Covariance analysis (Ancova) using age as factor and IQ as covariant (Table 3), aiming to minimize possible effects of IQ over the performance in TLN-C, reveled significant effect of age on all subtests, except on "receptive speech".
For all SPR measurements, the recombinant domain was dialysed in the buffer with the desired NaCl concentration and pH, and centrifuged immediately before the runs to minimize possible effects from non-specific aggregation.
To minimize possible effects of resection on the binding of Exo1 to DNA ends, we examined association of Myc-tagged Exo1 by ChIP analysis at the HO-induced telomere in G1-arrested rif2Δ mre11Δ cells, which did not resect the 5' C-strand, and in rif2Δ mre11-nd cells, where resection was severely compromised and did not proceed beyond 166 bp from the HO site (Figure 1E and 1F).
However, scientific procedures were employed to minimize possible effects.
Collection occurred primarily in the mid to late morning to minimize possible effects of early morning traffic-related peaks in ambient nitrogen oxide (NO) and recent food intake.
In addition, to minimize possible effects of specialized media on the normal cell cycle, we also avoided here using cell media with dialyzed serum, as frequently used for metabolic labeling of cells with heavy isotope substituted amino acids.
In each experiment the beetles were randomly assigned to different plants in the experimental design to minimize possible effects of previous experience, beetle age or sex, similar as described in Hjälten et al. [ 29].
To minimize possible effects of encoding disparities due to reward levels, in all the analyses and for each participant, we only included well encoded items, namely associations for which the participant was correct on at least 2 over 3 repetitions during the learning phase.
Moreover, none from our patients suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), minimizing possible effects of chronic hypercapnia on the respiratory centers control.
