The phrase "absence of a conditional" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing logic, programming, or conditions in various scenarios where a conditional statement is not present.
Example: "In this equation, the absence of a conditional leads to a straightforward solution without any dependencies."
Alternatives: "lack of a condition" or "nonexistence of a conditional".
Field (2008) and others criticised theories based on partial logic for the absence of a 'proper' conditional and bi-conditional.
This distinction must be interpreted with caution though because assignments were not masked, hence individuals in the low-value conditional cash transfer arm could have behaved differently than if they were to receive the same incentive in the absence of a higher conditional cash transfer arm.
However, it remains unclear whether NANOS3 plays a physiologically significant role in the absence of NANOS2, because a conditional knockout allele of Nanos3 has not been available.
A major challenge is how to estimate m A, the probability of cancer fatality within five years of type A detection (i.e. in the absence of screening) conditional on no death from competing risk.
Thus the absence of the conditional cue (the floor insert) at the time when the place-reward association was experienced determined whether or not the mice were impaired.
Our analysis shows that even without temporal variability, conditional dispersal and the absence of a dispersal cost are not necessary conditions for dispersal to evolve.
Implicitly, the absence of an edge represents the conditional independence of the according variables.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00411.020 Conditional on the absence of a peptide chain on the P-site bound tRNA, GTP binding to RF3 induces the open conformation of the factor thereby driving the ribosome into the intersubunit rotated MS-II state (Klaholz et al., 2004; Gao et al., 2007; Jin et al., 2011; Zhou et al., 2012).
In the absence of a dispersal cost, we predict that selection on conditional dispersal will always lead to panmixia and not simply to balanced dispersal.
