The phrase "alternative pattern in which" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing different methods or approaches that can be employed in a particular context or situation.
Example: "The study explores an alternative pattern in which participants respond to stimuli in a more relaxed environment."
Alternatives: "different approach in which" or "varied method in which".
The minimum commute distance (MCD) and excess rate (ER) are used to compare observed home-to-work trip lengths with an "optimal" alternative commuter pattern in which the sum of the distance traveled by the working population is minimized.
(F ) At transition point 2, coiled-coil formation between chains A and C is prevented through an alternative hydrogen bonding pattern in which W111B/D interacts with Q168C/A.
We need to uphold the needs of our users, and see if we can find alternative patterns which do not have these negative usability and accessibility side-effects before programmers start building too much software which depends on the DateTime pattern in its current form.
Further, investigation of both the pelvic organs and Sa-IML will be important to clarify whether an alternative pattern of LBAS propagation, in which LBAS originates in the Sa-IML before spreading to the entire spinal cord, exists or not.
Four genes (three from muscle, one from blood) showed interesting RNA expression patterns, in which two different alternative splicing forms of the same gene showed reversed expression patterns before and after exercising, similar to that of the SXL gene in Drosophila [ 45].
Also discussed are three conceptual matters arising in connection with trend studies: 1. Alternative bases for classifying trends: pattern versus dynamics; 2. alternative modes in which largest-scale trends have been studied: 'exploratory' versus 'skeptical'; and 3. evolutionary progress.
In the case of two signals at different positions, one can reduce the multitude of permutations to patterns in which the same position in the two alternatives presents either the same (S) or different (D) colors.
Here we demonstrate that the brain implements an alternative solution in which retinal velocity patterns are themselves used to dissociate translations from rotations.
After inspecting the same crystallographic data, Sikorski and Atkins [19] suggested an alternative model, in which the peptide adopts a hairpin conformation but still displays a similar pattern of hydrogen bonding.
We propose an alternative approach in which species environment models are constructed using national datasets designed to capture broad-scale deposition patterns.
