Again, TcdA elicited a similar response to TcdB at the same concentration, yet to a lesser extent, thus showing consistency from gene and protein expression to cell function.
The sub-scales and full scale exhibited a lesser degree of internal consistency than found previously in the Australian studies, with α-values ranging from 0.38 to 0.53.
We found that disregarding stereochemistry and, to a lesser extent, tautomers boosted the consistency, in particular of MOL-IUPAC names (Table 4).
The preliminary scale was shortened to 12 items by eliminating items with the least favourable psychometric properties (lower factor loadings and lesser contributions to the internal consistency of the relevant subscale to achieve a well-balanced questionnaire with equal numbers of positively and negatively worded items and subscales of equal length).
In this context, consistency implies obtaining consistent results for the same problem, reliability implies a reduction in the variability in the results while practicality implies the completion of the process with lesser effort.
Significant interaction was found with a three-factor model, including obesity, metabolic syndrome and Framingham risk status, with lesser average prediction error (22.6%), higher average cross-validation consistency (6.3) and lower average prediction error (24.3%).
His tunes, Romantic as Schubert's, are developed with consistency, refinement, and a harmonic interest foreign to many lesser contemporaries (especially those seduced by Berlioz and Liszt but without understanding their talent).
As part of a comprehensive evaluation of lesser declines in eGFR as alternative end points, we describe the consistency of treatment effects of intervention on the alternative and established end points in past trials.
This would be done only when the observed CI of a data object is lesser than desired level of CI, i.e. the observed consistency guarantees of a data object are below the desired ones.
