For example, by careful selection of the constituent metals, alloys can be obtained that either grow on solidification, remain dimensionally stable, or shrink to predetermined degrees.
Forecasting how well research will "advance the national health, prosperity, or welfare," or predetermining the degree to which a project is or is not "groundbreaking," demands an unlikely prescience.
In designing radioactive waste repositories, it is necessary to predetermine the degree of concrete performance change due to leaching degradation.
The severity of acute bowel toxicity may predetermine the degree of chronic bowel changes (Donaldson et al, 1975).
The number of endocycles in cells is genetically predetermined and the degree of endopolyploidy is subject to the systematic position of the given species (Barow and Meister 2003; Bainard et al. 2012).
The critical issue with numerical simulations and semi-empirical correlations is that the majority of researchers predetermined, to some degree, the physical mechanisms underlying behind the anomalous heat transfer characteristics in nanofluids.
Therefore, our result indicates that reprogramming-resistant regions in SCNT embryos tend to be predetermined to a degree by the type of donor cells.
The predetermined significance level was α=0.05.
These beneficial attributes are reinforced by Dunn (2000, p. 200), who suggests that semistructured interviews have "some degree of predetermined order but still ensures flexibility in the way issues are addressed by the informant".
The degree of functionalization is predetermined by the statistical copolymerization of the monomers and is confirmed by NMR, GPC, and a modified trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBSA) assay.
