The electric current in semiconductors is carried by electrons, which have a negative charge, and also by "holes," analogous entities that carry a positive charge.
The term 'conversion' means that something already existing in a particular environment acquires an adaptive trait present only in part of analogous entities coexisting in the same setting.
In this study, we have used the term nonalignment to refer to two analogous sets of entities such that one entity is subsumed by the other in the first pair while one entity is not subsumed by the other in the second pair.
They are descriptive of entities analogous to certain things that are familiar.
The key motivation of adopting CA technology to the problem at hand is to make the discrete cellular entities analogous to the allocation or behavior within the real world.
Although results of the differential equation model are dependent on the treatment of individuals as continuous entities, analogous behavior is observed in stochastic systems with discrete individuals when a pathogen is introduced or reintroduced into a partially immune population.
She said she views Mr. Silver's work as a separate entity, somewhat analogous to that of a columnist.
Structuralists (often inspired by Benacerraf 1965) argue that any omega-sequence (roughly, any sequence of discrete entities structurally analogous to the series 0, 1, 2, …) can play the role of the natural numbers (cf. Resnik 1997).
Instead, you could think of the battery as more analogous to gas itself — an entity that goes in and out of a car as needed, owned not by the driver but by the company that sells you the fuel.
There are four types of moral entities, says Pufendorf, analogous to categories applied to physical things: (1) states or conditions (status), (2) substances (specifically, persons), and modes in a more specific sense namely, (3) moral qualities (affective/effective modes) and (4) moral quantities (estimative modes).
