The phrase "a series of stepwise" is not correct as it is incomplete and lacks a noun to follow "stepwise." You can use it when describing a process that occurs in sequential steps, but it needs to be part of a complete phrase.
Example: "The project will be completed through a series of stepwise procedures."
Alternatives: "a sequence of steps" or "a progression of stages."
A series of stepwise increasing irradiance intensities (red LEDs; 0-2000 μmol photons m−2 s−1) were applied in 20 s intervals to obtain the 'steady-state' fluorescence level (F′) and then a saturating pulse (>10,000 μmol photons m−2 s−1, 0.6 s duration) was triggered to reach the maximum fluorescence level (Fm′).
In order to accommodate a simulation of on-line refueling and reprocessing scenarios, several in-house programs together with a run script were developed to integrate a series of stepwise TRITON calculations; the result greatly facilitates the neutronics analyses of long-term MSR operation.
Diffusion was simulated as a series of stepwise displacements of Aβ, where in each time-step half of the material moved towards infinity and the other half towards negative infinity.
We conducted a series of stepwise ordinary least squares regression models to identify whether ethnic linguistic group remained statistically significant after controlling for other variables.
De novo assembling of high quality reads was performed using SOAPdenovo program which applies de Bruijn graph algorithm and a series of stepwise strategies [ 15].
In order to establish whether gender and age-group differences can be explained by health symptoms, a series of stepwise regression analyses were conducted.
A series of backward stepwise regression was performed for each dependent variable starting with all the independent variables.
Based on these predictions, we conducted a series of planned stepwise comparisons, comparing treatments with successively lower capture levels in turn.
To identify the most predictive variables of MRSA vs. non-MRSA infection, we constructed a series of backward stepwise logistic regression models on bootstrapped with replacement (simulated) datasets from the development set and created a frequency table indicating the number of times the eligible predictors entered these stepwise regression models.
The copolymers obtained at different conversion and Al/Ti ratio were isolated to a series of fractions by stepwise isothermal crystallization fractionation from 80 °C to −20 °C.
In this paper this perspective is explored further by experimentally constructing a series of devices that stepwise and gradually are spanning from classical PEC-cells to traditional PV-electrolyzers.
