Mr. Obama enters the last stretch with a slight and consistent — but in some cases, shrinking — edge over Mr. Romney, his Republican rival, in polling from most of the 10 swing states where the campaigns are waging fierce and costly battles with television ads and armies of supporters.
Rate-dependent behavior of the STF-im-AR fabric was observed during uniaxial tensile testing; however, the effect of the STF treatment was slight and consistent with only the inherent effect of the polymeric nature of its constituent fibers.
Oxtr KO mice show robust decreases in reciprocal social interactions, and reduced levels of communication, but no changes in repetitive, ritualized behaviors; whereas Mecp2308/Y KO mice show a slight but consistent enhancement of social behavior and communication, and no changes in repetitive, ritualized behaviors.
He has built a slight but consistent lead in several polls, and Mrs. McGrath said that while she thought Mr. Ross was "absolutely great," she was leaning toward Mr. Connolly because he had dedicated himself to education for so long.
The slight but consistent discrepancy between the LSF and linear LIF measurements at local equivalence ratios above 1.6 may be attributed to a change in the collisional branching ratio from lean to rich stoichiometries and/or the need for further work on the electronic quenching cross-sections required for quantitative NO measurements under fuel-rich conditions.
Diastolic dysfunction was classified according to current guidelines, 16 and the cut-off values for E/A ratios and EDT were set with slight adjustments, consistent with the values in a previous community-based study.
Of our two alternatives for automatically selecting the penalty λ, we found a slight but consistent advantage of permutation selection (modified from Ayers and Cordell [ 2010]).
As shown in Fig. 7A and 7B, ectopic expression of miR-221/222 induced a slight, but consistent delay in the exit from the cell cycle up to 12 hours after induction of differentiation and a decrease in the accumulation of myogenin, most evident between 8 and 24 hours.
Serum deprivation led to a slight but consistent increase in PEG10-prom−1910 reporter activity in all assays (Figure 5B and 5C).
I use some other sneaky tricks to ensure that the drums sound pretty much quantized, but are deceptively not, and have slight amounts of consistent timing throughout.
Today, Apple has revealed its latest diversity numbers, showing slight but consistent improvement year over year.
