Consistent with this view is Kaplan's contention that authoritarian regimes are often preferable to weak democracies.
In fact, process conditions that result in a smaller standard deviation are often preferable.
This is a main approach for the biotechnology industry, although small molecular weight drugs are often preferable because of their ease of application.
We show that in this environment patent rights and cash rewards are complements, and that GIPs are often preferable to patent races or prizes requiring technologies to be placed in the public domain.
Furthermore, the thermostability feature of B. stratosphericus lipase is an added value as high temperatures are often preferable to remove difficult stain in cotton and synthetic materials (Bora and Bora 2012).
Curved beams and shells are often preferable to straight beams and plates, as exemplified by most vegetable, animal and even mineral creations, as well as by a large variety of human architectural and engineering works.
In addition, the chemical stability may be reduced, and therefore crystals are often preferable in solid pharmaceutical formulations.
Wild-type mice are often preferable for use in these studies, but correspondence with genetic background strains in the transgenic studies should be considered.
Self-completed questionnaires that are given directly to patients without the intervention of clinicians are often preferable to the clinician-administered interview and rating.
Since random-effect modelling has stringent data assumptions (e.g. sufficient number of groups, distributional assumptions of the random effect), robust alternatives such as generalised estimating equations (GEE) or robust variance estimation are often preferable [ 20– 20].
EST-SSR markers are often preferable to RFLP, AFLP, and RAPD markers, since EST nucleotide sequences generally show higher levels of similarity across different species, genera, and families than sequences from intergenic regions.
