(4) It must also be emphasized that abnormal growth is not always found after lesions even in situations which a priori appear appropriate.
(5) The latter approach does not assume an a priori mechanism of action but derives information from the establishment of relationships between structural features and carcinogenicity.
(6) The in vitro sensitivity of 132 gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains to Netilmycin and Ceftizoxime was assessed in order to update the statistics on the a priori efficacy of the antibacterial drugs.
(7) The four parameter logistic method, which is based on an approximation of the mass action law, performed better than the Spline method, a procedure which makes no a priori assumptions about the data.

(18) A priori and empiric a posteriori estimates of the probability that interesting subcultures are monotypic or monoclonal are derived consistent with this principle.
