"a preliminary insight" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
You can use it when you want to describe a new idea or thought that is not yet fully formed. For example: "The survey results gave us a preliminary insight into what our customers want from our product".
The findings from the present study are important insofar as they provide a preliminary insight into the potential risk and resilience factors present in trainee HA workers.
Reasonably accurate estimates of quantitative responses of these complex coupled geochemical loading paths can be obtained, thus giving us a preliminary insight on chemo-hydro-mechanical coupled behaviours.
This work is the first documentation on the ND4 sequences of H. contortus from sheep and goats in Malaysia and Yemen and the results provide a preliminary insight on the genetic differences of H. contortus found in the two countries.
Various coding regions were sequenced to provide a preliminary insight into the bodonid genome sequence, relative to trypanosomatid sequences.
In conclusion, this study provides a preliminary insight into the problem of SMD in a rural community in sub-Saharan Africa.
Pygo2 mediates cancer cell survival and is therefore essential to the malignant tumor phenotype, and also provides a preliminary insight into how Pygo2 overexpression leads to lung cancer.
By including different pigs from the two independent domestications together with individuals representative of their wild ancestors, enabled a first preliminary insight into the change in pattern of CNVRs influenced by the process of domestication and/or the natural demographic history of pigs.
Furthermore, QD turned out to be an appropriate qualitative method for a small interview study where we wanted to gain preliminary insight into a specific topic.
To gain a preliminary functional insight into our gata3 clusters we analysed the representation of different gene families with the PANTHER (Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships: http://www.pantherdb.org) system [39].
To gain a preliminary mechanistic insight, we subjected a sterically biased aziridinyl amide 1 g to the reaction conditions.
To gain a preliminary mechanistic insight into the key effect of protic additives on the properties of the TmI2 reagent (note that in both cases no reaction was observed with TmI2 alone, see the Supporting Information), we examined the reactivity of TmI2 with a set of aromatic hydrocarbons with gradually increasing redox potentials in the presence of MeOH (Table 3).
