Because of the growing number of persons who use a cell phone in preference to a land line, a dual sampling frame was developed that comprised 70% landline numbers and 30% cell phone numbers.
Lines selected for both panels were based on seed or DNA availability, with preference given to lines with malting quality data.
Lu et al. [ 4] recommended 449 out of 1034 SNPs that were found to be the best for the detection of genetic diversity in temperate, subtropical and tropical maize germplasm with least preferences to temperate lines.
Primary cultures of fibroblasts isolated directly from breast cancer tissues (and with patient-matched control cells) were used in preference to established fibroblast cell lines for greater clinical relevance.
Whether platinum chemotherapy should be used as the first line in preference to other chemotherapy agents is unclear, and this is the subject of the BRCA trial (NCT00321633, NCT00532727) that randomizes first-line patients between carboplatin and docetaxel.
The Huma 123, typical of human benign tumour cells, is oestrogen receptor negative and was compared with the less-malignant oestrogen receptor positive MCF-7 cell line, in preference to a more-malignant oestrogen receptor negative one such as MDA-MB-231, which lacks epithelial markers characteristic of breast carcinoma cells (Engel and Young, 1978).
This high throughput motivates the development of on-site, real time processing and reduction in preference to archiving, transport and off-line processing.
The outcome eventually hinged on a bold sequence of line-outs taken in preference to goal kicks.
Finally, the grey line from preferences to ordinal probabilities indicates that every probability function satisfying Savage's axioms is represented by a unique cardinal probability but this result does not hold for Jeffrey's axioms.
An alternative is to limit the number of compulsory preferences below the line to the number of vacancies being filled.
