Mr. Bronson and his co-author, Ashley Merryman, present the body of research suggesting that tests administered before kindergarten — like those that determine admission to gifted and talented programs in New York and elsewhere — are far from solid predictors of future academic success.
Female sex was a strong predictor of solid fusion (odds ratio: 5.7, 95% confidence interval: 1.8 to 17.7, P < 0.01).
Whilst solid nodule consistency is of very limited value in identifying thyroid cancer, the finding of microcystic aggregates creating a 'spongiform' appearance is an extremely strong predictor of benignity (99.7 % negative predictive value) [9].
In conclusion, the use of synthesized proximal data from PXRF and VisNIR was shown to be a solid, stable predictor of soil TC and TN with widespread agronomic and environmental science applications.
A history of hematologic or solid malignancy (OR, 0.1; 95% CI, 0.0 0.7) was a strong negative predictor of miliary TB in our study (Table 5).
Charles R. Morris's "The Trillion Dollar Meltdown" (PublicAffairs; $22.95) was handed to the publisher last Thanksgiving, a fact that gives Morris, a former banker, rock-solid status as a predictor of the crash.
To evaluate the usefulness of configurational entropy as a predictor of single-phase (solid solution) stability, we prepared five new equiatomic, quinary alloys by replacing individual elements one at a time in a CoCrFeMnNi alloy that was previously shown to be single-phase [1].
Together, these and our data support further investigation of (protein truncating) TP53 mutation status as a potential predictor of chemotherapy responsiveness in solid tumors.
However in multivariable analysis, surgical status was not an independent predictor of mortality in patients with solid cancers.
