The phrase "are preferred between" is not correct in standard written English.
It is typically used incorrectly; "preferred" should be followed by "to" or "over" rather than "between."
Example: "Apples are preferred to oranges in this household."
Alternatives: "are favored over" or "are chosen instead of".
We asked which NDMRs are preferred (differentiating between 'fast-track' [FT] and 'non-fast-track' [NFT] management of patients), and what methods are used to assess neuromuscular function prior to extubation.
If such a time period is long enough, as in a drop-casting process, the polymer chains self-organize into a packing structure where attractions between the backbones are preferred to those between alkyl chains (form II).
We performed social network analysis (SNA) on trials on the prevention/management of caries/carious lesions, hypothesizing that certain comparators are proportionally overinvestigated, and others underinvestigated, and that comparisons within comparator classes are preferred over comparisons between classes.
In this study, the shortest routes are preferred, thus the distance between two nodes is an important metric.
Consequently in many technological applications mixtures of various surface-active structures are preferred and the interactions between them afford an understanding of the role of each individual structure and make possible their selection in a rational systematic manner for the optimization of the colloidal properties.
Independent and peer-reviewed sources of information are preferred by surgeons when choosing between methods and implants.
High b-values between 800-1200s/mm2 are preferred for imaging the female pelvis to eliminate affects of T2 shine through from cysts, bladder and bowel [ 24, 25].
The aluminum oxide walls, the 45° spherical-cap window and the 45° wall- angle receiver are preferred due to their best compromise between thermal efficiency and wall temperature.
Therefore, although attractions between the polymer backbones and between alkyl chains compete with each other in low MW P3HT, high MW P3HT always form a packing structure where attractions between alkyl chains are preferred (form I).
Short total procedure times are preferred as it minimises the time between the animal's removal from and return to its social group, and gives the advantage of the animal being able to consume food rapidly post sedation.
