On this year's reading test, for instance, fourth-grade black students scored 27 points below whites on the assessment's 500-point scale, a slight improvement over 2003, when blacks scored 31 points lower than whites.
First of all by working in small scale, any slight error would be magnified – a tiny error in a 30cm long model of Diplodocus representing an animal that may have been more than 25m could easily result in a huge error when scaled up the necessary 90 or so times.
However, 15 patients had scores of ≤ 2 on the VAS scale, indicating slight or no pain.
In the current study, the relationship is profound on the basic scale but slight on the other scales.
It is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (none, slight, moderate, severe limp or unable to walk).
Pain measures allowed for the calculation of TOTPAR or SPID were a standard five point pain relief scale (none, slight, moderate, good, complete), a standard four point pain intensity scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) or a standard visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain relief or pain intensity.
T7 was subjected to a genomic viable mutation rate of over four viable mutations per genome per generation; despite a predicted fitness decline of 60% on a log scale, a slight fitness increase was observed at 200 generations (Springman et al. 2010).
Mucin deposition in the reticular dermis was evaluated by scoring the degree of acid mucopolysaccharide staining on a semiquantitative scale as negative, very slight, slight, fair or abundant [ 16].
Hedonic scale data showed slight deviation from normality and lack of homoscedasticity.
