Short-term memory, explored by the digit span method, differed significantly in the three groups (P=0.004).
Furthermore, the functional connectivity elicited by food cues, as assessed by an inter-regional multigene-expression correlation method, differed substantially from that elicited by neutral cues.
The cited authors showed that the values calculated using data obtained by different methods differed significantly; clinical interpretation and consequent therapeutic decision-making could be adversely affected.
The results on the layer thicknesses obtained by AFM method differ from those by RBS significantly, the differences being due to different principles of both methods, namely, in contrast to the RBS results, the AFM method gives higher layer thicknesses on the glass substrate than on the silicon substrate.
Our method differed from these by dividing cost into the weighted benefit score to rank in order of 'cost-value'.
