Previous studies have hypothesized that reduction in cell size could be advantageous, either to optimize surface-to-volume ratio for uptake of scarce nutrients (Dufresne et al. 2005; Giovannoni et al. 2005; Moya et al. 2009), or to decrease predation by bacterivores or bacteriophages (Yooseph et al. 2010).
The authors of the study had hypothesized that statin use would stabilize coronary plaques and reduce myocardial ischemia and infarction, and thereby decrease the rate of sudden death in patients with ischemic heart failure, a population in which half of the sudden deaths are caused by plaque rupture.
The accumulating evidence of epidemiologic, chemical and toxicologic studies has hypothesized that the etiology of lung cancer in Xuanwei is strongly associated with high exposure to the domestic emissions of "bituminous coal" (formerly known as "smoky coal").
A previous study based on morphology has hypothesized that B. lapidarius has survived up to the last Ice Age in Iberia, Italy, Balkans, and Turkey prior to a post-glacial recolonization of Europe from the Balkans [ 42].
"Some previous studies have hypothesized that sleep can affect hormone levels, which may cause changes in desire and arousal.
Recent studies have hypothesized that laboratory contamination may influence interpretation of Hybrid Capture II (HCII) human papillomavirus (HPV) detection assay values.
Although, there are numerous reports of the effects of RME on the nasal airway, only a few of those studies have hypothesized that RME "straightens" the nasal septum, thereby correcting nasal septal deviation [15, 16, 19, 35].
Recent studies have hypothesized that the randomly distributed two-phase microstructure of GO, which arises due to its oxidized chemistry, leads to differences in nano- vs meso‑scale mechanical responses.
Different studies have hypothesized that they may be closely related to the extinct Gaindetherium or Punjabitherium.
Previous studies have hypothesized that an increase in cloud cover during the wet season explained a decline in productivity, but did not include cloud data.
