"This demonstrates that Britain was not a cultural periphery at the edge of mainland Europe at this time [and] was capable of producing works of art equal to those found much further south".
XPS investigations have shown that both in the monophasic and biphasic samples the surface Cu/Zn atomic ratios are nearly equal to those found by chemical analysis, so indicating that an homogeneous dispersion of zinc in the solid solutions and a good interdispersion of the zincian-malachite and aurichalcite phases are both achieved.
Nevertheless, the common trend was that the distances in females were shorter than or nearly equal to those found in males.
In this study, clinician cessation advice rates attained with use of the prompt (47%) were equal to those found in Milch's study.
Transcript levels in normal and fibroadenoma epithelia were equal to those found in isolated stroma, indicating that the scattered infiltrating macrophages (not lymphocytes) have relatively high OPN expression.
The 2 positive serum specimens (from patients 7 and 10) had 1.2 × 10 and 4.1 × 10 copies/mL, respectively, which were almost equal to those found in their corresponding NPA specimens.
We considered a simplified version of the model without diffusion, called the "shorted model" as in previous work [ 4], keeping the parameter values equal to those found by the fitting procedure in the full model (1).
On the contrary, cross-validation accuracies for g.SEMA, g.CIMF and g.CWT reported by [ 7] were equal to those found here (0.15 vs. 0.15, 0.31 vs. 0.33) or lower (0.16 vs. 0.25).
