Using available resources, each group will then be researching the answers to a set of guiding questions (photocopied on a separate handout for easier student access): -What is the primary utility of this animal to humans (food, labor, transportation, research, commodity, etc).? How is the animal utilized?
The primary utility of 90Y PET/CT is that it allows for proactive planning of alternative or adjuvant therapies immediately following radioembolization [14].
Although functional information about wall motion can be obtained during cCTA, the primary utility of cCTA is for imaging of the coronary arteries to define the presence of CAD (Figs. 2, 3, 4).
While the primary utility of the resource we have developed is the supplementation of commercial SNP microarrays, it has several other useful applications.
The primary utility of DNA barcoding is to identify unknown specimens at the species-level by comparing the query sequence to a DNA barcode reference library built based on known species [7].
The primary utility of using hybrid ETUVPD activation is the ability to modulate the fragmentation distribution more evenly among identifiable ion types.
The primary utility of levodopa in patients with PD is moderated by the "wearing off" phenomena seen with long-term use.
Therefore, the results of these studies should not be used directly to inform decision-making on food safety education program development or implementation; instead, the primary utility of these studies lies in their ability to show 'proof of concept' for an intervention effect to inform more robust experimental designs [ 26, 49, 50].
The primary utility of biomarkers in this setting is to distinguish: i) patients with mild disease who do not need treatment, ii) patients with active disease who do need treatment, and iii) patients who have developed irreversible organ injury and who will not benefit from immunomodulatory treatment.
The primary utility measure of the study is quality adjusted life years (QALYs), and will be calculated from the SF-12 scores (scale 0-100; lower score indicates poorer quality of life) [ 32].
