The phrase "adjacent means" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe methods or ways that are next to or related to each other, but it lacks clarity without additional context.
Example: "In the study, we explored various adjacent means of improving efficiency in the workplace."
Alternatives: "related methods" or "nearby approaches".
Node degree represents the simplest centrality measure in a given network, corresponding to the number of nodes adjacent to a given node, where adjacent means directly connected [ 22].
In our examples, sites are a collection of counties (regional labor markets) and "adjacent" means geographically contiguous or "sharing a common border".
Then, a community corresponds to the union of all k-cliques that can be reached from one to the other through a set of adjacent k-cliques (where adjacent means share k−1 nodes).
In general, A- and DA-optimal weights for estimating adjacent mean differences are found analytically for a simple model and numerically for a biologically motivated model.
"Adjacent apartments means adjacent terraces," says Bailyn, who likes to give parties.
In other words, getting a high correlation between two adjacent blocks means that the directional change has little effect on curvelet coefficients for the specific two orientations at hand.
The second correction (ST) adjusted for the total SNPs (10,012) and the six tests outlined above (pST α = 0.05/10012×6 = 8.3×10−7); however this correction is likely overly conservative since prevalent linkage disequilibrium between adjacent SNPs means loci are not independent.
Our definition of adjacent simply means no apparent gap between the foci.
We note that not applying any distance cutoff for defining a pair of adjacent genes means that genes with much longer intergenic distances will be included for which the micro-synteny is expected to be much less evolutionary conserved thus potentially biasing our analysis.
The first distance class (i.e. [0 0.5] km) contained exclusively comparisons among individuals of the same breeding group, whilst the upper limit of the second distance class (1.5 km) approximates the mean shortest distance between two adjacent groups (mean ± SD = 1.91 ± 1.44 km).
