They figured the state economy might improve — the equivalent of a leprechaun showing up or a winning lottery ticket blowing in through the window — before they had to pay for the last few months of Medicaid.
The inclusion of this factor, and/or its interaction term with fruit compounds or abundance-related variables, generally improved the equivalent models in which 'animal species' was excluded [see Supporting Information ].
The structure under consideration is simulated by the shear beam model, and hysteretic dampers are used to improve the structural equivalent damping ratio and stiffness and thus to reduce the seismic responses.
Using a clinical PET scanner, Ibaraki et al. reported the influence of random events and scatter coincidences from outside the FOV when using a 3D-mode PET scanner as well as the utility of a neck shield, which improved the noise equivalent count ratio by reducing the scatter effects [4].
The researchers suggested that removing laptops and iPads from classes was the equivalent of improving the quality of teaching.
In longhorn ranching, the equivalent is called improving the herd.
[MIT] researchers found that use of devices had a "substantial negative effect" on students' performance, and that removing technology from the classroom was "equivalent to improving the quality of the teacher".
For example, the gain in efficacy by mixing two immunogens each of which give a mean 50% efficacy and for which the responses are independent, is equivalent to improving the immunogenicity of a single component by 3.8 fold (Fig. 3b, binary mix, fold range 65) with a corresponding increase in efficacy from 50 to 75%.
The comparison results show that our protocol improves the security with equivalent cost.
