Similarly, Owens et al. reported that in the case of HIV, physicians gave lower quality of life scores for severe conditions than did patients [ 23], as reported in a study by Tsevat et al. [ 24].
The observed embryo survival rates in our laboratory are high compared to more natural conditions [ 38], especially so in our first experiment, i.e. we incubated the embryos under conditions that may be less challenging than they would usually experience in the wild, giving lower quality embryos a higher survival chance.
Deaths of livestock or domestic animals, which are often given lower-quality grain, or modeling of aflatoxin contamination to weather conditions from planting to postharvest (de la Campa et al. 2005), could also serve as indicators of aflatoxin.
Take this stunner: States that spend the most money per Medicare patient actually tend to give lower-quality health care than those that are frugal.
Brandon gave the Dream a 4.5/5, despite stating that it was "no Apple iPhone killer", given its lower quality of its application selection and multimedia features in comparison.
Further, we utilized column-based total RNA purification procedures (Methods); we find that columns generally give lower quantities, but higher quality RNA than TRIzol®-based methods.
As shown in the figure, the WSS values resulting from all other methods are comparable and relatively larger for a wide range of SNR levels, whereas the proposed method is capable of producing enhanced speech with better quality as it gives lower values of WSS at a low SNR of -15 dB.
Patients with low levels of self-reported health gave lower ratings and scored lower on the quality domains, except for the domain communication about medication.
Therefore, "SPE plus PE" gives lower bitrate bounds for communicating multichannel audio signals with transparent quality.
Users had higher expectations than academic researchers that research would improve practice, but gave lower achievement ratings for their goals than academic researchers, were less satisfied with the outcomes of collaborative research and gave lower ratings of research quality.
Police give lower figures.
