Reichenbach's "definitions" are not purely verbal, they are "coordinative definitions" that specify physical procedures for determining the values of quantities.
Each piece is the result of some sort of physical procedure, often involving lead.
In our research, RA patients demonstrated a significant decrease of IL-6 and TNF- α after a comprehensive treatment, regardless of the type of applied physical procedure.
The results showed positive effects of a 2-week rehabilitation program for patients with RA regardless of the kind of the applied physical procedure.
Acrylamide (AAm) as a grafting agent and microwave-assisted grafting as a physical procedure were employed to grafting of the chitosan thin layer without using any chemical initiator.
The XPS measurements showed that the physical procedure used for the generation of the Ag:HAp-PDMS composite layer allows the formation of SiO44− ions.
The sulfonic functional groups were introduced on the surfaces of MWNTs either by a covalent pathway, using a mild and environmental friendly diazonium reaction or by a physical procedure via pyrene sulfonic acid capable of binding MWNTs via π- π interactions.
The centre of gravity of any body can also be determined by a simple physical procedure.
It is therefore proposed to include manual joint examination into the routine physical examination procedure of migraine patients and to use both components (palpation and sustained pressure) of the tests in combination to reach a high specificity and sensitivity.
Funds made available through disinvestment could also be used for supporting further research on the effectiveness and cost/effectiveness of physical procedures, which is sparse and of low scientific validity (Table 2).
