Despite the railway competition, traffic levels remained healthy, with the waterways carrying a total of 982,000 tons in 1878, but there was a growing dissatisfaction with the situation, particularly the high tolls compared to the railways, and the refusal to allow steam haulage, which had been in use on the neighbouring Aire and Calder Navigation for over 50 years.
Mean biomarker levels were higher among the toll collectors compared to the other two groups, however, the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05).
Regardless that the second, larger bomb resulted in a smaller death toll ("only" 50,000, compared to Hiroshima's 135,000), the bombing of Nagasaki has even less moral justification than Hiroshima, which was – arguably – the catalyst for the ending of the war in Asia, and – arguably – prevented a far greater death toll from the long conflict which would have otherwise have continued.
The HEFT has a toll gantry approximately every 12 mile, compared to toll plazas every 45 mile on average on the mainline.
Toll-9−/− mutant larvae and adults were always compared to Toll-9−/TM3 control larvae and +/+ control adults, respectively, from the same vial, to avoid variations due to external factors.
Other studies have found that wind farms are responsible for a variety of bird deaths, but ultimately concluded that their avian death toll is negligible when compared to that of other power plants.
Indeed, we found 1775±238 hemocytes per mm2 (n = 11420) in Toll-9−/− mutant larvae, compared to 1242±138 hemocytes per mm2 (n = 7990) in Toll-9−/TM3GMRYFP control larvae (less than a 2-fold increase).
"But that's nothing compared to the toll it's taken on us".
Yet compared to the toll in Haiti — near 316,000 — there were "not many killed".
