Reviewer 3 (Dr. Chao Chen) The authors propose a mathematical model in which body weight at time t is a function of linear combination of an error function, erf(#/ t) (a monotonic increasing function), and its complement 1-erf(#/ t)(a monotonic decreasing function), derived from the hypothesis of molecular diffusion following Fick's second law.
Discrete choice models are derived from the hypothesis that the choice of the individual follows a maximisation behaviour of the random utility [25, 26].
The rationale behind this approach is derived from the hypothesis that the physician at the time of a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) prescription assumes the patient to be at high risk of developing chronic and severe disease.
The elements of the code are derived from the hypotheses or elements of the theory [ 20].
Using PD as a neurocognitive marker, we tested five predictions derived from the decoupling hypothesis of offline thought.
The evolutionary rates for CP sequences were tested for deviations from expectations derived from the null hypothesis of neutral evolution.
Thereby, this study corroborates a major prediction derived from the gateway hypothesis of rPFC function (Burgess et al. 2007).
The aim of this study was to test an implication derived from the functional hypothesis: Is the prevalence of somatic symptoms as seen in somatization disorder, beyond symptoms related to a whiplash neck injury, increased in individuals self-reporting chronic whiplash?
A key function in the scientific method is deriving predictions from the hypotheses about the results of future experiments, then performing those experiments to see whether they support the predictions.
The present study confirms the hypothesis, derived from the research of M. A. Wallach and L. Wallach (1976) and L. Wallach and M. A. Wallach (1976), on teaching disadvantaged children to read, that the troubles poor children frequently have with sounds stem not from deficiencies in auditory discrimination but from inadequate skill in phonemic analysis.
The results observed in the T/HS pigs supported the hypothesis, derived from the observation of human trauma patients, that early elevation in TNF-α following substantial injury was associated with survival.
