Proving this, recent engineering efforts in model species led to modest but significant improvements in stress tolerance of transgenic plants.
"How can you do something interesting and how can you bring new life when the boundaries are so strictly drawn?" While they did not release — nor have they completed — a design, the architects did say that they had presented a modest model to the Barnes along with a Power Point presentation.
30 We identified four ADR risk-prediction models with poor to modest performance and raised questions about their overall quality, a finding not uncommon in the area of risk-prediction research.
When I modeled, I held fast to modest standards: no "skin shots," as they called them, and no swimwear (not even a one-piece), which put me in the minority.
MISA utilizes a prior distribution over model parameters calibrated for small to modest effect sizes and a beta-binomial prior distribution on the number of SNPs included in a model.
Results based on the imputation model seem to be robust to modest departures from the assumptions of missing at random behind the imputation, based on sensitivity analyses.
(A further refinement of the score considering putative drug-drug pharmacokinetic interactions via cytochrome p450 is described in supplemental methods in the appendix; modeling these interactions explicitly led to modest gains in prediction; see supplemental text in appendix).
The weight values in the stable states were reasonably robust to modest variations in model parameters.
Adding medical history and symptoms (rectal bleeding, mucus, anaemia and fatigue) to the model adds further modest improvement to cancer prediction, but negligible improvement to adenoma prediction.
Thus, the magnitude of inflammatory changes in our model was modest, similar to that we previously observed in the early-life model of asthma following pneumovirus infection (Siegle et al., 2010).
