AEs were graded based upon the CTCAE 4.0.
The course was offered for one unit of credit and was graded based upon participation (meeting the expectations for class attendance and reporting on meetings with their mentor).
Numerical examples are provided to show the effect of the geometry of the interacting crack and the parameter β describing the functionally graded materials upon the stress intensity factor of the cracks.
The vehicles were graded based upon a five-point scale for each test, which would be multiplied by a coefficient of importance for each test.
Samples were graded based upon the percent of positive control staining above negative control staining, with a positive test being >25% above background.
Evidence was graded based upon study design (randomised controlled trial=high, observational study=low, any other evidence=very low), study quality, consistency and directness of evidence.
Toxicity was graded based upon the SWOG CTC profile (Green and Weiss, 1992) and was recorded at 4-weekly intervals throughout the study.
H&E-stained, sagittal sections of the entire brain from all available mice were evaluated by an ACVP-board-certified veterinary pathologist (P.L.M ., and the tumors were graded based upon the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification for human astrocytomas (Raza et al., 2004; Raza et al., 2002).
Via stacking up a number of individual layers, the graphene platelet (GPL) nanofillers are distributed uniformly and three different functionally graded patterns based upon a layerwise change of the GPL weight fraction through the shell thickness direction.
Both the CMA and NICE guidelines adopted systems that required judgement about the quality of the RCT and the strength of its findings rather than a system that graded recommendations solely upon research design.
