In order for a prediction to be deemed to be "sound, "it must meet the test set out in Apotex, namely that there must be : a factual basis for the prediction; an articulable and "sound" line of reasoning from which the desired result can be inferred from the factual basis; and proper disclosure. 1, record 1, English, - sound%20prediction

It can now be appreciated that the evaluation of the breadmaking quality of a flour is extremely complicated. To avoid the long and difficult procedure of using baking tests, cereal technologists, in their attempts to predict breadmaking quality, have developed various simple and quick tests on wheat, flour and dough.... Although these so-called "prediction" tests all provide useful information, they cannot replace the baking test. 1, record 2, English, - baking%20test

On peut d'ores et déjà se rendre compte que l'évaluation de la valeur boulangère d'une farine est une tâche compliquée. Pour éviter le processus long et ardu des essais de panification, les techniciens céréaliers ont mis au point divers tests simples et rapides du blé, de la farine et de la pâte, afin de prévoir la valeur boulangère. [...] Bien que ces prétendus tests «de prévision» fournissent tous de précieux renseignements, ils ne sauraient remplacer l'essai de panification. 1, record 2, French, - essai%20de%20panification

Creep behavior. ASTM method D 2990 gives a test procedure for fabric creep behavior. However, the situation is very much in the research stage. Finnigan has tested polyesters and polyamides, finding that both deform linearly with respect to log time and can be used in the prediction of creep levels. These tests varied from 1 minute to 1, 000 hours. 1, record 3, English, - creep%20behavior
