Since TL decreases by ∼20 bp per year of age (11, 28), this is equivalent in magnitude to an age difference of 37 years respectively for these few individuals at the two extremes of the distribution (Fig. 2).
For these reasons, many legal scholars, like Jack Balkin of the Yale Law School, view the debt limit as a national security issue that would justify a presidential response equivalent in magnitude to what would be justified by a foreign invasion or an oil blockade.
With these lags in a single-pollutant model, the percent change in mortality attributable to a change in daily pollutants equivalent in magnitude to their mean ranged from 5.64% for O3 to 8.54% for PM10, with t-ratios > 2 (Table 4).
The buoyant force on a body floating in a liquid or gas is also equivalent in magnitude to the weight of the floating object and is opposite in direction; the object neither rises nor sinks.
The evapotranspiration (ET) flux accounts for approximately two thirds of terrestrial precipitation worldwide, and in grassland regions ET is equivalent in magnitude to precipitation.
In his paper, published on July 5 , 1990 in The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Rudman concluded with this sentence: "The effects of six months of growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose-tissue mass were equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10 to 20 years of aging".
Potential rates of denitrification observed in the laboratory were equivalent in magnitude to nitrate removal measured in the field (mean 0.26 ± 0.12 mg N kg of dry soil−1 d−1), but were two orders of magnitude greater than denitrification measured in the field with added acetylene.
The Triassic extinction was equivalent in magnitude to the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) extinction: about 80percentt of the species then living on the planet became extinct.
Having lived in Kentucky, and having learned to love college basketball there, I can tell you that this game, in the minds of Kentuckians, is equivalent in magnitude to: Greeks v. Persians, Grant v. Lee, Voldemort v. Harry, Jesus v. Moses, Reagan v. Evil Empire.
This change in AMAT would be roughly equivalent in magnitude to the amount of disease progression over 2 years.
The benefits of aspirin are at least equivalent in magnitude to those from statins [ 37], and as they mostly relate to cancer, are complimentary to statins.
