For example, the terms molarity and molality are sometimes confused in which one is a measure of the concentration of a solution, and the other is a concentration expressed in a number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. The same applies to endothermic vs. endergonic, atomic radius ...
It can be treated as a simple measure of past management intensity (Kahl & Bauhus, 2014). Spider and ground beetle richness showed a weak negative effect, and the rove beetle community reacted strongly towards an increase in the number of stumps. This suggests that these groups might be ...

The stats between the two group are pretty similar, in most factors. But I note that the primary tumor sizes, although matched, are generally big. The median is 8.8 centimeters. Bad enough, but the measure of ‘tumor burden’, which includes metastases, generally in two groups is pretty st...
