The GH and VT scales were expected to show substantial correlations with both components and the SF scale was expected to show a substantial cross-loading on the physical component.
All variables that showed the association with follow-up changes of adiponectin concentration or A/L ratio in univariate model (P < 0.2) and did not show substantial correlations (r > 0.5) with another independent variable were then included in the multiple linear regression analysis to determine independent predictors.
A previous classification developed by Schwab et al has met with clinical relevance but did not include pelvic parameters, which have shown substantial correlation with health-related quality of life measures in recent studies.
For relatively strong STAT1 binding sites, the binding preferences in response to IFN-γ versus IFN-α showed substantial correlation.
The analysis of the ranking of hospitals showed substantial correlation in hospitals' performance between year t and year t + 1.
The level of oxidative stress in cells shows substantial correlation with proliferation rate of cells, thus indicating that generation of free radicals and oxidative stress are the main ways for the nanometer materials to cause cytotoxicity damage.
Several in vitro studies have shown substantial correlations between environmental salinity and expression and/or activity of Na+, K+-ATPase (Naka) in teleost fish [ 21- 26].
Concentrations of Cu, Se, and Zn, and of As and Hg showed substantial correlations, concentrations of As and Hg due mainly to common genetic effects.
The results for the LexTALE showed substantial correlations that were, furthermore, of almost equal size for words and nonwords (words, r =.77; nonwords, r =.76; both ps <.001).
For convergent validity, Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated for the QSC (Questionnaire on Stress in Cancer Patients QSC R 23 – revised version; Herschbach et al, 2004a) and the HADS Hospital Anxietyy and Depression Scale; Zigmond and Snaith, 1983) and showed substantial correlations with the PO-Bado.
