This variation was explained by years since sowing of the alfalfa (standardized slope coefficient, β≈0.52), annual frequency of flood irrigation (β≈−0.43), habitat area as a percentage of the landscape within a 500 m buffer around the field (β≈0.31), season of the year (β≈0.25), field size (β≈−0.20) and percentage of sand within the top soil layer (β≈0.16).
From Figure 3, C and D we see that almost all the differences in the phenotype seems to be explained by the year specific fixed factor β year, and from Figure 3D there seems to be no trends in the breeding values, and hence no microevolution is going on.
This can be explained by the many years of living with an esthetically suboptimal dentition, increased sensitivity, and frequent dental visits for replacement of restorations [ 5].
The difference between the remotely sensed position and the field observations can be explained by the 9 year time difference between the satellite image (year 2000) and 2009.
Our measured increase in need for self reflection from Year 4 to Year 5 could be explained by themes running in Year 4 of the course: our students have a Personal and Professional Development unit running throughout the clinical years of the course.
This can be explained by a 14 year follow up which is longer than in most other studies.
This may be explained by the 5-year longer follow-up time of VTE in the Tromsø Study, along with the most comprehensive procedure to identify VTE events.
Finally, we used network meta-regression analysis to investigate whether potential heterogeneity could be explained by differences in year of publication, 43 number of supervised sessions (as a measure of treatment intensity), and duration of follow-up.
To this aim, we found that the variance in reading skill could also be explained by the number of years of education (linear correlation: r = .55 with WRT, r = .54 with PWRT and r = .61 with CTL indices; p<.05) but not demographic data (age and gender).
This could partly be explained by the over 20 years of war between the Government of Uganda and the rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army LRAArmy LRA
