CET4 reading and writing only explained a small proportion of the variance in summary writing respectively.
Pain intensity explained a small, but significant proportion of the variance in disability scores in one sample only.
After controlling for the general factor, three specific factors explained a small portion of variance in well-being.
The results showed that age, gender, and race explained a small percentage of the variance in exhaustion, cynicism, and vigor/dedication.
Using Mantel tests, plant species/cultivar identity (r = 0.118, P < 0.001) and plant species/cultivar relatedness (r = 0.302, P = 0.017) each explained a small proportion of the variability in Bray-Curtis dissimilarity.
Addition of stoichiometric measures and other soil attributes (e.g. soil C N, C P, δ15N) in a multiple regression model explained more of the variation than a single factor plus the land use effect (though soil order still explained a small, but significant amount of variance for measures of microbial biomass).
As Land and Nilsson (2002, p 58) explained, a small blob of jelly or mucus, with a refractive index somewhat higher than the surrounding water, placed in the pupil of the eye, will converge entering rays slightly, and this in turn will reduce the width of the blur circle on the retina without requiring a decrease in pupil diameter.
The effect of CB1 activity on cholesterol transport may be mediated through SRB1 or ABCG1 [46] To date, common variants in biological candidate genes have only explained a small fraction (typically less than 5%) of the variance in complex traits such as dyslipidemia [50], [51].
While the links between population size and coastline length are intuitive and may help provide a coarse characterization of fishing pressure along a coastline, they explained a small proportion of the variability in fishing density and do little to identify which gear types or which coastal areas are likely to experience the highest fishing pressure.
Hospital factors only explained a small proportion of the remaining variation.
The non-parental shared environment explained a small percentage of.3%, and the parental 0%.
