Sentence examples for maintaining variables from inspiring English sources

One of the few empirically derived and psychometrically sound scales is the Questions About Behavioral Function (QABF), a 25-item questionnaire designed to rate specific behavioral functions and maintaining variables.

A manual stepwise backward selection approach was used, considering as the criterion for maintaining variables in the model a p-value of less than 0.05 on the penalized log-likelihood ratio test.

Indeed, Kuss [ 11] describes how the preference for online social relationships, the need for escapism, and use of maladaptive coping strategies to deal with daily stressors become maintaining variables.

Multivariable models were built using backward stepwise regression from a model including all variables with p < 0.1 in univariate analysis and maintaining variables with p < 0.05 in the multivariate analysis.

Risk factors for S. aureus and MRSA colonization were compared with Pearson's chi-squared test (Table  2), and a multivariable logistic regression model was constructed in a reverse step-wise fashion to analyze risk factors for S. aureus carriage, beginning with all demographic and population characteristics from Table  2, and maintaining variables with p < 0.20 in the final multivariable model.

The large levels of additive genetic variation suggest that natural or artificial selection for a single or optimal morphotype is not strong within these strains, and it is possible that heterogeneity in the natural or hatchery environments (microhabitat, density, food availability, temperature) has selected for and maintained variable morphotypes.

In addition to Na+ efflux outside the plasma membrane, SbSOS1 also helps to maintain variable Na+ content in different organs and also affect the other transporters activity indirectly.

In order to determine the optimal levels of each variable for maximum protease production, three-dimensional response surface plots were constructed by plotting the response (protease production) on the z-axis against any two independent variables, while maintaining other variables at their central levels.

A contour plot is a graphical representation of a three-dimensional response surface as a function of two independent variables, maintaining all other variables at fixed level.

For the system where Pm3n is formed during emulsification, scale-up cannot be done, as it would be expected, maintaining adimensional variables – Reynolds, Re, and adimensional time.

Additionally, VUDU's encoder performs multiple encoding passes over the video to help make intelligent rate control decisions, while maintaining a "variable bit rate buffer", which essentially allows for variability in bit rate without breaking the average and maximum bit rate constraints.
