The indices are comparative, rather than arbitrary, as many trips remain necessary regardless of location and factors such as flight times and costs cannot be factored in.
Of course, other performance issues, such as the room, the instrument, the audience, and how these may have been factors in the artist's performance, cannot be factored in.
This ought to be factored in, but it cannot readily be estimated.
Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that factors present in conditioned serum, either known or as yet undiscovered, play a role in vivo by inducing other mediators, not determined in the current study, in the joint space.
However, it cannot be excluded that in some cases confounding factors may also play a role.
We obtain the following results: (1) this problem is NP-hard in a strong sense, and it cannot be approximated within a factor 32−ε in polynomial time for any ε>0; (2) we design three approximation algorithms with different constant factors for this problem; (3) for the version where all intervals have the same weights, we design an optimal algorithm to solve the problem in linear time.
Because such studies did not evaluate the occurrence of endometriosis as a possible cause of the recurrent spontaneous abortions, it cannot be excluded as a confounding factor in the association analyses.
Moreover, it cannot be excluded that different aetiological factors could be involved in the HCC development among different populations, and therefore, different mechanisms of transformation could occur.
While it cannot be argued that colonization was the only factor in the loss of women's roles, I argue that it was the interplay of factors, among them, colonialism, in conjunction with the spread of Islam and Christianity, which added to the forces that reduced Borana women's roles, positions and status in their society.
Given the lack of empirical studies on TB stigma, it cannot be assumed that stigma levels and associated factors in patients with TB are identical to the stigma levels in the community and the factors associated with community stigma.
In Texas, State Senator Jeff Wentworth, a Republican who is chairman of the Senate Redistricting Committee, summarized the situation this way: "Race can be a factor, but it cannot be the dominant factor in drawing boundary lines.
