Although conditioning with an internal criterion such as total score produces DIF values with a trade off between positive and negative values as DIF values are statistically dependent [ 26], it is interesting that the items which systematically presented opposite values were Walking and CLP items.
So why do so many boards and managers, supported by politicians, systematically do the opposite – run companies as top-down dictatorships, pursue growth by merger, destroy teamwork with runaway incentives, attack employment rights and conditions, outsource customer service, treat their stakeholders as resources to be exploited, and refuse wider responsibilities to society?
The scientific method requires rigorous testing of a hypothesis (Iraq has weapons of mass destruction) and its opposite hypothesis by systematically weighing all the evidence for and against each hypothesis.
In contrast, LIM showed the opposite pattern: activity decreased systematically in response to the large visual objects, compared with the smaller ones (F3,33 = 15.19, P < 10−5).
Here, we systematically inspected the two diseases representing phenotypically opposite cell fates, death and survival, by utilizing functional enrichment analysis and a systems biology approach [ 9].
Eight protein families had an opposite conservation pattern; they were systematically absent in viruses infecting the same algal host but were present in all the other CVs.
In this case the crosstalk between ΔHbR and ΔHbO2 is systematically small, owing to the large and opposite difference between their molar extinction coefficients at 750 and 850 nm (Fig. 1).
All this is well and democratic, but it isn't the same as a relentless and systematic effort to maximize health gain for money or systematically improving customer service, and indeed may be the opposite.
MOD17 GPP was systematically higher than LPJ-GUESS GPP, but the opposite applied for NPP. Figure 2 GPP and NPP for Africa.
