The phrase "a quantity closer" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing measurements, comparisons, or approximations in relation to a specific value or reference point.
Example: "To achieve better accuracy, we need to find a quantity closer to the actual measurement."
Alternatives: "a value nearer" or "an amount more similar".
Among the proposed approaches, we observe that offering free items can bring the retailer's effective order quantity close to the optimal level.
The Kurds' specific allegation is that though they are shipping out a quantity of oil close to what they promised in the deal -- 550,000 barrels per day -- they are receiving significantly less than the proportion of the Iraqi budget they were expecting, 17percentt.
Instead of mass-producing stuff overseas and shipping it here, "additive manufacturing" (the industrial version of 3D printing) lets us make many things in smaller quantities closer to the customer.
The mean squared error (MSE: a quantity used to measure how close forecasts or predictions are to the eventual outcomes), time (TBM: time to build model), and model stability (STD: ST Deviation obtained from ten sub-samples) were also measured in the experiments.
Rieke-Zapp et al. (2009) assessed mechanical stabilization of non-photogrammetric cameras (e.g., Canon 5D, Nikon D3, D2X, D80, D200) and the test result showed that the accomplished accuracies, though limited in comparison with professional photogrammetric cameras, had great potentials for a large quantity of close range applications.
Using dimensionless quantities, closed form expressions of general validity are developed, for a variety of continuous process options (single module, multi-module, counter-current and "cross-flow" arrays).
A central issue in the power industry and among alternative power advocates is how best to eliminate the bottlenecks: by building more long-distance transmission lines or by generating more power in small quantities close to where it is needed.
The chemicals could be incorporated within the model membranes in quantities close to those reached within human SC upon heavy surface loading.
For illustration, we focus on data from Cheng et al. (2009), who provided one of the largest samples, reporting estimates of quantities close to those that appear in our model.
Samples of CA2 and CA4 mAOXs as well as native AOX (nAOX) were obtained with quantities close to 100 mg with specific activities of 16, 23 and 19 μmol·min-1·mg-1, respectively.
