The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomical feasibility of unilateral PVP by exploring the differences in the puncture success rate of the unilateral pedicular approach among different lumbar segments, between men and women, and between the left and right sides.
[49, 50] The role of interaction in foresight is approached by exploring the differences, objectives and means of dialogue and debate [50], and also intercultural communication as a means of dealing with cultural diversity and preventing the clash of civilisations [51].
We also sought to identify possible markers for stages in students' developmental trajectories as they progressed in the research experience by exploring the differences between novice and experienced undergraduate researchers.
These will be addressed by exploring the differences between a healthy diet and an unhealthy diet that is currently attained by the adult population of Great Britain, identifying whether these differences could best be resolved by displacement or substitution, or both, and then applying the results to the design of nutrient profile models.
With this framework in mind, we explain why the MIP did not have a more positive impact on utilization by exploring the differences, if any, in utilization rates and associated costs between MIP- and non-MIP-insured individuals with chronic diseases compared to those with acute health needs, while controlling for other factors that might affect utilization.
Filling the gap in multi-spectral iris recognition by exploring the performance difference in iris biometrics under NIR and VL imaging.
By exploring the reactivity difference of two activated esters (PFPA and MSA) toward amines, the installation of amine functionalities on polymer backbones while maintaining a block copolymer architecture was realized in a controlled manner.
A bibliometric analysis of the UK National Institute for Health Research NIHR Health Technology Assessmentnt (HTA) monographs and their related journal articles by: (1) exploring the differences in citations to the HTA monographs in Google Scholar (GS), Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), and (2) comparing Scopus citations to the monographs with their related journal articles.
We also attempted to assess the potential source of missing partner information and its impact on outcomes, by exploring the reasons of differences between partly missing versus totally missing.
In a second type of analysis, we employ meta-regression to explain the heterogeneity among the reported effect estimates by exploring the impact of regional differences, study quality, and observation period on the reported results.
