The missing β-values were caused by probes with only a few good quality bead-level replicates, for which therefore no β-values were reported.
"…[T]he function of the artist is to find ways of communicating, in sensible, sensuous terms, those experiences which do not find adequate expression in the daily round of living and for which, therefore, no ready made means of communication exists…" wrote Bearden in his first solo exhibition pamphlet in 1940 (1).
That's economese for payments that aren't contingent on the recipient's actions, and which therefore give no incentive for changed behavior.
To make doubly sure, they transplanted faeces from mice that had been drinking artificial sweeteners into others that had been raised in sterile conditions, and which, therefore, had no gut bacteria of their own.
She walked on court wearing her new Nike boots, the uppers of which are removed to reveal a rather sedate pair of trainers and which therefore serve no purpose other than to advertise the sportswear manufacturer's $40m£22.3m3m) investment in her.
And, of course, as Brooks has pointed out, Obama was in fact willing to put the entitlement cuts Democrats "didn't want" on the table in a big way, as part of a package that also included things the Republicans "didn't want," and which therefore had no chance of being adopted.
These conclusions remained unchanged when the analysis was extended to include the 3 deletions with an insertion at the breakpoint junction (and which, therefore, showed no microhomology).
The medical and nursing staff were blinded to BAC results, which therefore had no influence on patient management.
As recommended in biomarker studies, the treating physicians were blinded to the auto-antibody results, which therefore had no incidence on the therapeutic strategy.
By increasing the expression of CCR5 on dying cells, lipoxin A4 contributes to scavenging CCR5 ligands, which therefore are no longer available for recruiting new cells, which in turn reduces inflammation.
However, another study showed that ethanol-fed animals whose adrenal glands had been removed (i.e., which had been adrenalectomized) and which therefore could no longer produce glucocorticoids still had fewer thymocytes than control adrenalectomized animals (Jerrells et al. 1990).
