Several slightly improved Q-parameter ratings form the basis of the predicted improvements in general rock mass properties that can be achieved by pre-grouting.
This can be achieved by pre-selecting more individuals than needed within each stratum, or more residences within each area, allowing for a defined non-contact rate based on expectation (perhaps informed by a pilot study [see page 21]).
For example, Norad et al. (1986) found that a 40percentt reduction in cooking time could be achieved by pre-soaking the grain before alkali cooking.
However, substantial savings could be achieved by pre-selecting the candidates to be genotyped based on their parental EBV, and still maintain an advantage over the traditional pBLUP scheme.
Moreover, protection in mice can be achieved by pre-vaccination of animals with a plasmid encoding a 15 kDa protein (SP15) present in the sialome of P. papatasi [ 21], though protection is mediated by different antigens in different hosts [ 21, 25- 27].
Low-temperature activation was achieved by pre-treating the catalyst with CH4.
Substantial improvement of shape memory properties of the stainless type Fe 15Mn 5Si 9Cr 5Ni–(0.5 1.5 NbC (mass%) alloys has been achieved by pre-deformation at room temperature.
Conversion of the cellulose to glucose was achieved by pre-treatment method for the agricultural residues first applying chemical pulping and steam explosion method as well as microwave treatment then followed by two processes, namely acid hydrolysis and enzyme hydrolysis.
A seven-fold enhancement in energy conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell was achieved by pre-depositing a closely packed TiO2 thin film on the surface of the conducting glass.
