This is consistent with the 'bigger-is-better' component of the GMH and is evident in another pomacentrid, Pomacentrus amboinensis, on the Great Barrier Reef [23].
In comparison to a set of 233 independent pedons, the predicted soil types matched that of the validation points better than each component of the original map units.
Furthermore, a recent review concluded that FEV1 can probably predict mortality better as a component of the BODE BMII, airflow obstruction, dyspnoea and exercise tolerance) index, than as an individual parameter [ 33].
It is possible to synthesize the information obtained with the eight domains into two summary scores, one specific for physical health (Physical Summary Score - PCS and the other for mental health (Mental Summary Score - MCS): the higher the score, the better the component of HRQoL measured [ 37, 43].
That will have to wait until August, but we know that 3rd graders did no better on the reading component of the CSAP this year than last.
More importantly, the use of CAS results in better positioning of acetabular component of the prosthesis.
However, another explanation is that students performed better on the group component of the evolution unit exam versus the review homework and final exam due to building the phylogenetic tree before answering the taxa-relatedness question.
Growth (specific growth rate (SGR)=1.2 1.32% BW day−1), survival (98%) and food conversion ratios (FCR=1.26 1.29) were significantly better (P<0.05), and the protein component of the diet best utilised (protein productive value (PPV =18.3 19%) (P>0.05), when the lobsters were fed mussels.
The PAMELA satellite-borne experiment, scheduled to be launched in 2004, is designed to provide a better understanding of the antimatter component of the cosmic rays.
In the real-world application, we found that the recovery of a continuous, coherent wavefield was better achieved for the vertical component of the rotation vector than for the divergence (Fig. 9).
None of the treatments containing SMC matched the peat (control) as growing medium for tomato seedlings production, but SMC from A. bisporus was better than P. ostreatus as component of the growing media.
