Its usefulness arises from the insolubility of calcium and magnesium borates and the alkaline or basic nature of aqueous solutions of borax.
Its usefulness arises from its insolubility in iron, nickel, and related alloys at high temperatures, whereas diamond is soluble in these metals to give carbides.
Cognitive interviewing is one of many methods used in testing questionnaires (e.g. Presser et al., 2004; Campanelli, 2008), and its usefulness arises from its ability to shed light on the cognitive processes during survey response.
The potential of philosophical-ethical theory for concrete questions in medical ethics has been doubted for various reasons, such as a perceived lack of practical usefulness or problems arising from morally pluralistic societies [ 18, 19].
This paper applies the decision tree to real-world examples of exposures to multiple chemicals, evaluates the usefulness of the approach, and identifies issues arising from the application.
The sensitivity of AChE activity to other classes of chemicals, including emerging pollutants such as nanomaterials, suggests the usefulness of this biomarker for providing an integrative measurement of the overall neurotoxic risk arising from the whole burden of bioavailable contaminants in areas contaminated by several classes of pollutants.
Their usefulness notwithstanding, co-expression networks are prone to a high rate of false positive correlations arising from indirect relationships between genes, requiring that we establish rigorous thresholds and a layered (sequential) method (summary in Figure 1 and additional details in Additional file 1: sections A, C and D) [ 22].
Maximizing the usefulness and therapeutic relevance of these tools, however, requires precisely controlling their activity and specificity to minimize potentially toxic side effects arising from off-target activities.
Death arising from a hurricane: tragedy.
The usefulness of the proposed estimation and hypothesis testing procedures is illustrated by means of a small simulation study and a real-life dataset arising from physiology.
