Our study found that the item-level higher-order structure of the TEAP test concurred with previous studies on the higher-order factor structure of L2 language ability (Bachman and Palmer 1989; Llosa 2007; Sawaki 2007; Sawaki et al. 2009; and Shin 2005).
The sAC-C2 domain could also be amplified from cDNAs in all tissues tested, consistent with previous studies demonstrating the presence of active sAC isoforms in a wide variety of tissues [ 2, 6, 34, 35].
Since there were so few biopsy patients and since there was no difference in actual durations of survival compared with the STR patients (P=0.671, χ-test), consistent with previous studies of patients receiving Bx or STR (Lacroix et al, 2001) these two actual groups were combined in further comparisons.
Our observation that the C2CR mice demonstrate greater anxiety-like behaviour in the EPM test and in the open-field test is consistent with previous studies demonstrating that 5-HT2C receptor agonists (i.e. increased 5-HT2C receptor signalling) elevate anxiety, while the antagonists are anxiolytic (Kennett et al., 1989; Jenck et al., 1998; Alves et al., 2004).
The increased sensitivity of the cobas EGFR test is consistent with previous studies of other PCR-based mutation assays [ 17- 19].
The dose-dependence observed in our field tests is consistent with previous studies [18], but the optimal doses differ, probably because of differences in trap designs and, more importantly, differences in end-point measurements.
Additionally, it is evident that the interquartile ranges for healthy and INPH patients are non-overlapping in all tests but the Trail making test B. Delayed recall being the most impaired test is in line with previous studies comparing healthy and INPH-patients [ 15].
The test results are compared with previous studies on zeolite-amended sandy soil/Na-bentonite backfills as well as compacted zeolite bentonite liners to assess the effects of zeolite content and zeolite grain-size on the compressibility and hydraulic conductivity.
The HSB line showed a significantly higher duration of stationary time (i.e. time frozen) than the LSB line (Fig. 1) in the open field test, which is consistent with previous studies from this laboratory [ 19, 32].
The median oxygen uptake during the baseline session of HF-NMES, LF-NMES or strength training ranged between 30 and 99% of the peak aerobic capacity measured during the cardiopulmonary exercise test, and was comparable with previous studies [ 7, 14, 15].
