In practice, to improve the rate of convergence of the Markov chains, we augmented the likelihood of the sound change model with that obtained from cognacy data for the same words, following methods described elsewhere [ 34, 35] (Supplemental Experimental Procedures).
Moreover, because of their chemical nature, olfactory signals might be more likely than others to vary with small differences in ecological traits such as diet, microhabitat or parasite infections [ 50, 58, 59], perhaps augmenting the likelihood of reproductive isolation among populations.
It would be expected that this difference would persist into adulthood, augmenting the likelihood that Inattentive symptoms would predominate the clinical presentation.
The figures augment information about the likelihood of switching with information about the time to switching over the one-year study.
The differences in the predictive value of the two models were assessed using the Akaike Information Criterion [ 22] to augment the log likelihood ratio χ2 test, with a penalty for differences in the number of variables in the models compared.
Most notably, rhEPO interacts with thrombocyte production and activates endothelial cells to augment platelet aggregation, increasing the likelihood of microinfarctions and macroinfarctions [ 41, 42].
Facilitating factors are defined as transient and sporadic endogenous or exogenous elements capable of augmenting seizure incidence (increasing the likelihood of seizure occurrence).
Such variables significantly impact the available physiological reserve and, as such, the likelihood of manifesting augmented clearances.
A reinforced biologic strip graft was designed to mechanically augment the repair of rotator cuff tears that are fully reparable by arthroscopic techniques yet have a likelihood of failure.
