We used the sum of improvement in the level in each MT task performance, as calculated above, and extracted the mean value of the pre-to post-training changes in neural measures (rGMV or resting FC) in each of the significant clusters identified above.
The correlation between the sum of improvement in the level in each MT task performance, as calculated above, and the mean value of the pre-to post-training changes in neural measures (rGMV or resting FC) in each significant cluster was tested.
The concept of learning-by-using reveals that the technical change that takes place in complex systems is given by the sum of small improvements in many different technological disciplines integrated in a specific configuration of this system.
The quality perceived by patients is the sum of quality improvements given by doctor's effort and practice's investment in facilities and nursing staff: Q_{zi}=q_{i}+e_{zi} (2).
As the amount of improvement in T20 and T50 values of PP (the blank sample) through the addition of both APP/PER and MWNTs is higher than the sum of the individual improvement in those values, respectively, by the addition of APP/PER and MWNTs, it could be assumed that there is a synergistic effect between APP/PER and MWNTs in this regard.
The probability of feeding everyone given no interventions was subtracted from the probability of success given all four interventions, truncated at an improvement of 4%% (the sum of the individual minimum improvements).
To interpret the previous results, we notice that CS and ET are the only methods that take into account the topology of the phylogenetic tree, which seems to be the key factor responsible for the improvement over the Sum-of-Pairs methods KBSP and VTSP.
A complete response was defined as complete resolution of disease in all three body compartments, and a partial response was defined as ≥50% improvement in the sum of the three assessments with ≥30% improvement in the skin, no worsening lymph nodes or Sézary cells, and no new tumors.
As a result of such steady improvements the sum of ESVs for Zhifanggou watershed reached to $113.44 ×1044 in 1999, nearly back to its peak in 1938.
