The magnitude of the effect was thus smaller than the effects described in earlier studies of the occupationally exposed PCDD/ PCDF cohorts (40% increase) (Kogevinas 2000; Kogevinas et al. 1997) and in the study of the Seveso cohort (30% increase) (Bertazzi et al. 2001).
In the present case, the outliers only play a marginal role because they typically are for deliveries with a small value and their effect is, thus, very small.
Why might the effects be so small?
"The effects were so small," Warner said.
End effects are thus negligible provided the aspect ratio is small (as would be expected for a supported liquid membrane), and hence a membrane can be designed whose effective thickness is much less than a pore radius.
Topological effects are thus included.
Dilution effects were thus negligible.
However, the generation of men included in this study was predominately Caucasian (most Aboriginal men were excluded), thus any confounding effect is likely small [39].
Thus, D-P has a mild direct presynaptic effect on neuromuscular transmission at high concentrations, but this effect is too small to account for the weakness seen in the myasthenia-like syndrome in humans.
