Overall, GWI cases and controls did not differ by mean BChE enzyme activity level or by BChE genotype.
Next, we investigated between which specific tissues the expression levels differed, by means of pairwise comparisons of all possible tissue pairs using Tukey's multiple comparisons procedure, maintaining the overall significance level at.05.
Therefore, there was no difference in tendon stiffness or strain between the measurements (elongation each time the load was increased from 25 to 200 N differed by mean 0.14 mm, sd 0.38; p = 0.27).
Ideally, we would have liked to also present separate results for blacks, Hispanics, and whites given that most marriages are within the same race, and there are reasons to believe that marriage market conditions differ by ethnicity: means and standard deviations of the dependent variables are significantly different for the white and black subsamples.
The two mounts considered here within differ by the means in which the decoupler is used to control the amplitude-dependent behavior of the hydraulic mount.
In both situations, performance measures can be ranked if their likelihood ratio distribution functions differ by a mean-preserving spread.
Thus, our building blocks comprise populations that differ by microsphere mean diameter, polydispersity, and polymer molecular weight, giving three separate parameters that effect drug release rate, and from which we build a foundation for our tailored release.
Mean follow-up duration did not differ by sex, but mean age at follow-up was significantly lower for women (P = 0.02).
The data suggest that interspecific cross-hybridization will not interfere with the accurate recovery of species-specific data from multispecies microarrays, provided that the species' DNA sequences differ by > 20% (mean of 5b differences per 25b oligo).
