The association with mortality was weaker for tibia bone lead, thus a downward influence on the associations reported here between tibia lead and ECG characteristics is less likely; however, were it to be present, it would suggest that the adverse associations we found would be underestimates.
We have previously found a strong association between patella bone lead and cardiovascular mortality (Weisskopf et al. 2009), which could exert a downward influence on the effect estimates found here, possibly leading to the inverse association with AVCD.
In essence, the larger context within which lower-level processes are nested generally exerts a stronger downward influence, while the lower-level variables generally exert a weaker upward influence (Hitt et al., 2007).
A downward influence is thus exercised on primary product prices.
These simulations indicate aqueous TCE migration is diffusion-dominated with only small advective influence by the downward groundwater velocity of 2 to 3 cm/year or less in the aquitard due to pumping of the underlying aquifer to supply water to the facility in the past 50 years.
In 1995 Nine Inch Nails went on tour with David Bowie, who along with Pink Floyd had been a significant influence on The Downward Spiral.
This decline is influenced by the downward trend in demand for wood, and is in line with declines in population and building construction up until 2013.
Indeed, this is one key counterweight to the downward trend in organized labor's influence".
They create biogenic aggregates on the soil surface, e.g., earthworm casts and termite sheetings, which can influence soil erosion and the downward transfer of fertility.
Influenced by late-1970s works by Pink Floyd and David Bowie, The Downward Spiral features a wide range of textures and moods to illustrate the mental progress of a central character.
