Speaking in a smoky voice that was both poised and down-home, she recalled visits from several Presidents, elegant functions at the Iranian Embassy, a meeting with King Hussein in her Daytona suite, an encounter with Engelbert Humperdinck.

This is *one* possible explanation that lends itself to an elegant model, but the mapping function between behavior and neural activity is complex, and many other schemes are possible.
Rosetta10,27, a scoring function derived using an elegant Bayesian analysis, the composite scoring function QMEAN635,36 and the potential RF_CB_SRS_OD introduced by Rykunov and Fiser18 are particularly successfull, even when tested on CASP targets18,28.
Out of laborious preparatory work emerged an elegant theory, associating a characteristic function with any system of attracting or repelling point particles.
Of course, some walk-ins were eagerly welcomed, like Trevlyn Atkinson, a nurse leaving a church function in an elegant black dress late Saturday night and requesting a ride to her home in Borough Park.
The set lists were identical, which made for an easy comparison, but in both iterations the songs fulfilled their function, exuding an elegant clarity.
