Two methods are favored by experts: an electronic prescribing system known as computerized physician order entry, and a system in which a bar code assigned to a patient is swiped against the bar code of the drug he is about to receive.
In this context alternative methods are favored.
Use of conventional biochemical and phenotypic tests for the identification of NTM is currently discouraged; more rapid and specific methods are favored, including high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of mycolic acids and commercial molecular assays.
This research suggests why teaching by the case method is favored at many institutions, including Harvard Business School.
There are several methods developed for recovery of rare elements from CFA, the chlorination method is favored due to selectivity and high reactivity.
Accordingly, a visually adapted semi-automatic method is favored, enabling rapid and quantitative delineation of lung functional volumes with 68Ga-V/Q PET/CT.
Taguchi method is favored over "single process factor at a time" experiments as it gives wide information about the interaction between the process parameters, and the optimized condition can be achieved with a limited number of experiments (Phadke 1995).
Therefore, a visually adapted, semi-automatic method is favored for quantitative delineation of functional lung volumes with 68Ga-V/Q PET/CT in order to facilitate both accuracy and ease of analysis.
This logical method is favored by Mulder throughout most of the show.
