Design equations in modern standards provide a gross approximation of the load bearing resistance of such columns in which the eccentricity is ignored and in order to compensate for this the yield stress and modulus of elasticity are to be determined at maximum temperature.
It can be used to provide a gross approximation of the prestige of journals in which individuals have been published, but is best done in conjunction with other considerations such as peer review, productivity, and subject specialty citation.
While this is a gross approximation of transmission, clearly transmission remains a substantial cause of incident MDR-TB cases in this setting.
In this context, it should be stated that even in the best, most robustly parameterised microsimulations, gross approximations are made in describing the fabulously complex web of human behaviour, and even they are only attempts to characterise the statistical properties of the system as a whole.
It felt possible to outline — if only a crude, gross approximation — the consciousness of a waking animal.
However, incomplete knowledge of PQ's active metabolites and their pharmacokinetic profiles means that our model of PQ's killing action is only a gross approximation, and further refinement will be necessary as we learn more about PQ.
The elucidation of genetics for athletic ability and for medical conditions that endanger athletes would seem to provide grounds for expansive testing, both in assessing skill (something that is done, but by gross approximation based on performance) and also in protecting athletes from heretofore unperceived harm from disease.
This is clearly likely to be a fairly gross approximation, but it is necessary to enable the model to be parameterized; its justification will thus be in the empirical validity and usefulness of the model.
Some approximations, of course, are more approximate than others.
