Whereas conventionally flat-deposited aluminum is masked and subsequently etched to generate metal lines, copper technology requires the filling of narrow vias and trenches etched into the dielectric interlayer.
Therefore illusory objects are regarded as deceptive, and unreal by the standard of mundane knowledge, whereas, conventionally real things are regarded as nondeceptive and real by the standard of mundane knowledge.
For instance, Kitajima et al. observed that germ-free laboratory mice are very susceptible to DSS-induced colitis, whereas conventionally housed wild-type laboratory mice are more tolerant (Kitajima et al., 2002).
UV induced extent of degradation using the catalyst synthesized in the presence of ultrasound was found to be 82% whereas using conventionally synthesized catalyst, much lower extent of degradation as 40% was obtained.
In metropolitan Washington, DC, for example, the gas-guzzling Chevy Tahoe hybrid SUV (which gets 21 combined city and highway mpg, according to Consumer Reports) automatically has access to high-occupancy vehicle lanes whereas the conventionally powered Honda Civic (at 33 combined mpg) and Smart ForTwo coupe (at 36 combined mpg) do not.
Indeed, among intensively treated patients, the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy was 3.2 times higher in those with immeasurable fasting plasma C-peptide than in those with higher residual pancreatic secretion, whereas data from conventionally treated patients did not reach statistical significance (4).
To put the matter straightforwardly, for the Sarvāstivādins, wholes and continua are only conventionally real, whereas the atoms and point-instant consciousness are only ultimately real.
Rats (DA, LEW.1N, LOU/c, Wistar) and immunocompetent mice (129Sv, C3H/HeN, C57BL/6) were conventionally housed whereas severe combined immunodeficient SCID/beige (C.B-17/IcrHsd-scid-bg) and SCID (C.B-17/Ztm-scid) mice were kept under pathogen-free conditions.
Whereas ROC curves are conventionally used for binary outcomes to identify points of optimal sensitivity and specificity, this approach was adapted for survival analyses (Heagerty and Zheng, 2005; Lu and Liu, 2006).
According to phylogenetic classification, the most prevalent group in strains from free-range poultry was the group A (54.3%), whereas the strains from conventionally raised poultry most frequently belonged to group B1 (37.2%), although no statistically significant differences were observed between them and groups B1, B2, and D (Table 1).
Neurological abnormalities have traditionally been divided into "hard signs" and "soft signs" [ 4]. "Hard signs" usually indicate focal neurological deficits localized within specific brain regions, whereas "soft signs" are conventionally defined as subtle signs without an identifiable or localized brain region [ 4].
