Carbonate replacement of B-type in the apatite structure leads to the formation of structural defects located on the sixfold axis (vacancy VOH at OH site) and near this axis (vacancy VCa at Ca site); as a result, CO3 2−-HAP becomes less stable as compared to stoichiometric HAP.
Binding of antibodies to the UCNPs should lead to an increase in the overall charge of the nanoparticles such that they become less negative as compared to UCNPs without antibodies.
After transfecting MDA-MB-231 cells with ANT2 shRNA-1 for 24 hours, the transfected cells became less confluent as compared with the cells transfected with scramble shRNA.
As a result, the medical school's overall "primary care" or "research" rank becomes less significant, compared to the school's performance in its various areas of concentration.
After 28 days, the microbial biomass was higher in all silver nitrate treatments compared to the control; however, the biomass stimulation became less as the Ag concentration increased.
The difference in fracture rates becomes less apparent when compared to placebo.
Appropriate algorithm selection will become more important, though, as the number of published mapping studies increases and it becomes less feasible to compare all potential HSUVs.
The correspondence of structures is typically very close among some organisms the different varieties of songbirds, for instance but becomes less so as the organisms being compared are less closely related in their evolutionary history.
As the mean age of the cohort increased, ranibizumab became less cost effective compared with vPDT or observation as cost savings from avoidance of blindness were not realized.
At the higher altitudes, the D-region becomes less inhomogeneous during summer season as compared to that during other seasons; hence, the tweeks with higher modes during summer season could reflect at the less different altitudes, whereas those tweeks during winter and equinox seasons could reflect at the higher altitudes.
