The phrase "absolute quantities" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts involving measurements, data analysis, or scientific discussions where specific, unambiguous amounts are referenced.
Example: "In our study, we focused on absolute quantities rather than relative changes to ensure clarity in our findings."
Alternatives: "fixed amounts" or "definite quantities".
In many engineering applications, one requires maximum absolute quantities experienced by the structure during the earthquake of interest.
The convergence of experimentally and computationally accessible timescales will allow the comparison of absolute quantities characterizing in vitro and in silico (computed) protein folding6.
The method is based on using dilution factors and relative concentrations rather than absolute quantities, which are often difficult to determine, especially in short-lived assembly intermediates.
Unless and until policy makers, politicians and, yes, the press free themselves from the simplistic and fallacious notion that standardized test scores represent absolute quantities of learning, they will very likely promote miseducative practices in our schools.
It is demonstrated that the nesting of scales described in these relationships implies limits to the retrieval of absolute concentrations of any biochemical constituents or absolute quantities of the amount of scattering material from hyperspectral observations of total scattering.
"The reduction or increase of absolute quantities of food is a very weak proxy for current and future food security levels, as the latter depends more on the economic laws of supply and demand and of redistribution, and on non-biophysical things such as poverty, infrastructure, politics and management".
While that temperature, 70.9 degrees Fahrenheit, was 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit above average, it was incorrect to describe it as "almost 5 percent above average" because Fahrenheit temperatures are not absolute quantities and therefore changes cannot be expressed consistently in terms of percent.
Despite being an outlier value however, they are not laid too far away in absolute quantities.
Space and time are either absolute quantities or not; quantum mechanics is either true or false.
It's worth stressing that while DA opposes fundamental absolute quantities, it is potentially neutral on the question of manifold substantivalism (indeed, this topic barely appears in Brown 2005).
