In fact, many of the government's policies have proved so effective that although John Key, an affable ex-banker, manfully strove to invoke Barack Obama by calling for "change," he offered only modest deviations from his opponents' agenda.
The experimental results showed that arithmetic mean performs poorly even with the modest deviations.
Comparisons between the experimental and theoretical cure parameters based on the autocatalytic model show good agreements up to about 80% conversion (where the reaction is kinetically controlled), but beyond that region modest deviations are observed.
NBA games exhibit a similar pattern to CFB games, but the crossover point occurs at the end of period 3, rather than at period 2. These modest deviations suggest the presence of still other non-ideal processes governing the scoring dynamics, particularly in NHL games.
However, many questions remain unanswered, particularly as to what specific mechanisms generate the modest deviations from the basic patterns that we observe in each sport, and how exactly teams exerting such great efforts against each other can conspire to produce gameplay so reminiscent of simple stochastic processes.
A scatter plot between observed and predicted biomass (Figure 5b) suggests that the OOB predictions were in proper scale (regression slopes = ∼1) with modest deviations from the observations.
Overall, serum total IGF-I levels showed only modest deviations from baseline during the experiments.
However, there are modest deviations from 1 at the termini, positions 1 and 10.
Early treatment would not be accepted if only modest deviations from the norm are present.
The dependencies are perfectly linear for persistent pollutants, and reactive chemicals exhibit only modest deviations from the line.
On the other hand, the adverse prognostic significance of even modest deviations from the normal range is clear [ 4].
