The strength predictions can potentially guide preliminary mix proportioning of metakaolin-based geopolymers to achieve required strength grade without going through tedious (trial and error) mix formulation.
Recently, researchers have proposed a formulation based on linear programming, where the preliminary constituent proportions (between RAP, virgin binder and aggregates) are suggested based on known properties of the RAP and virgin binder and target properties of the recycled mix.
Finally, although we consider the data on transferability of ruzigrass microsatellite markers to other brachiaria species rather preliminary, the higher proportion of successful PCR amplifications on B. brizantha and B. decumbens cultivars indicates a closer phylogenetic distance between these species and B. ruziziensis, when compared with B. humidicola.
Based on preliminary analyses, the proportion of markers that did not contribute to variation in degree of black (designated as π) was known to be large, and therefore only a small subset of the markers (1 – π) was needed for inclusion in the model for Bayesian analysis.
This preliminary study indicates the proportion of patients with lateral epicondylalgia that demonstrate a favourable initial response to a manual therapy technique – the mobilization with movement (MWM) for tennis elbow.
The objectives were to determine effects of graded levels of selenized yeast derived from a specific strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CNCM I-3060) on animal performance and in selenium concentrations in the blood, milk, feces, and urine of dairy cows compared with sodium selenite; and to provide preliminary data on the proportion of selenium as selenomethionine in the milk and blood.
The FDR estimation procedure starts from some preliminary assessment of the proportion of true nulls, π0.
Reweighting our sample to reflect the demographics of the British (i.e. English, Scottish and Welsh) population, we provide preliminary estimates on the proportion of the public who do, and do not, favour disclosure together with what information they do, and do not, want to know.
These preliminary results showed a significant proportion of elite athlete respondents suffer performance limiting headaches.
We sequentially added other variables to this preliminary model according to the proportion of bootstrap samples in which we selected these variables as significant predictors.
