This is particularly interesting because of the sizeable welfare program that is characteristic of Nordic social policy (Sachs 2006), which is associated with some of the lowest crime rates, violent or otherwise (Barclay et al. 2001).
This study is one of the first comparisons of acoustic characteristics in a sizeable number of closely related species of fishes [see also [ 31]].
The fact that we did not observe changes in VHA user characteristics may suggest that sizeable numbers of veterans needed care but were not eligible to receive it through VHA prior to the changes in the VHA systems in 1996.
Because of the large size of the study population, several significant differences were noted in baseline characteristics between the two groups; however, sizeable differences were less frequent, except for the ratio of bystander CPR.
Whereas a characteristic of many IFR cases was the sizeable amount of research evidence (literature reviews and/or original research papers) included as background documentation and brought into discussion, with breast surgery cases there was a surprising lack of reference to formal evidence.
Against these studies, Ball et al. (2013) find a strong and stable relationship in most countries, but sizeable variations across countries explained by national labor market characteristics other than employment protection legislation.

Exposure to ROS triggers a sizeable gene expression program [9], [10], including the activation of a set of genes encoding a characteristic array of detoxifying enzymes [11] [13].
Whereas most metrics were found to be highly dependent on pixel size, several fractal metrics (DLFD, MPFD, and AWMPFD) were apparently independent of image resolution, in contradiction with a sizeable body of literature indicating that fractal dimensions of natural objects depend strongly on image characteristics.
