The decision on the number of factors to retain included a combination of interpretability, observing scree plots and retaining factors with Eigen-values greater than one [ 37].
It is determined by optical fractography that the failure mechanisms in the square-wave joint are a combination of those observed in the butt and double-lap shear joints, and consequently a simple model for the strength and toughness of the square-wave joint is developed.
Moreover, the organization of the myofibrils and sarcoplasmic reticulum was a combination of those observed in the sonic and epaxial muscles of calling fish.
Ethnography consists of a combination of participant observation (observing activity whilst engaging directly with the world being studied), informal conversation, and formal interviews, within a social group.
pxy er mutants demonstrated a height defect but this was an additive phenotype as average plant height was a combination of the reductions observed in the single mutants (supplementary material Figs S7, S8).
For certain MLST analyses, alleles at each locus were assigned simple numerical identifiers, which we refer to as digitized nine-locus STs; e.g., 16-1-1-4-6-2-3-4-13 representhea combinineon of unique alocies observed at the nine loci in ST FSSC 2-c1.
"Unfortunately a combination of the general proprieties of observing the secrecy of budget decisions, together with the difficulty of reaching senior levels of the Papua New Guinea government in the days before the budget prevented that from happening in the way we would have liked that to happen".
The reason for this is related to the chance of observing a combination of risk alleles in the same individual, and the fact that the number of combinations grows as a 2 r, where r is the number of known risk alleles.
Localised deformation of the Armco iron was observed following deposition of titanium particles, whereas a combination of particle substrate deformation was observed in titanium-low carbon steel and titanium-austenitic stainless steel.
Stephenson, the largely self-educated mechanic, arrived at his design of lamp by what has been called "practical empiricism": a combination of, as David Knight has observed, intuition and common sense, involving a fair amount of trial and error.
