The phrase "a combination of partial" is not complete and lacks clarity in written English.
It can be used when discussing elements that are not whole or complete, but it needs additional context to convey a clear meaning.
Example: "The results were a combination of partial data sets that needed further analysis."
Alternatives: "a mix of incomplete" or "a blend of partial".
In this study, we characterized gels formed using a combination of partial oxidation of polymer chains and a bimodal molecular weight distribution of polymer.
A combination of partial acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis allowed Sanger and the Austrian biochemist Hans Tuppy to determine the complete sequence of amino acids in the phenylalanine chain of insulin.
A combination of partial least squares (PLS) and genetic algorithm (GA) was used in the QSAR approach to select the structural descriptors relevant to the receptor binding affinity of a series of 58 H3 antagonists.
When the time elapsed between the source release and the implementation of remediation was varied, it was found that, except for the longest elapsed time (50,000 days), a combination of partial source removal and plume remediation was most efficient.
Although the museum already had one of the most complete holdings of Strand's work, now through a combination of partial and promised gifts from the Philadelphia philanthropists Lynne and Harold Honickman, Marjorie and Jeffrey Honickman and Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest, it has received 1,422 images from the Paul Strand Archive at the Aperture Foundation, which is based in New York.
Roughly speaking, the strategy in (Ekren et al. 2016a; 2016b) is a combination of partial comparison, which is a comparison between a classical semisolution and a viscosity semisolution, and a variation of the Perron's approach.
Based on results reported in a British Petroleum patent, our analysis shows that oxidative pyrolysis is a combination of methane partial oxidation to carbon monoxide which produces heat and of methane pyrolysis to C2+ (mostly ethylene and acetylene) which consumes heat.
In boreal black-spruce forests of Eastern Canada, a cohort model of ecosystem management has been proposed whereby a combination of both partial and more intensive cutting are used to emulate old-growth stands and the re-establishment of stands following severe wildfire.
This dependence is due to a combination of differential partial volume sampling and suppression of absorption.
Genetic structure and historical demography of N. furzeri were analysed using a combination of mitochondrial (partial cytochrome b sequences, 687 bp) and nuclear (13 microsatellites) markers in 693 fish from 36 populations.
Function of the normal gene product is not currently known, but pathogenesis has been proposed to involve a combination of mechanisms: partial loss of function with reduced mRNA transcript and toxic gain of function with aggregation of long mRNA transcript into abnormal RNA foci [ 15].
