Thus, the dimly stained CD4 T cells from patients with RA in our ' in vitro' assay seem to be reflecting a low density of CD154 on the surface, and the percentages of positive cells obtained probably do not reflect the true CD154-positive fraction of cells but still provide a rough measure of CD154 quantity in the CD4 T cell population.
Back-of-the-envelope or rule-of-thumb calculations involving rough estimates of quantities play a central scientific role in developing intuition about the structure and behavior of physical systems, for example in so-called Fermi problems in the physical sciences.
In the previous subsection we arrived at a rough estimate for that quantity.
Apart from some kinds of baking, most recipes work perfectly well with rough approximations of the quantities.
In an attempt to maintain prices, De Beers's Central Selling Organisation, the London-based body which organises the world's diamond cartel, has held back unusually large quantities of rough, or uncut, diamonds.
The internal architecture of normal primary hepatocytes included large quantities of rough endoplasmic reticulum (often in close proximity to the nucleus), mitochondria, aggregates and scattered glycogen, a few lipid droplets and spherical nuclei with distinct nucleoli.
For a country that spent much of the 20th century making vast quantities of rough industrial plonk at the behest of Soviet central planners, it's quite a turnaround – as well as being quite a journey for the evergreen clay pot.

In order to obtain rough estimates of these quantities, we borrowed heavily from the paper by Nichol [ 16] that dealt with vaccination against influenza.
I perceive something much richer, an image that combines all these rough signals with an enormous quantity of past experiences.
