We aimed to assess the scope and consistency of outcomes reported in trials for hemodialysis.
This study aimed to assess the scope and consistency of vascular access outcomes reported in contemporary hemodialysis trials.
A related strategy is to point to a lack of fixed, predetermined ends that all humans (or even any particular human over the course of her life) aim for in situations of choice, or values to maximize when deciding what to believe (such as simplicity, scope, and consistency in the case of theory choice) (Child 1992).
There is a substantial number of programs that didn't quite have the heft, scope or consistency to make it into my Top 10 this year, but that's no slam: I enjoyed all of those next-tier shows, which run the gamut from "Archer" to "Luck".
The broad taxonomic scope and consistency of the supertree mean that is of potentially great value to future comparative studies (accepting the caveats discussed above) of the behaviour, life-history, ecology and conservation of this diverse group.
Kuhn's (1977) list of the values of science includes accuracy, consistency, scope, simplicity, and fruitfulness.
(Anderson cites Kuhn's 1977 list: empirical adequacy, consistency, scope, external consonance with established theories) (Anderson 3004, 3).
Though Italy is considered a late developer in this movement, its scope, speed and consistency of reforms is considered remarkable [OECD, (2001), Reviews of Regulatory Reform in Italy].
Kuhn challenged the traditional view of scientific method as a set of rules, claiming that the standards of theory appraisal, such as simplicity, accuracy, consistency, scope and fruitfulness (1977, 322), depend on and vary with the currently dominant paradigm.
Seale explains how data triangulation can be used to increase the scope, depth, and consistency of qualitative research findings, and not only as a form of data validation (16).
