The FD is used to characterize the chaotic nature of the tracer's distribution in primary tumors and metastases, based on the box counting procedure of chaos theory, for the analysis of dynamic PET data.
The weakest areas amongst the studies synthesized were details of sampling procedures, use of theory, conceptual frameworks, contribution to theory and overall rigour.
Another approach starts with the canonical quantization procedures of quantum theory.
The synthesis of the findings will be based on the principles and procedures of grounded theory: coding, identification and relationship between categories, and synthesis using constant comparison as a strategy.
Analysis of the evidence will be based on the principles and procedures of grounded theory [ 27]: coding, identification and relationship between categories, and synthesis using constant comparison as a strategy.
The research procedure of the grounded theory was provided in Figure 2. In line with the grounded theory, we gathered the data through interviews, and the data were analyzed and coded simultaneously until the theoretical saturation.
It is based on the application of the Lifshitz Slyozov Wagner procedure of Ostwald ripening theory to a self-similar particle volume evolution equation which is approximated by a quadratic polynomial of the scaled particle size.
According to the procedure of the grounded theory, reviewing research memos in which the viewpoint, concept, and categories developed in the process of research are recoded and literature comparison is the key of theoretical coding [ 26].
Based on the comparisons, a more accurate procedure of applying the conventional theory was presented.
Our methods used are the procedure of descending dimension and theory of majorization; and apply techniques of mathematical analysis and permanents in algebra.
