The committee's ingenious response was to introduce a time factor akin to basketball's shot clock, to limit a coach's ability to make substitutions and to put a limit on those substitutions.
Asymptotic solutions for the contact pressure and shearing tractions present adjacent to the edge of an incomplete contact are derived, and for each a dimensional scaling factor (akin to a generalised stress intensity factor), is defined.
The concept of an effectiveness factor, akin to the analysis of reactions in porous catalysts, is applied to the spatial gradient sensing problem, with the distinction that slow, not fast, diffusion is required for effective gradient sensing.
Although Acosta et al.'s factor analysis also produced a three-factor solution, their third factor was composed of items related to sensory/peripheral factors (e.g. taste, smell and feel in fingers); they did not report a four-factor solution [ 15] so we cannot determine whether the dizzy item would have formed a separate buzz factor akin to that found here.
Some scientists believe that getting a job should be all about objective factors, akin to passing a test or conducting a successful experiment.
One can individuate the "symbols" comprising the Turing machine alphabet non-semantically, through factors akin to geometric shape.
Although there are reports of miRNA genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III [ 20], most miRNA appear to be transcribed by RNA polymerase II [ 21] and are regulated by RNA pol II-associated transcription factors, akin to protein-coding genes [ 22].
Large-scale, population-based studies with the power to calculate the population attributable risk of specific CMDs from modifiable risk factors (akin to the INTERHEART (2003) study for myocardial infarction [ 26]) are critical for guiding population-wide NCD prevention and control strategies, particularly for the primary prevention of CMD.
Her sacking from the US X Factor felt akin to the OK! magazine version of the fall of Rome.
Some dismiss the insider factor as akin to other market anomalies, such as the January effect, which holds that stocks rise that month (the S&P fell 3.6% last January).
But adhering to an approach that overlooks these factors is akin to doing away with fire departments, on the grounds that without them people would be more careful – and so there would then be no fires.
