This barrier effectively destroys the system as a platform for exploratory, educational use.
However, they offer limited support for exploratory search," says Ruotsalo.
Using semistructured interviews is appropriate for collecting rich contextual information and for exploratory studies.
Most importantly, it confirms the important role of technology-related acquisitions for exploratory innovation.
Therefore, for exploratory purposes, we applied an alternative measure of central bias for each grid cell based on a two-dimensional Gaussian distribution centered over the image center.
Such assays are designed for exploratory studies.
It is considered appropriate for exploratory and descriptive studies.
Cox regression was used for exploratory multivariate analysis of survival.
Descriptive analyses were performed first for exploratory purposes.
Pre-operative assessment avoided the need for exploratory laparotomy.
