The phrase "ad hoc procedures" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used to refer to methods or processes that are created for a specific purpose or situation, rather than being part of a standard procedure.
Example: "The team implemented ad hoc procedures to address the unexpected challenges that arose during the project."
Alternatives: "temporary measures" or "specific protocols".
"Instead of having hundreds of ad hoc procedures for journal entries, we now have just three," Buthman says.
Literature explaining quantitative methods is scarce and many engineers are forced to develop ad hoc procedures, some of which are mathematically flawed.
Experimental results show that these general-purpose strategies can compete with, and in some cases outperform, previous more ad hoc procedures.
Existing approaches for two and three dimensions define few ad hoc procedures to calculate these segments within simplices of dimensions one, two and three.
They found trash rooms bursting with cardboard, elevators and exits blocked by bags of recycling, trash chutes with pest problems, circuitous routes from trash storage to curb, sidewalks piled with mountains of garbage bags and ad hoc procedures that created friction at every turn.
In the words of Kurt Lewin, the late German social psychologist, "If you want to understand a system, try and change it". Carrier also points out that implementing IIoT can help expose the "hidden factories" within manufacturing operations--a chaotic mix of unstable and ad hoc procedures and norms.
The algorithm, conceived to support database schema design, allows the designer to distinguish among five different kinds of contradictions, each identified by an ad hoc procedure.
To improve on this ad hoc procedure in this paper we explore the possibilities of Direct Numerical Simulations to gain more insight in this complex phenomenon with the ultimate aim to develop improved closures.
In whole, the methodology developed herein replaces an ad hoc procedure with a well-defined, systematic procedure that produces an optimal design subject to limited resources, implementation restrictions, and cost factors.
On the other side, the photo-active self-cleaning titania obtained by an ad hoc procedure (developed to preserve the polymeric support features) maintains the material clean upon light exposure.
