The results obtained by the watershed method at thresholds with the maximum F-measures take slightly lower processing time than the proposed method when the threshold selection time is not counted in the watershed method.
For the HD7970 this is (N_{mathrm{threads}}=256) while for the Kepler architectures (N_{mathrm{threads}}=512) gives a slightly lower execution time than (N_{mathrm{threads}}=256) and (N_{mathrm{threads}}=1024).
Results of a Linear Mixed Models analysis show that the mean predicted BMD values of the spine were slightly lower over time in patients with vertebral fractures (1.03 versus 1.06 g/cm, p = 0.283), while remaining stable over 5 years of treatment in both groups.
There can be a downside, with firms paying slightly lower wages over time to accommodate a tax rise, but there is no evidence to suggest catastrophic job losses.
Further, KOD and RTT showed slightly lower half-max time compared to PURA (p > 0.05) which were higher than TCP (p < 0.05, n = 6, Table 1).
Expression of TaSUT2 in the flag leaf sheath and peduncle tissues was almost similar across all the stages of seed development examined in this study, except that its level in the peduncle was slightly lower at the time of heading.
Median baseline values for FVC % pred and DLCO%% pred were slightly lower, and median time since diagnosis was slightly longer, among patients enrolled in ASCEND compared with the CAPACITY studies; however, there was considerable overlap in these and other measures of baseline disease status across studies (see online supplementary figure S1).
The R2 hemizygous line had a comparable doubling rate, whereas the hemizygous R1 and homozygous R4 lines had slightly lower population doubling times.
Local species richness was slightly lower at the second time of sampling (Fig. 3) compared to the first sampling (Fig. 2), but not significantly different.
