Systematic replacement of traditional methods with other methods.
However, progressives were pushing for the replacement of such methods by less ruinous remedies.
The BWS object case originally was conceived as a replacement of traditional methods of preference measurement such as ratings and Likert scales [29].
But this elevation of the public side of once-private, or at least partly private, people also entailed the replacement of outdated methods of localized public humiliation (e.g., the stocks and pillory of yore) with the stage-managed national apology.
"At the same time, we need to be conscious of issues in digital archiving (particularly the problem of obsolete file formatting) and be sure to use technology as a complement to, and not a replacement for methods of documentation that have proven tried and true for over a century".
A second pattern is the systematic replacement of traditional method dominance by the IUD and condom.
Countries show disparate paths in method gains and losses toward a balanced mix, but 4 patterns are suggested: (1) rise of one method partially offset by changes in other methods, (2) replacement of traditional with modern methods, (3) continued but declining domination by a single method, and (4) declines in dominant methods with increases in other methods toward a balanced mix.
Our proposed HMM method of plant miRNA target prediction allows for more than four mismatches in the target sequences, however, we proposed this method here as an alternative instead of a replacement of the published method, since the HMM method may increase the number of false positive predictions due to the allowance of more than 4 mismatches.
The replacement of harsh synthesis methods with environmentally friendly, clean, and non-toxic green synthetic methods are very much needed for the synthesis of AuNPs (Punuri et al. 2012; Sadeghi 2015).
Applying a standard measure of the method mix evenness suggests 4 patterns among 15 countries moving toward a more balanced mix: (1) rise of one previously underrepresented or new method, (2) replacement of traditional with modern methods, (3) continued but declining domination by a single method, and (4) general movement toward a balanced mix.
