Even though our patients showed a considerable amount of variability in respiratory variables during conventional PSV, such variability, as measured by the coefficient of variation, roughly doubled during noisy PSV, reaching values described for healthy subjects [ 11].
Deborah Tucker, a spokeswoman for the National Association for Variable Annuities, a trade group, acknowledged that "a considerable amount" of the sales of variable annuities had been coming from the replacement of old annuities with newer ones.
By contrast, a considerable amount of missing data in background variables may lead to biased estimates of population parameters (Rutkowski [2011]).
Despite the considerable amount of evidence regarding the potential of variable ventilation to promote lung recruitment, this mechanism is probably less during assisted ventilation.
Table 2 also shows that a considerable amount of exception flows originated from variable features (32% in MM, 30% in BkDB, and 12% in Pvl). Figure 9 focuses on such exception flows, originated from variable features.
The effects of both variable groups, however, highly overlapped with the spatial structure of resistant levels, which suggests that a considerable amount of the effects attributable to both variable groups may be actually due to the spatial distribution of resistance.
As indicated by the adjusted R a considerable amount of variance was explained by the model variables.
East of the Andes, environmental variables explained a considerable amount of the genetic variation (71.5%), while geographic distance explained little (8.8%), suggesting that habitat differences were more important than IBD in shaping the genetic variation in this region.
The canonical cross loadings also indicate that symptom variables, provided in Figure 4, explain considerable amount of the variation in the first canonical variate of the exposure sets.
