Familial relative risk is a useful measure of overall amount of variation in inherited susceptibility to the disease, and any familial risk 'unexplained' by the known genes provides evidence for other genes [ 20].
We sought to determine whether sleep continuity could be a useful metric to quantify the amount of sleep with recuperative function in critically ill patients with usual sleep EEG features.
But even with the achieved linewidth of 50 ppm, this can be a useful portable sensor for small amounts of liquid samples with restricted molecular mobility, like gels, polymers or high viscosity liquids.
Information theory can be a useful tool in objectively quantifying the amount of redundancy associated with lab tests.
This study suggests that a polyphenol-rich extract from blackcurrant pomace ingested at relatively high amounts may be a useful therapeutic option in the reversal of dysfunctions related to obesity and its complications.
It was demonstrated that a useful amount of [11C]CH4 and [18F]-fluoride can be produced simultaneously by this newly designed system.
It can stop fragments of glass and similar shrapnel, but is thin enough to be translucent and thus let a useful amount of daylight through a window.
If chips are as hot as power stations, the thinking goes, why not use them as such?In practice, not enough heat is generated to make a useful amount of electricity.
Technically the magnets would eventually wear each other out and align with one another, but that's a minor concern compared with the fact that this system simply isn't practical for creating a useful amount of power.
Based on an analysis of insecticide use and climate data from several European countries, she concluded that the average spring air temperature is a useful predictor of the amount of insecticide applied: the warmer the spring, the more is the insecticide applied and the earlier is the first application.
