Sentence examples for prescriptive targets from inspiring English sources

The prescriptive targets for presbycusis were generated using the NAL-R formula.

In the present study, the tolerances for matching the prescriptive targets were set to ±5 dB at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz and ±8 dB at 3 kHz and 4 kHz [ 24].

In summary, some of the OTC hearing aids could match the prescriptive targets of presbycusis, but, on the other hand, their poor VC performance and inappropriate frequency response made them unsuitable for elderly people with typical presbycusis audiometric configuration.

Four of the hearing aid test conditions could match the prescriptive targets at four or more frequencies, and they were judged to meet the amplification needs of elderly people with presbycusis.

Although several of the devices could match prescriptive targets for individuals with presbycusis, their poor electroacoustic performance including ineffective volume control function, high equivalent input noise, and irregular frequency response may override their potential benefit.

Generally, BW styles could match the prescriptive targets at the high frequencies, but they provided too much low-frequency gain at the same time; thus they usually failed to match the targets at low frequencies; in contrast, BTE and ITE styles could match the fitting targets at low frequencies, but they usually failed to provide sufficient amplification in the high frequencies.

Moreover, OTC B failed to meet the prescriptive target at 500 Hz due to overamplification at that frequency.

If the OTC hearing aid matched the prescriptive target for four frequencies or more, that hearing aid was judged to satisfactorily meet the amplification needs of elderly people with a typical hearing loss associated with presbycusis [ 1].

No more national curriculum, with its mumbo-jumbo instructions, learning outcomes and prior attainments; no more targets, prescriptive exams, huge burden of time-wasting and arse-covering record-keeping; no more flinty-faced, telltale, confidence-wrecking Ofsted inspectors, lurking in class with their clipboards.

First, top-down targets and detailed prescriptive guidance on how to run such schemes should be avoided.

Our proposed methodology for testing of non-target organisms is prescriptive with regard to the use of a procedure for selection of testing species and the development of proper testing protocols and risk hypotheses tailored to each case and receiving environment.
