The phrase "a distinct hypothesis" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a specific, clearly defined hypothesis in a scientific or academic context.
Example: "In our research, we formulated a distinct hypothesis regarding the effects of temperature on enzyme activity."
Alternatives: "a clear hypothesis" or "a specific hypothesis".
The vascular group was likely to be on similar multiple drugs, so the distinct hypothesis was tested, that was drug prescribing in vascular conditions overall may influence key drug prescribing in the individual non-vascular conditions of COPD, OA or depression.
Early studies using electron microscopy and Golgi staining (Gallego, 1986; Génis Galvez et al., 1977; Hinds and Hinds, 1979, 1983; Prada et al., 1987; Tarrés, 1984) demonstrated that presumptive migrating RINs can have both bipolar or multipolar morphologies, and suggested a number of distinct hypotheses relating these morphologies to RIN type and migratory phase.
While there are several plausible mechanisms consistent with a potency hypothesis, 29 other distinct hypotheses have also been advanced, such as an effect related to the hydrophylic/lipophylic status of each statin, or a statin-specific effect.
From an evolutionary perspective, two distinct hypotheses have been offered to explain this energy pattern.
To specifically test these three distinct hypotheses, we created a modified version of the number-luminance congruency task by adding two manipulations: a "contrast sign" manipulation and an "instruction" manipulation.
To make scientific progress, Platt (Platt, 1964) emphasized defining at least two distinct hypotheses and then designing an experiment with the power to clearly distinguish between these hypotheses.
The four measures of incremental support can disagree over the comparative degree to which a single item of data incrementally confirms two distinct hypotheses.
Usage biases in these dinucleotides had already been observed within and between genomes in a wide variety of organisms (see, among others, [44] [47]), and distinct hypotheses have been proposed to account for such observations.
The predictive coding framework encompasses the two distinct hypotheses, in the sense that it predicts the adjustment of a generative model of current stimulus trains (cf. the model-adjustment hypothesis) by using plastic changes in synaptic connections (cf. the adaptation hypothesis).
This trial was structured so that we could address four distinct hypotheses, any or all of which might be the subject of a subsequent phase III trial.
