Given this process selection background, the design team is able to better assess which process is optimally suited for the part or product under consideration.
Given this rationale, selection was determined by the potential for learning rather than representativeness [ 39] according to two simple criteria: that the practice deliver good chronic illness care, without being markedly atypical in size, location, history or funding.
Given this potential selection bias one might expect a higher rate of resistance and higher prevalence of pathogenic bacteria in the NH, but the results in our study show no such difference.
Given this self-selection, participants of this study may be more interested in the topic of comparative healthcare information than the average THA/TKA population.
Given this definition, natural selection will act to maximise the inclusive fitness of individuals in the population (Grafen 2006).
Given this limited mainstream selection, smaller toy companies have found their niche marketing more diverse alternatives.
Given this combination of selection criteria, the presence of some chemicals near or above the risk assessment based screening criteria is not unexpected.
This is surprising given the selection of this commercial population for improved growth rate for a number of generations.
This is not surprising given the selection pressure on this gene from the immune system and antibiotic treatment.
Given this past history of selection, opportunities for further tradeoff-free improvements (those hypothetical changes increasing fitness under all conditions) are now rare or nonexistent.
While prediction accuracy is traditionally measured as the correlation (r) between predicted and observed line values given this statistics connection with selection accuracy, we measured the coefficient of determination (r) obtained by regressing line values against predicted line values obtained by GBLUP or by bagging family-nested QTL models during cross-validation.
