numerical target

obvious target

potential target
The two models then capture how the potential target interprets this uncertainty and increased choice set.
precise target
This may reflect our difficulty in locating the precise target of each penetration.
primary target

specific target
Each picture or scene was designed to elicit a specific target predicate.
specified target
Some authors6'10"12 have also explored the additional use of off axis measurements as a means of assessing dosimetric accuracy across a specified target.

stringent target
Failure to keep abreast could lead to errors of judgement, and the loss of both empathy with the multiple clients and of ability to meet her own stringent targets.
target date
Price stability had already been achieved in 1994, ahead of the 1995 target date, and was not threatened in subsequent years.
target domain
There were six different stories, two for each target domain.
target gene
It was hypothesized that the short distances spanned by linkage disequilibrium enable markers that are very tightly linked to a target gene to be identified.
target molecule
As aqueous levels are reduced by microbial action, the cells 'squeeze' additional substrate from the organic sponge, until the target molecule has been completely degraded.
target of criticism
It is no wonder, then, that managed care is more often the target of criticism than positive assessment.
target organ
Tests of autonomic reflexes require that the functional state of the target organ is assessed initially, and as far as possible independently of its innervation.
target pest
Clearly, knowledge of the origin of a target pest is often exceedingly useful in identifying promising collection sites for natural enemies with which it has co-evolved.
target population
This alleged information, however, seems to be largely unobtainable by those who need it, namely, the target population.
target species
Their target species include anchovies sardinellas, mackerels, scads, and some tuna-like fish, landed fresh.
target zone
