Alternatives: "a logical choice" or "a reasoned decision".
This may also make it possible to make a rational selection between alternate sediment transport laws.
In this work, a rational selection strategy was applied for choosing suitable sequestering phases for geranyl glucoside production by whole-cell biotransformation of geraniol.
Based on the diffusivity measurement in three electrode directions, a rational selection of the optimum electrode operation direction can be realized.
The results emphasize the importance of nonlinearity in gel mechanics, and suggest the possibility of a rational selection of layer elasticities, layer thicknesses and dilatation profiles for improved mechanical responses such as maximum/minimum swelling and multiaxial stress states.
Our studies enabled not only a rational selection of fetal tissue for transplantation but, among many parameters, also provide a system in which to manipulate and study organ size control.
Anyhow a rational selection of patients who might get benefit from the procedure is advocated.
Incorporation of new models, assays and biomarkers has expanded our ability to understand the mechanisms of action underlying microbicide toxicity and efficacy, enabling a more rational selection of drug and formulation candidates.
The prognostic indicators of favorable outcome would allow oncologists to make a more rational selection of therapeutic strategies without the unnecessary toxicities of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
We simply imply that analysis of network complexity may initiate development of mathematical tools that may lead to a more rational selection of targets.
In the next subsection, we list three examples to demonstrate that a solid understanding of the genetic changes underlying resistance allows rational selection of MDR-selective compounds.
Because not all of the bioassay data are relevant or useful for a particular type of toxicity, additional rational selection steps are needed to select useful information from the bulk of available big data.
