Therefore, ventricular enlargement was a consequence of MAM exposure but as mentioned above its inconsistent presence rendered it non-significant (Figure 5).
Roughly speaking, then, a possible world for an abstractionist is the limit of such a "process" of consistently extending and adding detail to some initial state of the world; it is a total way things could be, a consistent state of the world that settles every possibility; a consistent state to which no further detail could be added without rendering it inconsistent.
Abstractionist possible worlds are now definable straightaway: It is easy to see that this definition covers the more intuitive characterizations of abstract possible worlds above: they are consistent — i.e., possible — states of the world that settle every possibility, consistent states to which no further detail could be added without rendering them inconsistent.
In both cases vehicle-kilometres will be correlated with the error term ε thus violating the assumptions underlying both the FE and the FD estimator, rendering them both inconsistent.
Cao views the gravitational property of universal coupling as essential, but notes that this does not require continuity, so that the former could be retained while discarding the latter, without rendering the framework inconsistent, thus allowing for quantum theory's violent fluctuations (Cao's prime candidate for an essential quantum field theoretic concept).
The presence of the surfactant resulted in excessive foaming and led to very low and inconsistent aerosol output rates thus rendering jet nebulization inappropriate for use with these formulations.
In 2004, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned John David Stumpf's conviction in the murder of Mary Jane Stout, writing, "Inconsistent theories render convictions unreliable".
Using maximum likelihood to estimate these parameters often breaks down, with one parameter tending to the specific value that causes the likelihood to be infinite, rendering the other parameters inconsistent.
But if the user clicks the Back button, the application's state will be rolled back rendering the user's experience inconsistent [1].
They added that the Met had been inconsistent in applying its neither confirm nor deny policy, rendering its attempted strike-out "farcical".
