Deviations to the suggested model can work well as long as they are thoughtfully adapted to consider the purpose of the characteristics and the needs of the implementer.
Sampling, associated with survey research, is the act, process, or technique of selecting a suitable and representative subset of a population for the purpose of determining characteristics of the whole population.
In general, the perception and valuation of the distance between an origin and a destination differ according to transport modes, purpose of trips, characteristics of the household and of the destination [3]; in the present paper we focused on rail mode and on the population of destination.
With the purpose of identifying characteristics of the studies that may affect the prevalence rates estimated, a codebook was produced that included a series of potential moderator variables of the prevalence rates of LBP.
For descriptive purposes, frequencies of characteristics and common factors potentially affecting self-reported chemical sensitivity were obtained at the beginning of the analysis.
Thus, Llewellyn (1992) acknowledges that not all financial innovations are entirely new; rather, the newness of some financial innovations comes from the unbundling and reassembling (reengineering or re-purposing) of the characteristics and risks of existing instruments to form different combinations.
Here, we assessed the topological characteristics of bacterial co-conservation networks for the purpose of using such characteristics to improve protein function prediction.
A hydraulic scale model was used in a laboratory experiment for the purpose of understanding the characteristics of a pollutant dispersion in subsurface soil.
Ary (2014) characterizes content analysis as "a research method applied to written or visual materials for the purpose of identifying specified characteristics of the material [which] can be textbooks, newspapers, web pages, speeches, television programs, advertisements, musical compositions," (488).
The interest is not so much to derive single hydraulic unit relationships for specific geological zones, but to introduce a model for the purpose of classifying the characteristics of geologic depositional environments and associated pore structures.
