In the literature

The overall implication is that the average executive function (GMLT) score improved by a statistically and practically significant amount for males with at most 12 years of education, but apart from these less educated males the average GMLT scores were not (statistically) different in this sample.
Based on power of 0.80 and alpha set at 0.05 (two-tailed), this sample size was adequately powered to detect a small effect size (Cohen’s d > 0.38) corresponding with what Ferguson (2009) classified as ‘minimal effect size representing a practically significant effect for social science data.’ Participants ( n = 175) were aged between 21 and 80 years old ( M = 37.13, SD = 12.69), and tended to be GPs/physicians (48.5%), clinical dieticians (21.7%), or medical students (9.7%), with small numbers of registrars, nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
While the key parameters of the most practically significant scenarios of laser-induced filamentation are known to obey, to a reasonable approximation, a set of physically transparent scaling laws in their behavior as functions of laser pulse widths, propagation paths, and beam-focusing geometries 30 , 31 , 32 , any scaling with respect to the ratio P / P cr of the laser peak power, P , to the critical power of self-focusing, P cr , is inherently limited as this ratio controls the number of filaments that a high- P laser beam breaks up into and defines the limits of the single-filamentation regime 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 .
