To account for this clustering of litters within farms a 2-level binomial logistic regression model was used with litters (level 1) nested within farms (level 2).
Body weights (D1, D20 and D40), average daily gain (ADG) (overall, pre- and post-weaning), number of IFNγ secreting PBMC, cytokine concentrations in supernatants, serum Mhyo antibody levels, and serum porcine IgG concentration (all D40) were compared between groups using linear regression built by Generalized Estimation Equations (GEE) accounting for clustering of litters.
Besides the large variability in litter abundance along most of the transects, ROV videos also show the presence of chaotic clusters of benthic litter accumulations that we define "MMSW mounds" (Fig. 3c g).
Now it is a ghostly region where the trees are merely splintered fragments, small bits of clothing are spread about like confetti and the metal remains of cluster bombs litter the ground.
Instead, we found these genes loosely clustered on the basis of litter, with most outliers comprised of embryos from a small number of litters.
The prevalence and the duration of diarrhoea as well as the tendency of diarrhoea to cluster within litters differed much between herds diagnosed with NNPDS.
The yellow, unexploded canisters of American cluster bombs litter the ground throughout the area.
Furthermore, the epidemiological pattern of diarrhoea in terms of prevalence, timing, duration and tendency to cluster within litters was described within the separate herds of the study.
The study intended to describe the epidemiological pattern of NNPDS in terms of prevalence, timing, duration and tendency to cluster within litters.
The flames fed on a cluster of office workstations lying smashed, littered with collapsed ceiling tiles and office papers.
However, inborn (genetic or developmental) and environmental factors are also likely to cluster within litters, thus could also be a part of the explanation.
