For each ACT concept, a higher percentage of variance, at statistically significant levels, was explained by aggregating the healthcare aide responses to the care unit and also to the nursing home, when compared to maintaining scores at the individual level.
This difference cannot be explained by the aggregate exposure time, because the NPC risk remained significantly elevated among individuals who used kanoun during childhood but not during adulthood (OR=1.80 (1.21–2.68)).
The lower erosion-induced CO2 emissions under NT could be explained by a high soil aggregate stability (mean weight diameter of 2.29 ± 0.05 mm for NT vs 1.59 ± 0.07 mm for CT, P < 0.05) and the associated enhanced protection of SOC from the decomposers.
It was previously noticed that NP7 tends to aggregate at elevated concentrations, which can be explained by a charge stabilized aggregation process.
Although the hydrolysis of ACC aggregates remains contradictory, the high level of free ACC could be explained by the degradation of these aggregates of malonyl-ACC into free ACC, accompanied by an increase in free ACC production and the conversion of AdoMet into ACC by the ACS enzyme.
This observation may be explained by the formation of bridges between aggregates by the di-functionalised PEOM.
This observation highlights a more dissipative behavior when recycled aggregates are used, and may be explained by a more diffuse damage related to the nature of recycled aggregates.
It should be noted that in a powder form eGNRs are heavily aggregated, which can be explained by their entangling and π-π stacking.
The absence of NOB in the microbial aggregates could partially be explained by the alternating inhibitions of free ammonia (FA, ~140 mg-NH3-N/L) and free nitrous acids (FNA, ~0.15 mg-HNO2-N/L) at the beginning and the end of the aerobic phases, respectively (Anthonisen et al. 1976).
For 5-HT, a significant reduction of resonance intensities was observable only after 48 h, which can be explained by binding of 5-HT to accumulating aggregates rather than to monomers.
