This decision may be based on field experience, on the evaluation of a particular material for a given environment, or on modeling.
While there is a growing number of thin film materials that can be used for MEMS devices, the selection of a particular material is rarely based on quantifiable criterion that relates directly to the optimum performance of the device.
"A chance to review something they have done before" can help remind students "that they should have a grasp on that particular material".
The assignments were to be performed either individually, in pairs, or in groups, depending on the particular material.
With a travel mouse that is actually an issue — who knows whether those other mice will track on a particular varnish or material?
Nevertheless, as a starting point for the physics of cancer we expect that required cell functions for tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis, depend on particular material properties of tumor cells to perform specific physical processes.
Heteroepitaxial growth of quantum dots yields a sparse packing density and achieves only partial ordering with a broad distribution of dot sizes on some particular materials [9].
The intellect deals with universals, as mentioned in On First Philosophy, whereas particular, material objects are treated by the senses (and, presumably, the imagination and memory).
These disparate findings suggest that the sensitivity of serology tests can be variable, and may depend on the particular materials or methods that are used.
