On average, reductions in the shortage ratios are 0.13 and 0.25 for the first and second crop periods, respectively.
Comparing this with direct figures on the average reduction in working time among STW participants reported in Hijzen and Venn (2010) suggests this estimate is reasonable, although perhaps somewhat on the low side.
Only ITNs had an important effect on the average reduction of phlebotomine sandflies (P. argentipes) at five months.
After 48 h. of incubation at 37°C, the number of colonies formed on the agar plate was counted; accordingly, the antibacterial efficiency was calculated based on the average reduction percentage of tested bacteria resulted from triplicate evaluations.
In addition, the standards would on average require only a 4% reduction in the cruise fuel consumption of new aircraft, compared to 2015.
In unpublished pilot data on 88 patients, we found an 8.6 point average reduction on the Roland (standard deviation of 6.7) at 4 weeks following the vertebroplasty procedure.
For example, what is the relevance of a two-point average reduction on a problem drinking scale such as AUDIT?
On average, a reduction of approximately two points or a reduction of approximately 30% in the PI-NRS represented a clinically important difference.
In adults with chronic pain, researchers estimate that on average, a reduction of approximately two points (average decrease −1.74) or of 30%% in pain scores (numeric rating scale from 0 to 10) represents a clinically relevant and meaningful difference [ 46].
For example, in the LRU cache with a size of 50%% of the optimal cache size, the reduction of (10) times in the number of peers inside the ISP has generated on average a reduction of 63.63 % in the efficiency of caching and a reduction of 88.89 % in the the efficiency of proxy-tracker.
