(1) Since group therapy and sensory stimulation over a relatively short period can result in clinical and testable improvement, the diagnosis of "chronic brain syndrome" in the elderly should not be allowed to preclude the provision of appropriate psychiatric therapy.
(2) The tenability of the formulation is readily testable by clinical research.
(3) Phenomenological equations are represented in the form of an equivalent electrical circuit that can be used to deduce testable relations among measurable quantities.
(4) Most importantly, our hypothesis leads to a series of experimentally testable predictions, which should provide considerably greater insight into the ontogeny of NK cells and their relationship to the T-cell lineage.
(5) As examples, experimentally testable mechanisms are suggested for cell surface changes in malignant transformation, and for cooperative effects exhibited in the interactions of membranes with some specific ligands.
(6) Testable inferences from this hypothesis are proposed, including the suggestion that clinically and neurophysiologically, schizophrenia and psychosomatic disorders are the obverse of one another.
(7) (Cancer Res., 50: 3445-3452, 1990) suggests two novel, yet testable, hypotheses: (a) the early pharmacokinetics of low molecular weight agents can have an important effect on later concentrations using two-step approaches; and (b) metabolism may play an important role in reducing concentrations in the tumor and tumor:plasma concentration ratios.
(8) The existence of consistent behavioral results despite uncontrollable and unpredictable influences, the simple requirements for a negative feedback system, and the identification of continuously varying purposes as representing the unfolding of behavioral events over time argue for the testable hypothesis that most behavior is produced by negative feedback control.
(9) Symmorphosis - the postulated matching of capacities to each other and to loads - is a testable hypothesis of economic design, useful in detecting and explaining cases of apparently uneconomic design.
(10) Of these, 14 were known asthmatics, 18 were not testable, and 37 were normal when retested.
(11) Statistical analysis of the data obtained from the study indicated that the Letter-Matching-Test was significantly better in terms of testability rates, group and individual instruction time, and performance time.
(12) The short term (20 parkinsonian patients on L-dopa for 22 months or less) and the long term (20 parkinsonian patients on L-dopa for 40 months or more) patients were chosen from the neurological clinic at St. Barnabas Hospital, Bronx, N.Y. Testability was assessed by the neurologis and by WAIS Vocabulary performance.
(13) This formulation presents directly testable hypotheses that could importantly impact on our understanding of the pathophysiology of affective disorders, and suggests novel therapeutic strategies through the enhancement of endogenous compensatory mechanisms.
(14) The model makes predictions which are testable in future experiments.
(15) The overall construction makes a large number of biochemical, anatomical, physiological, and psychological predictions which are either testable or in good agreement with fact.
(16) Virtually no multichannel wearer is equally testable in two, let alone more languages.
(17) The possibility of maternal effect is testable and has implications for treatment.
(18) The hypothesis, which is testable, is proposed because of doubts concerning the current concept of memory as applied to T cells, and a need to understand the consequences of the expression of MHC class II molecules by a subset of T cells.
(19) Acoustic reflex thresholds were clearly present in all testable infants at coupler sound pressure levels similar to adult data, suggesting that the relations between reflex thresholds and hearing sensitivity demonstrated in adult subjects are similarly applicable to infant subjects.
(20) The authors conclude that, despite the classic tenets, there is not testable modality specific to the DC.
Will
Definition:
(v.) The choice which is made; a determination or preference which results from the act or exercise of the power of choice; a volition.
(v.) The power of choosing; the faculty or endowment of the soul by which it is capable of choosing; the faculty or power of the mind by which we decide to do or not to do; the power or faculty of preferring or selecting one of two or more objects.
(v.) The choice or determination of one who has authority; a decree; a command; discretionary pleasure.
(v.) Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose.
(v.) That which is strongly wished or desired.
(v.) Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or determine.
(v.) The legal declaration of a person's mind as to the manner in which he would have his property or estate disposed of after his death; the written instrument, legally executed, by which a man makes disposition of his estate, to take effect after his death; testament; devise. See the Note under Testament, 1.
(adv.) To wish; to desire; to incline to have.
(adv.) As an auxiliary, will is used to denote futurity dependent on the verb. Thus, in first person, "I will" denotes willingness, consent, promise; and when "will" is emphasized, it denotes determination or fixed purpose; as, I will go if you wish; I will go at all hazards. In the second and third persons, the idea of distinct volition, wish, or purpose is evanescent, and simple certainty is appropriately expressed; as, "You will go," or "He will go," describes a future event as a fact only. To emphasize will denotes (according to the tone or context) certain futurity or fixed determination.
(v. i.) To be willing; to be inclined or disposed; to be pleased; to wish; to desire.
(n.) To form a distinct volition of; to determine by an act of choice; to ordain; to decree.
(n.) To enjoin or command, as that which is determined by an act of volition; to direct; to order.
(n.) To give or direct the disposal of by testament; to bequeath; to devise; as, to will one's estate to a child; also, to order or direct by testament; as, he willed that his nephew should have his watch.
(v. i.) To exercise an act of volition; to choose; to decide; to determine; to decree.
