However, if multiple optimal trees were presented, and the authors explicitly preferred one or a subset of these, we followed this preference [ 32].
One character, Cypher, explicitly prefers the world of the programmed Matrix, with its sensual pleasures, compared with the reality of darkness, warfare and struggle.
The second version of Thomas's story is explicitly preferred by Genesios and Theophanes Continuatus, and is the only one recorded in 9th-century sources, namely the chronicle of George the Monk and the Life of Saints David, Symeon, and George of Lesbos.
Where no tree is explicitly preferred, we take the most comprehensive tree, because supertrees are designed to be comprehensive.
As shown in Table 1, when cells were analyzed by specifically gating on individual Vβ populations after co-staining with tetramer, two Vβ types were explicitly preferred, Vβ8 (Vβ8.2, Vβ8.2, or Vβ8.3) and Vβ14.
However, when homeostasis is challenged (eg, prolonged macronutrient imbalance), implicit processes appear to play a stronger determining role in decisions about what to eat (eg, after the low-protein diet, subjects implicitly, but not explicitly, preferred high-protein foods).
For non-independent source trees in the same publication, the preferred tree was the consensus of these trees in the first instance, followed by the most taxonomically complete tree or that explicitly preferred and justified by the authors.
The 'one size fits all' approach to ethical reviews limits the production of knowledge about healthcare as it effectively devalues forms of enquiry that breach an implicitly, sometimes even explicitly preferred research paradigm.
There is no explicitly defined preferred method for taking these factors into account.
We prefer to explicitly call the ratio of the working-age to the non-working-age population the total support ratio, in line with the logic of the three versions of dependency ratio: total, youth, and old-age.
