Correlation between the congeners was expected because they are components of the same commercial mixture (pentaBDE).
These genes were chosen because they are components of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, an important cell signaling pathway implicated in numerous developmental processes, including regeneration [ 18- 29].
In some cases, techniques may be related, either because they are similar in how they are performed (e.g., rocking, jostling, shaking, vibration) or because they are components of a single style of massage (e.g., circular compression and rebound are techniques used in lymph drainage).
However, indirect evidences from the literature suggest that at least eight of these may respond to a metabolite effector, because they are part of two-component systems (YycF, ResD), are involved in carbohydrate catabolism (YtrA, FruR, RbsR) or regulate the synthesis of specific enzymes in response to the nutrient availability (CysL, CcpN, GlnR).
The bulk of these variables were chosen because they were key components of well-validated scoring systems that predict patient mortality among pneumonia patients (e.g., age, sex, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, liver disease, renal disease, neoplastic disease) [ 39, 40].
Strange quarks were given their name because they were discovered to be components of the strange particles discovered in cosmic rays years before the quark model was proposed; these particles were deemed "strange" because they had unusually long lifetimes.
Five items: voluntary participation, rights of withdrawal, placebo, blinding and study purpose, were retained despite low factor loadings because they were theoretically important components of informed consent.
As a result of Vatican II, priests started celebrating Mass in the language of the countries in which they lived, and they faced the congregation, not only to be heard and seen but also to signal to worshippers that they were being included because they were a vital component of the service.
Personnel costs were chosen because they were a major cost component in all the facilities.
Similar to other tocochromanol studies in maize (Chander et al. 2008; Li et al. 2012; Shutu et al. 2012; Wong et al. 2003), we did not quantify β-tocopherol and β-tocotrienol because they are minor components, whereas γ-tocopherol and γ-tocotrienol are major components of the maize tocochromanol profile (Panfili et al. 2003).
