USING + [APPARATUS 90%] / [PROCEDURE 10%]
APPARATUS:
Apparatuses include devices, machinery, tools, instruments and other materials and equipment needed to successfully carry out the research.
|
The electrical properties of the capacitors were measured using a Hewlett-Packarad impedance analyzer in the range of (100 Hz–4 MHz).
The layout was designed using the Symbad CAD tool.
|
PROCEDURE:
Procedures include methods, processes, techniques and other approaches used to reach the research goal.
|
Thin-film Ta2N resistors have been developed and deposited on polyimide flex using a horizontal batch process [1].
Intracellular RF DNA was isolated from several TCR transformants using the boiling method of Jones and Hu (2002).
|
BY + [ACTION 81%] / [PROCEDURE 19%]
ACTION:
The preposition "by" is the second most common word used to introduce
the means or way that something is performed.
When used to express actions, "by" most often occurs in the gerund (-ing) form of a verb, though other nominalized (noun) forms can also occur (see also noun phrase).
|
High dielectric constant composites may be obtained by increasing the ceramic content in the polymer matrix..
The silylated powders were washed in ethyl alcohol by repeated centrifugation and then dried under vacuum.
|
PROCEDURE:
The preposition "by" can also be used to introduce the methods, processes, techniques and other procedures used to reach the research goal.
|
The samples were measured by the guarded heat flow meter method.
The patterns of Cu traces were formed by photolithography of etch resist and chemically etched in a spray etcher.
|
WITH + [APPARATUS]
Apparatuses include devices, machinery, tools, instruments and other materials and equipment needed to successfully carry out the research.
|
Thermal conductivity was measured with the TCA-200 thermal conductance tester from Holometrix Micromet (Metrisa Company).
|
ON + [APPARATUS]
Apparatuses include devices, machinery, tools, instruments and other materials and equipment needed to successfully carry out the research.
|
The motion model was implemented on a laptop computer.
|
BY USING + [APPARATUS]
Similar to the preposition "with", "by using" can also be used to introduce tools used to implement a procedure, including devices, machinery, tools, instruments and other equipment.
|
The Mars descent module will deliver the rover to a specific location by using an inflatable braking device or parachute system.
|
THROUGH + [ACTION]
Unlike the preposition "by", "though" cannot be used with gerund (-ing) forms
but rather with noun phrases describing a procedure.
|
This is possible by introducing a local 3-D model. (gerund)
This is possible through the introduction of a local 3-D model. (noun phrases)
|
VIA + [PROCEDURE]
"Via" differs from the prepositions "by" and "though" in that it cannot be used with actions but is used instead to introduce "procedures".
|
Carbon fiber materials produced via catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbon vapors have also recently been reported to exhibit exceptionally high hydrogen adsorption capacity (Baker 1998).
|
BY MEANS OF + [PROCEDURE]
"By means of" is more formal than "though" or "via".
|
Quantization of this problem is accomplished by means of the standard finite element procedure.
|
through the use of + [APPARATUS]
by the use of + [APPARATUS]
with the aid/help of + [APPARATUS]
with the use of + [APPARATUS]
Although very rarely used, these expressions can also introduce the tools or apparatuses used to carry out research goals.
|
Better size control of semiconductor nanoparticles can be achieved through the use of particle-capping techniques (Smith 2003).
Significant savings can be achieved by the use of open-source software.
A far higher resolution can be achieved with the aid of electron microscopy.
The reading back of data can be achieved with the use of very inexpensive lasers, such as a low-power cw laser.
