less than the canonical instability threshold of 0.25 during the 18 00 to 19 00 IST period (Figure 4c) - a condition which is conducive for the generation of KH billows.
That α ^ was predominantly less than 1, indicates that the amino acid exchanges involving the MAA are generally less permissive than the common nonsynonymous substitution rate (represented by ω) affecting all amino acids.
Like the case for yeast, α was predominantly less than 1 in primates, suggesting that the amino acid exchanges involved in MAA are generally less permissive than other amino acids.
