(11) Female undergraduates (N = 50 and N = 46 in the two studies) were given cards containing the names of randomly-selected generic foods (e.g., cakes, melons) and were asked to "group the foods according to how you think about them when it comes to eating them".
(12) But the move to inflate the price of Daraprim, which is the brand name for the generic drug pyrimethamine and was originally developed in the 1940s by corporate elements of the pharmaceutical giant now known as GlaxoSmithKline, has set off ripples of concern across the medical community.

(15) Omasal contents were collected from slaughtered cattle (n = 54), bison (n = 15), and sheep (n = 40) to determine numbers and generic distribution of ciliated protozoa.
(16) But the biggest problem is that Lipitor will face generic competition in the US in December 2011, and it is unlikely any of Pfizer's recent deals can make up for the billions in Lipitor sales that will quickly disappear.
(17) Polling suggests that people prefer the Conservatives on immigration because they expect them to be "tougher" in some vague, generic sense, rather than because they believe in their policies.
(18) The issue of generic equivalence of topical steroids is discussed, with particular emphasis on the vagaries of the vasoconstriction assay.
(19) Two generic types of collaboration were identified.
(20) This result implies a widespread generic occurrence of the periodic organization of chromatin seen in mammalian systems.
(2) Psychiatry is criticized for imprecise diagnosis, conceptual vagaries, jargon, therapeutic impotence and class bias.
(3) In percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) the relationships between transstenotic pressure gradient, diameter stenosis, and lesion length are imprecisely known.
(4) The potency of this product is determined by in-vivo bioassay in hypophysectomized rats, which is imprecise, costly and invasive, and there have been suggestions that it could safely be replaced with in-vitro or physico-chemical alternatives.
(5) Total assay imprecision (CV) varied between 11% and 21%.
(6) Two reading passages, one with nasal consonants and one without, were tape-recorded for 72 subjects: 34 selected as having precise articulation and 38 selected as having imprecise articulation.
(7) However, because of imprecise definitions of terms, these studies show noncomparable results.
(8) The present study challenges the previous reports, suggesting that these findings emerged because of imprecise methodologic procedures.
(9) We investigated the possibility that the spatial imprecision of amblyopic eyes can be accounted for by the relative insensitivity to contrast that has been documented for these eyes.
(10) This expert system, by using the fuzzy and certainty factor concepts, is able to handle imprecise and incomplete medical knowledge which has become informative.
(11) In this report, computer simulation is used to evaluate and compare quality-control rules designed to detect increases in within-run or between-run imprecision.
(12) The total imprecision (1 standard deviation) of a single measurement is about 15% of the value for each analyte.
(13) John Rawles's criticism of QALYs are seen as being both imprecise and largely unhelpful.
(14) The within-run imprecision of all electrodes was excellent.
(15) Imprecise definitions of these complications of necrotizing pancreatitis make inter-institutional comparisons of previously identified data dubious.
(16) It is concluded that tests for detection of SGA babies remain imprecise in practice, gestational weight alone correlates poorly with fetal well-being, and the need remains for sensitive tests to detect babies with genuine morbidity.
(17) Numerous clinicians criticise the insufficiency and imprecision, and the incoherency of the analyses of biological calculations by the usual clinical methods and thus frequently avoid prescribing such an examination.
(18) We conclude that inconsistent findings on the effect of menopausal status in the association of breast cancer with some reproductive factors are partly due to statistical imprecision and differential misclassification bias associated with different age-based or menses-based definitions of menopause.
(19) Using referral as a criterion, the question related to potential demand displayed a sensitivity of only 53%, probably because of the imprecise wording, while the specificity appeared to be 82%.
(20) Even admitting some imprecision for this estimate, the remarkable differences at the structural gene level shown by the species analyzed, suggest they had an early origin.
