based on and taking into account,...
Hi, I think there is something wrong with this sentence (namely, based on and taking into account do not go well together):
Based on the measured yields formed after the evaporation and taking into account the beam intensity and the target thickness, we calculated the cross sections and determined their dependence on the energy.
What do you think?
Thanks.

I agree with MrM. Indeed, in your sentence, the two phrases appear to be used felicitously.

Thank you!
What about "as evidence...being"?
The agreement between the cross sections for the X reaction and the data calculated for the Y process can be considered as evidence of the fusion process nuclei being the main process, which influences the fusion probability and leads to an increase in the reaction cross section.

Another short question is on usage of "understanding".
When one has "understanding" at the beginning of a sentence, is the following correct:
An understanding of these mechanisms is vital.
Understanding these mechanisms is vital.
Are both correct, and an article basically should be followed by a preposition "of"?

'Being' is seldom the best choice.
The agreement between the cross-sections for the X reaction and the data calculated for the Y process can be considered as evidence that the fusion process nuclei is the main process which influences fusion probability and leads to an increase in the reaction cross-section.

You insist on hyphenation in "cross section"? I've seen the phrase written both with and without the hyphen.

Would you also write "Q value" with a hyphen?
The thing is that these phrases are written both with and without the hyphen, and I haven't found the grammar rule that would help me take one view or the other. I am unsure, actually.
Do you keep any particular grammar rule

snuppelinaWould you also write "Q value" with a hyphen?I have no opinion; I do not know its standard usage.
