Under inflammatory conditions hyaluronan is more polydisperse with a preponderance of lower-molecular forms, and favors edematous infiltration of the tissues [ 49] as well as the interstitial fluid flow and the tissue lymph pressure gradient [ 72].
This dual role played during the inflammation phases depends on HA molecular mass indeed; in its native state, it generally exists as a high-molecular-mass polymer whereas, under inflammation, HA is more polydisperse, with a preponderance of lower-molecular-mass forms [ 2].
The results of the study showed a preponderance of relatively lower-grade and ER-rich tumours in older women.
While many objective studies in the U.S. have suggested that individuals of African ancestry have characteristically worse sleep patterns [ 1, 2], relative to those of European descent, the preponderance of evidence indicates lower rates of insomnia symptoms among the former.
Given the preponderance of people on lower incomes among non-attenders, incentive schemes, whether based on finance or benefits in kind, may prove particularly effective and could be considered.
Adrian Stanfield, Tonbridge and Malling borough council's director for central services and monitoring, says the gender pay gap reflects a "preponderance" of women in lower-paid roles.
Under pressure from the office for civil rights, Yale recently formalized the lower "preponderance of evidence" standard that is gradually becoming more common.
Nevertheless, a judge found — by a preponderance of the evidence, a lower standard of proof — that Mr. Alleyne reasonably foresaw that his accomplice would brandish a gun.
This standard is higher than the typical standard of proof in civil trials ("preponderance of the evidence") and lower than the standard for criminal trials ("beyond a reasonable doubt").
Under the 2011 policy, accusations must be evaluated not under the "beyond a reasonable doubt" burden of proof used in criminal courts, but instead under the much lower "preponderance of the evidence" standard, which requires a finding against the accused if the probability of guilt is more than 50percentt.
