This finding is concordant with expectations that might be generated from previous observations linking study participation with higher health and vitality.
The population-level responses we documented are concordant with expectations based on modern environmental studies, and yield insight into population-level patterns across hundreds of generations, especially the independence of different life history characteristics.
Lewis suggests: "[c]oordination may be rationally achieved with the aid of a system of concordant mutual expectations, of first or higher orders, about the agents actions, preferences, and rationality" (Lewis 1969: location 302).
When estimated over all valid SNPs (thus excluding failed SNPs, see below), on average, 99.4% of the SNP calls were concordant with expectations when using the recommended amount of DNA template (50 ng/μl in 5 μl).
The consistency of the genus level monophyly inferred from the Y chromosome and mtDNA data [ 6, 20, 22, 27- 31], as well as from the 14 kb-length combined sequences of mtDNA, Y-linked and X-linked loci [ 26] and the 27.5 kb-length autosomal DNA sequences [ 34], is concordant with expectations based upon the marked differences among genera in chromosomal numbers and structures [ 19, 67].
Thus, interestingly, our present data are not concordant with these expectations.
In an era in which health care and technology are evolving at a rapid pace, efforts are necessary to ensure that codes of ethics remain current, practical, and concordant with public expectations.
The results are concordant with our expectations: the large-orbit model yields the same mutually contradictory trees as WAG, whereas the small-orbit configuration leads to the same conclusions as CAT, i.e. both platyhelminths and nematodes were found sister group of arthropods, irrespective of the choice of the outgroup.
The differences in average scores between various domains of cultural competence in the three respondent groups were mostly concordant with a priori expectations and support the construct validity of the questionnaire.
This comparison led to concordant results confirming the expectation that mass-spectrometric BCPs match the corresponding sequence derived haplotypes (turned into BCPs).
