The phrase "a parallel class of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing groups or categories that share similarities or characteristics in a specific context, such as in academic or technical writing.
Example: "In our study, we examined a parallel class of algorithms that exhibit similar performance metrics to those previously analyzed."
Alternatives: "a comparable category of" or "an equivalent group of".
Each parallel class of a uniformly resolvable design (URD) contains blocks of only one block size.
Each parallel class of a uniformly resolvable design (URD) contains blocks of only one block size k (denoted k-pc).
We also require that each parallel class of the subdesign should be in a single parallel class of the containing design.
Shrikhande and Raghavarao (1963) published a recursive construction for designs that starts with a resolvable design (the "master design") and then uses a second design ("the indexing design") to take certain unions of blocks in each parallel class of the master design.
It is proved that the collection of blocks of an affine 1-design that yields a linear orthogonal array is a union of parallel classes of hyperplanes in a finite affine space.
Further, a resolution into parallel classes of any specified sizes obeying these conditions is realisable in some design.
We also prove that there exists a URD with index one, some parallel classes of block size three, and exactly five parallel classes with block size four if, and only if, v≡0(mod12), v≠12.
We performed a cross sectional survey of a class of 129 3rd year medical students and two parallel classes of 1st year osteopathic students (112 total) enrolled in either the full or part-time curriculum.
A new version of a previously validated questionnaire and an instrument from the literature (the Examining Fellow Student [EFS] questionnaire) were used for a cross-sectional survey in a class of 129 3rd year medical students and in two parallel classes of 1st year osteopathic students (total of 112 students).
Various approaches to distinguishing parallel and serial processing have been proposed, but many do not satisfactorily address the mimicking dilemma between serial and parallel classes of models.
