Such tests enable administrators to directly measure results, without using more subjective criteria that often involve a preference for a particular teaching methodology, or, worse, the subjective impressions of administrators who may have an issue with a particular teacher.
Then envy may be interpreted so as to involve a preference for the situation in which neither subject nor rival have the good to the one in which rival has it and subject does not.[12] Call this the "envious preference".
In species, which exhibit behaviour where a forelimb is involved, a preference for one side might evolve first by chance and then reinforced [ 37, 38] without this being induced by large anatomical asymmetry as seen for e.g. the fiddler crab (Uca sp).
Impulsive choice in the context of delay discounting involves an increased preference for immediate rewards over more long-term advantageous, but delayed, outcomes (Ainslie 1975).
Sex inequality among children is another area of concern, especially among states in North India, involving a strong preference for sons, widespread female feticide, and declining sex ratio at birth (11).
Another example, based on more recent work, involves a shift in host preference in Cx. pipiens form pipiens. Several studies 12– 15 have suggested gene flow to form pipiens from form molestus is a contributing factor to comparatively high rates of feeding on humans in populations of Cx. pipiens in the midwestern and eastern United States.
In 1974, the Court had accepted for decision a similar case involving a race-preference policy at the University of Washington Law School.
Conformism can involve the adoption of new behaviors, but it can also involve an acquired preference of the use of behaviors that are already in an individual's behavioral repertoire and/or the suppression of some other behavior formerly used in a particular context.
One advance in probing the structure and substrate preferences of AlkB involves a disulfide cross-linking approach to stabilize the labile protein DNA complex.
In one strain, a linA variant was identified that likely caused a novel degradation phenotype involving a shift in isomer preference.
