The phrase "a discrete component" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are referring to an individual, separate part of a larger system or structure, often in technical or scientific discussions.
Example: "In the assembly of the device, each part must be carefully tested to ensure that a discrete component functions properly within the overall system."
Alternatives: "an individual element" or "a separate part".
Power modules are typically used at higher power levels, where a discrete component implementation would require paralleling of several power semiconductor devices.
In this communication we have presented a probit/log-skew-normal mixture model for continuous repeated measures data with a discrete component at zero.
Recently some additional work has been reported in literature extending mixture models for a continuous outcome with a discrete component to clustered data.
Is angiogenesis simply an inevitable consequence of any nodules of aberrant proliferating cells becoming size-limited by lack of vascularization or is it a discrete component of the tumour phenotype?
This point brings us to the second question raised by Hanahan and Folkman (1996): is the angiogenic switch just a step necessary for the neoplastic growth or is it a discrete component in the tumour phenotype?
It is based on a simple reparameterization of the model in terms of the total variance and the proportion of the additive genetic variance with respect to it, as well as on the explicit inclusion on the prior probability of a discrete component at origin.
Due to the large signal, problems with parasitic capacitances are avoided and hence it is possible to integrate the sensor with a discrete components electronics circuit for signal conditioning.
Post-layout simulations on the designed integrated solution (in a standard CMOS technology) and experimental results, using a discrete-component prototype, both on passive components and on real sensors (MoW-based metal oxide sensors) have shown high linearity and reduced percentage error with respect to the theoretical expectations.
Preliminary experimental measurements, conducted through a fabricated discrete component prototype PCB and utilizing commercial sample resistors and capacitors to emulate sensor behaviour, have shown the feasibility of the proposed approach in a wide resistive range.
Figure 1 provides a visual example of a general activity, associated discrete component activities, and scoring options for the key change: "Provide self-management support at every visit through goal setting and action planning".
This imposes a constraint on the tree topology (the discrete component of a genealogy) and therefore reduces the space of allowable genealogies.
