In the context of energy-adjusted, rather than total, intake, the HLF group increased their fiber intake per 1000 kcal despite substantial reductions in the total and proportional carbohydrate intake, while the HLC group roughly maintained their fiber intake per 1000 kcal. Given that most of the...

Indeed, roughly speaking, the experimental cross section σexp(s) is related with the underlying theoretical cross section σth(s) by a relation of the form σexp(s) = σth(s) + δσ (s) and the δσ (s) correction depends on the normalization uncertainties which just motivate the ...
