Sentence examples for assuming that the decrease from inspiring English sources

Thus, assuming that the decrease in total body mass in nutritionally stressed animals was a consequence of blubber depletion (Koopman et al. 2002) and that any contaminants in the blubber are then concentrated in the remaining fat layer, we can estimate what the concentration of PCBs in the blubber would have been if the animals had been in optimal body condition for their size.

Therefore we decided to predict the future herd effects by using Poisson regression models, assuming that the decrease in the additional serotypes (with the exception of serotype 3) would be similar to those observed after the introduction of the seven valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

It is assumed that the decrease of those substances is based on the presence of 'microconductors', particles with electronic conducting properties (e.g. metal oxides or others), inside the soil matrix.
