In a more civilized era — even the nineteen-nineties — Congress routinely passed technical fixes to major laws, in order to remove minor ambiguities, like the one that is arguably present in the A.C.A.
But all the finalists' essays were copy-edited, as is all writing that appears in our pages regardless of the source, to clarify minor ambiguities of wording or to make sure grammar conformed to Times style.
In these analyses, both two known hnRNP A3 isoforms, hnRNP A3a (full-length form) and hnRNP A3b (a short form due to an alternative splicing) [6] [8] were detected together (here, their names were redefined to eliminate previously existing minor ambiguities).
Major ambiguities were significantly associated with MHR accelerations, FHR signal loss, decelerations and yellow or red alarms, when compared with minor ambiguities (Table 1).
Some minor ambiguities in the tail regions were corrected based on the comparative analysis with newly available genomes from plants of the same branch.
The validity of the findings was then discussed, minor ambiguities were corrected and the Results section was then accepted as valid in the opinion of these informants.
Comparison of the two sets of assignments resolved some minor ambiguities for both proteins with a small number of corrections to the deposited chemical shifts for DM-PaDDAH.
When major ambiguities occurred, a decrease in the number of FHR decelerations, and a decrease in the false positive rate of yellow-red alarms for the detection of acidemic fetuses, were also observed, but this was not seen with minor ambiguities (Tables 2 and 3).
To compare categorical variables between minor or major ambiguity groups (Table 1) and before and after ambiguity removal (Tables 2 and 3), the Chi-square (or Fisher exact test) and McNemar tests were used, respectively.
