The phrase "at a defined rate" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a specific, predetermined speed or frequency of an action, such as payments, interest, or production.
Example: "The loan will be repaid at a defined rate over the next five years."
Alternatives: "at a specified rate" or "at a set rate".
So let's say, for example, seizures after [diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus] vaccines, we know that those occur at a defined rate.
Non-serrated flow hence corresponds to a state in which a shear band can be continuously driven at a defined rate in the absence of shear-band arrest.
Drug delivery dosages can also be a combination of four formulations, diffusing at a defined rate while the reservoir is continuously replenished over six weeks by microsphere formulations, as described by Wang et al. [ 94].
Diagnosis-seeking active TB implies active seeking of diagnosis at a defined rate; the probability that any single diagnostic attempt will result in effective therapy is calculated as a function of diagnostic sensitivity, probability of empiric therapy (i.e., without bacteriological confirmation), prior treatment status, and losses to follow-up, as described below.
An analytical probe (10 mm diameter) was compressed twice into each formulation at a defined rate (2 mm/s) to a defined depth (15 mm), allowing a 15 s delay period between the end of the first and beginning of the second compression.
Specific growth rate can be controlled at a particular defined rate, lower than its maximum, by continuous (preferably exponential) substrate addition.
Third, the elastometer allowed the ES to be stressed in a defined manner, i.e. using a pressurized fluid to strain the ES at a constant and defined rate up to some preset level or by performing creep-relaxation tests with and without cyclic application of pressure (M. Brüggenwirth, unpubl. res).
The dilution rate was adjusted by feeding at a defined flow rate.
This would generate a steady sampling of conformations at defined rates at equilibrium (Scheme 1).
As the results demonstrate, specific peptide peaks are formed at a defined flow rate, respectively the proteins residence time.
Such patients were also assumed to generate secondary TB infections at a defined monthly rate.
