The GHQ-12 was used as an initial screening test followed by the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90-R).
This technique may be reserved as an initial screening test to evaluate the uterine cavity and test patency.
Radiographs often serve as an initial screening tool to assess for pincer or cam lesions, hip dysplasia, or advanced osteoarthritis [16].
As an initial screening, liquids were evaluated for their S&E characteristics, which included an assessment of waste disposal rating (WDR), contact dose, and radioactive afterheat.
As an initial screening of the effectiveness of sonication, a sonicated nanofluid and an unsonicated specimen were placed still in the lab for more than 1 week to assess settling.
As an initial screening tool, the approach is superior to the in vitro characterization of recombinant enzyme candidates, and provides a standardized functional genomics opportunity for otherwise recalcitrant exotic plant species.
This study aimed to establish an in vitro model of 6-hydroxydopamine 6-OHDA -inducedd toxicity, used as an initial screening test to identify effective drugs against neural degeneration related to PD.
A systematic experimental design based on first order model of 24 full factorial design was used as an initial screening process to determine the significant variable factors and their inter-relationship towards natural organic matter (NOM) removal efficiency.
Although this parameter is not very sensitive and may be affected by non-pollutant factors, such as season, disease and nutritional level, it is used as an initial screening biomarker to indicate exposure and effects or to provide information on energy reserves (Mayer et al. 1992; Linde-Arias et al. 2008b).
We show that, by using 20% of the screening library as an initial screening set, very accurate predictions of the gain for the remaining library can be obtained, identifying the optimal gain in between 8 and 10 out of 12 cases depending on the cost function used.
Those "credible fear" interviews are conducted by immigration authorities as an initial screening for asylum requests.
