To obtain the optimum structure of the inner helical tube and the arrangement of DOTSGs in the reactor pressure vessel, a two-level optimization method is used, aiming at the lower pumping power needed, and a smaller reactor pressure vessel volume is used.
Clinical signs, laboratory tests and management interventions were used, aimed at diagnosing organ dysfunction or failure.
Purposive sampling was used, aimed at maximum obtainable variation with regard to patient characteristics, including gender, age and GOLD stage (I&II and III&IV).
Although BRSM has recommendations that must be used aiming at SPC implementation, there are recommendations that deal with measurement at initial maturity levels.
As for the motors and locomotive controller, the latest PMSM and its driving technologies are used aiming at improving the efficiency and power factor in comparison with induction and wound-rotor synchronous motors [23, 24, 25]. Figure 2 shows an overview of the test locomotive, and Table 2 shows the technical specifications of the locomotive.
Publically available data on REACH implementation (e.g. from the chemical agency ECHA) and experiences gained within the chemical industry and in working groups of Verband der Chemischen Industrie e.V. were used, aiming at giving an industry's view on the status of REACH implementation until 31 December 2012.
To test the SOPs, technical competency, and the equipment used for DST, 10 American Type Culture Collection strains of H37RV with known susceptibility results were used aiming at 100% reproducibility.
To increase physical activity in daily life, a pedometer (PAM; step counter) will be used aiming at 10.000 steps per day.
On the assumption that a direct proportionality exists between the degree of fibrosis and liver stiffness, both quasi-static and dynamic shear-wave elastographic techniques have been widely used, aimed at a quick, non-invasive and reliable quantification of fibrosis.
In the discovery of biomarkers a targeted approach is often used, aiming at a selection of predefined biomarkers based on current knowledge of the biological function of proteins or known associations.
