In a companion study, Ferraro and Miranda (2013a) replicate the experimental estimates by following best practices to select a non-experimental control group, by using a rich data set on observable characteristics that includes repeated pre- and post-treatment outcome measures, and by combining panel data methods and matching designs.
In Eq. (1), X is a matrix of individual characteristics that includes an indicator for being female in the estimates for black or white students and an indicator for being a black student in estimates for female or male students.
The trees were evaluated for aesthetic characteristics that included trunk color (ruddy red), trunk configuration (straight), trunk taper (smooth and uniform is best), bark configuration (tight) and crown presentation (top of the tree should be full and leafy).
While there is no universal definition, it is often identified with characteristics that include borrowers with low credit scores and poor payment histories.
Mannerist art painting and sculpture as well as prints typically shares characteristics that include elongated figures in graceful, complex and stylized poses; complex compositions, often with multiple figures; a stress on contour; ornamental embellishments; and high finish.
This paper explores enhancement of nonlinear susceptibility in strained quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) that lead to unique intracavity characteristics that include frequency mixing producing both fundamental and higher order modes that propagate freely within a GaAs matrix.
Missouri reflects a full range of sprawl characteristics that include large metropolitan centers, which led growth in 1980s, and smaller metropolitan and rural areas, which led growth in 1990s.
Apoptotic cells display a range of common characteristics that include cell shrinkage, plasma membrane blebbing, cell detachment, nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation, externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS) and activation of caspases.
The analysis of the production performance is essentially based on the following fluid and well characteristics that include fluid pressure volume temperature (PVT) properties, relative permeability data and inflow-performance-relationship (IPR).
The electric organ of the knifefish Electrophorus electricus (commonly known as the electric eel) is, however, an example of an electrical power source that operates within biological constraints while featuring power characteristics that include peak potential differences of 600 volts and currents of 1 ampere1,2.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of clinical maternal chorioamnionitis on morbidity and mortality rates among infants who are at < 33 weeks of gestation, adjusted for patient characteristics that included admission neonatal illness severity (Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology, version II; SNAP-II).
