Microscale pipette tips thus provided a useful basis for the rapid, approximate definition of a chromatography design space.
As RNAseq mapping provides only approximate definition of transcript ends, we searched for a promoter motif within an area +/− 250 bp from the point at which 5' short-read coverage for exon 1 ceased.
But the resulting error due to (generally small) non-equilibrium effects – involving dynamics or not – due to the degrees of freedom which are not included in the approximate definition of the reaction coordinate and other events not incorporated will lead to a typically small to modest decrease in the actual rate constant with respect to the TST value [14,27,30].
This brings me to the following protest at what another reader sees as overblown language in the Guardian, particularly in headlines: "Would it be possible to create a hierarchy of words in descending order of magnitude with approximate definitions?" Could I not do something about overheated language, the reader asked, before it became a disaster, or catastrophe, or tragedy?
Our study was limited by the definitions for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy used by the Nova Scotia Atlee Perinatal Database, and while these definitions are not exactly the same as commonly used definitions, they approximate definitions proposed by the Canadian Hypertension Society and other organizations [ 4].
To assess how well- generated definitions can approximate manually created definitions, we randomly selected 500 GO and 500 MeSH terms (listed in Supplementary Tables S5 and S6) and manually verified whether generated definitions matched the GO/MeSH definition or in another case gave useful information.
Departure times for these flights as specified during booking are by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.
For the VA ESSENCE system we included visits with an ICD-9 diagnosis code of influenza, fever, cough or sore throat to approximate the ILI definition used by ILINet and Cook County ESSENCE.
For the multivariate analyses, these database definitions were grouped to more closely approximate commonly used definitions such as those proposed by the Canadian Hypertensive Society and other international organizations [ 4].
Sony's Digital Reality Creation technology compares each line with a database of tens of thousands of digital video patterns and picks one to approximate a high-definition image.
In addition, however, the urban unemployment has been estimated approximating the ILO definition – that is, including migrants as well as persons with urban household registration and workers in unregistered employment in addition to workers in registered employment in both numerator and denominator.
