Second, ANCOVAs and regression analyses were conducted using mean-centered frequency of phonological features instead of the subjective classification of size to explore the relative influence of the sound-symbolic phonological properties.
However, we have shown that although being small or large may increase the risk of an adverse outcome, size alone is not sensitive or specific enough with current detection to be a useful clinical tool and poses the question of whether classification of size helps with the management at all.
The gestational age and birth weight of neonates were used to group infants into three classifications of size: small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA), and large for gestational age (LGA).
Using Cohen's classification of effect sizes, 31 effect size was small for smoking behaviour and attitudes, while there was a medium effect on smoking-related knowledge.
To allow comparison with reported intervention effects from previous reviews, including interventions in the general adult population, effect sizes were described according to Cohen's classification of effect size small (0.2 to <0.3), medium (0.3 to <0.8 and large (>0.8).
Although stimuli were selected primarily on the basis of the plosive/fricative distinction identified in earlier work (e.g., Klink, 2000, 2009), other phonemes were included to ensure the stimuli were not overly similar within each classification of intended size.
According to the three-point classification of MI size (small, moderate and large MI) [10], rats were subsequently randomized into three treatment groups: control (n = 7), CADO (n = 8) and 8-SPT (n = 8).
The AJCC-UICC staging system designates four main overall stages, ranging from early to advanced disease, based on TNM classification of Tumor size, spread to lymph Nodes, and Metastasis.
The digital images were thus used for enumeration of colonies, including classification of colony size (in pixels [px]).
We used the Dun and Bradstreet business information database, 14 which characterizes sponsors as either "large" or "small" using the cutoff of 750 employees used in the small business administration classification of business size.
Classification of tumor size and depth was based on the tissue histology report if the tumor had been removed, or on the MRI description when the tumor had not been removed (mostly small benign tumors).
