The results show that the mean compressive strength increases with growth portion height, but that the variation in compressive strength also increases with growth portion height.
Mechanical results indicated that mean fixation strength increases significantly between 0 and 3 months after surgery and remains strong through 6 months.
Patients without elevated levels of CRP at both baseline and follow-up had a mean muscle strength increase of 27% at 2-year follow-up (mean ± SD of 0.10 ± 0.3 N-m/kg) (P <0.001); patients with elevated CRP levels at both times of assessment showed a non-significant increase in mean muscle strength of only 4% (mean ± SD of 0.02 ± 0.2 N-m/kg) (P = 0.59).
Consistent with the model predictions, mean breakaway strength increased with increasing COF and was greater for the circular than rectangular handle for COFs of 0.50 and 0.74.
Analyses of response surfaces show that in the great part of the experimental domain examined, as the sulfidation temperature increases the mean strength decreases, while the Weibull modulus increases at first and then decreases.
Analysis of response surface show that the mean strength and Weibull's modulus increase with the increase of calcination temperature.
In the case of GFRP rupture, as the mean-to-nominal ratio of GFRP strength increases, the average reliability index at first increases and then decreases.
In the IMT group, mean inspiratory muscle strength increased from 44.4 54.1 cm H2O, whereas no significant difference was detectable in the sham training group.
Mean neck extension strength increased with age (p = 0.001), although a wide inter-age range variation was evident, with the result that some of the oldest children presented with the same neck strength as the mean of the youngest group.
The mean neck extension strength increased with age, from 18 kg (sd 3.1) for the 12-year-old group to 34 kg (sd 8.1) for the 18-year-old group.
