Sentence examples for spurious decrease from inspiring English sources

In such a case the increased recovery effects after MAF filtering can lead to a spurious decrease of the derived SUVmax values which does not correspond to an actual reduction of tracer uptake.

In the nonresponder group, in contrast, there was only a spurious decrease of the BOLD activity after 3 days, which then increased back to the initial levels after 7 and 28 days.

Moreover, significant heterogeneity of acoustic energy in different parts of the scan sector makes comparisons of backscatter signals from segments at the margins or lower depths difficult with those in the centre and attenuation also results in spurious decreases in myocardial VI.

We show that the common idea that spurious mixing decreases with resolution is generally false.

It is found that the spurious force oscillations decrease with decreasing the grid spacing and increasing the computational time step size, but they depend more on the grid spacing than on the computational time step size.

In general, longer k-mers increase transcript contiguity (longer transcript length) and specificity (less spurious overlaps) but decrease diversity (smaller number of contigs) compared to shorter k-mers [ 32].

Dietary vitamin C was also used as a continuous variable because interaction with a continuous variable refutes the possibility that dichotomizing dietary vitamin C intake might cause a spurious interaction; to decrease the skewness of the distribution, the statistical model included the logarithm of dietary vitamin C intake.

The method decreases spurious oscillations in the pressure field and consequently in the body force calculations which are a common issue in several immersed boundary methods.

This is especially true for low SUV lesions, which are likely to produce larger spurious increases than decreases (Fig.  2b).

It cannot be excluded that the contribution of thalamic tracer uptake in discriminating between the groups reflects more than a spurious finding since decreased thalamic activation has been reported in adolescent ADHD [ 52].

Results on static drop show a large decrease of spurious currents compared to other methods.
