Banks tend to profit more when the long-term rates they lend at are higher than the short-term rates at which they borrow. So, their profit margins tend to tighten when the yield curve flattens. Given this logic, a flattening yield curve could lead to lenders becoming more cautious about ...
Pitch and slope are frequently used interchangeably, but they represent different mathematical equations. However, for our purposes, we only need to know they both indicate the roof’s incline. And, as it is, steeper roofs require more time and safety measures than those without as much rise....
Higher statistical significance was obtained using a long track dummy than length of journey. We also noted a strong positive correlation between engine cylinder capacity and rated power (R2 = 0.6373), so only one of these was used in the final regressions, namely rated power, as it ...
One participant showed higher HR, lower LF, HF, and VLF powers, and a steeper power-law slope ( p<0.005, 0.0001) in an early night exposure to the real magnetic field, but not in other circadian stages. There was no significant difference between circadian responses to real and sham ...
Increasing host diversity was associated with reduced nymphal tick infestations of rodent hosts, which at first sight could be interpreted as evidence of a dilution effect inhibiting invasion of I. scapularis. However, increased host diversity was associated with higher Peromyscus spp. mouse abundance,...
The steeper the slope is, the more powerful this force becomes. It’s also worth noting that going uphill will increase your speed reading even when moving at the same speed as you would on an equal downhill slope. City Driving The D mode is for driving on the highway; the D3 mode ...
The gamma-intercept was higher in the infant group (p <0.01), and the slope of the mean regression line was steeper than in the older children (p <0.01). Ventricular mass in relation to body surface area increased with age. We conclude that (1) newborn infants have a higher basal ...
In our sample, across the duration of the study (2006–2008), we observed a stronger rate of decrease (steeper slope) in daily mean step counts and AEE on weekends than on schooldays, for both genders and both groups of children (Figures 1 2). This finding further highlights the ...
· hr). Renal clearance was gender-independent and negligible. A linear relationship (p< 0.001) could be found between the blood levels of ethanol and sedation index. Because the slope was steeper in women (1.04) than in men (0.42) a higher central nervous system sensitivity to the sedative...
In predictive coding models, there may or may not be increased central gain leading to hyperactivity of auditory cortex, as this is not the determinant of whether tinnitus occurs (though it is usually a major contributor). Instead, higher perceptual networks that normally act to disregard ...
