The phrase "an approximately double" is not correct in standard written English.
It can be used when describing a quantity that is roughly twice as much as another quantity, but it needs to be rephrased for clarity.
Example: "The new budget is an approximately double amount compared to last year's funding."
Alternatives: "about twice" or "roughly double".
In turn, the combined incubation with TMZ and EEP led to an approximately double reduction of NF-κB nuclear localization.
We estimated a prevalence of PAD of ~25% among patients without future occurrence vascular complications and an approximately double prevalence of PAD among subjects with vascular complications.
In the current study, high exposure to OCPs and PCB 153 was associated with an approximately double risk of prevalent type 2 diabetes.
Temperature displays temporal associations with pollution levels, and has previously been shown in this population to have an approximately double linear relationship with mortality, with a knot at 11°C [ 25].
The impact of SED on survival after stroke is substantial; around half of patients with stroke were in SED, and they had an approximately double risk of mortality compared to those without SED.
It is shown that Revision-A approximately doubles both the uplink spectral efficiency and the number of simultaneously active terminals with delay-sensitive applications.
Single crystals of salmeterol xinafoate (form I), prepared from slow cooled supersaturated propan-2-ol solutions, crystallize in a triclinic P¯1 symmetry with 2 closely related independent salt pairs within the asymmetric unit, with an approximately double-unit cell volume compared with the previously published crystal structure.
Thus, for each compound two predictions have to be calculated (one for the screening and one for the AD score) leading to an approximately doubled computation time.
We extended our studies and successfully demonstrate for the first time that human spermatozoa also respond to CO2 with an approximately doubled increase of beat frequency from 7.51 Hz to 14.62 Hz.
In developed countries, immunological non-responders also have an approximately doubled relative risk of clinical progression to AIDS compared to patients with an adequate response [10], although a study conducted in our own clinic could not confirm these findings in a resource-limited setting [11].
Interestingly, among the parasite clones/strains investigated, the FCR3S1.2 clone has the shortest replication cycle (44 46 h instead of 48 h), and in addition an approximately doubled multiplication rate compared to 3D7AH1 iRBC (data not shown) suggesting a potential benefit from increased amounts of Pf332.
