On the outer shelf, the carbonates commonly grade into laminated mudstone and shale that accumulated in deeper water.
Modern carbonate sediments are composed almost entirely of metastable aragonite (CaCO3) and magnesium-rich calcite, both of which readily recrystallize during diagenesis to form calcite. Carbonate rocks commonly grade naturally into siliciclastic sedimentary rocks as the proportion of terrigenous grains of varying size and mineralogy increases.
The deterioration of stormwater pipes is commonly graded into structural and serviceability condition using CCTV inspection data in order to recognize two different deterioration processes and consequences.
On a cm- and dm-scale, microbial and resedimented facies are arranged into symmetric or asymmetric microbialite cycles with resedimented facies commonly grading upward into microbialite facies.
It is shown that UHPC of compressive strengths in the range of 130 160 MPa can be produced using commonly graded aggregates without the requirement for complex mixing or curing regimes.
The histologic grade of their primary tumors was most commonly grade II, followed closely by grade III, with grade I being relatively rare.
In the phase II portion of the study, 76% of 42 patients experienced any grade ⩾3 toxicity, most commonly grade ⩾3 granulocytopenia.
Prostate tumours are most commonly graded using the Gleason score, determined by the histological characteristics of the glandular architecture within the tumour.
This is most commonly grade 1 epistaxis, though more serious, and in some cases, fatal hemorrhagic events have occurred, including hemoptysis (particularly in patients with squamous cell lung cancer), gastrointestinal bleeding, hematemesis, intracerebral hemorrhage, epistaxis, and vaginal bleeding.
Performance status reflects the physical activity of patients and their ability to care for themselves and is commonly graded on a scale of 0 to 4 (the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale) where patients with a performance score of 0 have no restrictions from their malignancy and patients with a score of 4 are completely disabled, bedbound and unable to carry out any self care.
