The SDQ parent ratings for each scale approximated the proportion of children in the clinical range according to the SDQ norms (Normative SDQ data from Britain – % in clinical range: 11.3% emotional symptoms, 12.7% conduct problems, 14.6% hyperactivity/inattention, 11.8% peer problems, and 2.4% prosocial behaviour).
"For BAME judges, the quota could reflect the approximate proportion of adults [from ethnic backgrounds] in the population as a whole or in the working population, or by reference to some other appropriate pool".
The origin of these differences is based on three main aspects: Firstly, the processing time tends to maintain an approximate proportion with the number of clients served by the system.
The distributed OPF algorithm presents similar convergence properties, with a rapid, early decrease in error and full convergence taking an increasing number of iterations in approximate proportion to the network size.
The non-dimensional coupling parameter is found to scale in approximate proportion to the device's characteristic length, however, and so although miniaturised devices are less efficient, greater efficiency can be obtained with large devices, such as those used to control civil engineering structures.
To date, researchers have mainly used the hypothesis of reduced energy costs to account for improved isolated high-speed actions [33] through a reduction in aerodynamic resistance in approximate proportion to the square of the velocity (e.g., when cycling, running, or throwing objects) [1, 5, 32].
In the 1990s it was estimated that humans were using 40 50% of the globally available freshwater in the approximate proportion of 70% for agriculture, 22% for industry, and 8% for domestic purposes with total use progressively increasing.
Thus, all major groups of microbes contributed to nitrogen metabolism in approximate proportion to their abundance, although Delta-Proteobacteria were better represented in the bench mussels and Cyanobacteria and Gamma-proteobacteria were also strongly associated with nitrogen metabolism.
As these totals included deaths from drug overdose as well as suicide by drug poisoning and adverse events from medications, we multiplied the counts by 75%, the approximate proportion of deaths from drug overdoses [44].
Again, this approximate proportion was found in both sex groups.
