The major influencing factors for the investigated samples were found to be the coal rank and the gas-phase oxygen concentration, while a minor influence of particle size was observed.
It is possible that additional factors such as age and sex of the patients might influence the haematological toxicity as well, although in a trial with radiolabelled antibodies there was only a minor influence of these factors [ 35].
More sophisticated models integrating a large number of SNPs and other factors with minor influence might be necessary for the exact prediction of phenprocoumon maintenance doses, but might not be feasible and cost-effective in clinical routine.
Saturation had only minor influence on the total intensity normalization factor and, hence, the expression ratios of the other spots, as long as the number of spots with saturation was low.
Previous multivariate analysis of this cohort has demonstrated that once individual characteristics were accounted for, contextual factors had a minor influence on predicting levels of psychological distress among participants, with evidence for a significant role of social factors (specifically social connectedness and perception of community) [ 10].
Inclusion of comorbidity had a minor influence on the associations between socioeconomic factors and survival.
Adjustments were also made for heredity (having or not having a first or second degree relative with MS), educational level, socioeconomic status, snuff use (yes/no), sun exposure habits and vitamin D status (more or less than 50 ng/ml or unknown), but these factors had a minor influence on the results and were not retained in the final analyses.
Comparing the variances of the full model with and without a specific covariate showed that maternal factors (age and parity) had minor influence on the genetic variance, but no influence on heritability.
Variability in gene expression within each breast will make it difficult to detect genes with only a minor influence on MD so that only the strongest factors are identified.
The beliefs, fears, motivation and influencing factors for decision-making of legal minors and parents were also examined.
