On a larger scale, the unbuckling and shifting moved the planet's mass, on average, closer to its center, and just as a figure skater who spins faster when drawing the arms closer, the Earth's rotation speeds up.
Both groups lost the same amount of weight, around 13 per cent of their initial body mass on average, but critically the pool of fat in the pancreas – determined by MRI scans – did not change in the non-diabetic group, but it decreased to normal levels in those with diabetes.
These characteristics enable reptiles to stay longer in water than mammals of equal body mass on average.
The refined Ruff Equation was the most accurate predictor of body mass on average for the entire sample, indicating that it should be utilized when there is no knowledge of the individual's body size or if the individual is assumed to be of a normal body size.
However, this effect should be minor because liver mass was only 2.6±0.9% (n = 22) of body mass on average, which is much less than 17 30% reported in some sharks [12].
As shown in Table 2 and Fig. 3, the transplantation of ABCG2+ IGR37 cells resulted in tumors with 2-fold greater mass on average compared to tumors that arose from ABCG2- cells (p<0.01).
In this part of the experiment the controls laid 1.13±0.35 egg masses on average (N = 15), the peak 5 treated animals without sperm laid 1.25±0.68 egg masses (N = 16) and those with sperm 1.13±0.74 (N = 15), whereas the peak 10 treated animals, laid 0.73±0.59 (N = 15) and 0.67±0.62 (N = 16) egg masses, respectively (see Table S2 for details of all tests).
On the other hand, at the age of 16 weeks, female FtoΔ/Δ mice had even more fat mass on average than their wildtype and heterozygous littermates (Figure 4B), while their lean mass were still less than the controls (about 12% less, not as dramatic as the difference in males) (Figure 4A).
Assuming the same mass fraction in the MBO case, MBO SOA can account for as high as 0.4 μg m 3, which is 10% of total organic mass on average.
The contribution of these components to PM2.5 total mass on average across all communities and the minimum and maximum values for any single community are provided in the Supplemental Material (Table S3; http://www.ehponline.org/docs/2007/9621/suppl.pdf) for yearly and seasonal averages.
