These coverings have been considered as a realistic model for the growth of quasicrystals: the overlapping decagons are 'quasi-unit cells' analogous to the unit cells from which crystals are constructed, and the matching rules maximize the density of certain atomic clusters.
The mill was the calculating unit, analogous to the central processing unit (CPU) in a modern computer; the store was where data were held prior to processing, exactly analogous to memory and storage in today's computers; and the reader and printer were the input and output devices.
Two other media companies -- Knight Ridder and the Tribune Company -- have also assembled their online businesses in separate units analogous to New York Times Digital, but neither has moved as far toward a public offering as the Times Company.
Cells in the final area can recognise general things, animals included.Dr Serre considered his computer's processing units analogous to nerve cells, and he organised them into areas, just as they are in real brains.
Four different types of semi-natural incubation units, analogous in utilizing a gravel matrix for incubation and a natural intra- and supra gravel water flow, but differing in size and shape, were developed.
Using NHANES categorization, we binned factors into 21 "class" groupings in order to discern patterns among related groups of factors, analogous to chromosomal units in GWAS (Figure 1A).
Thus, the internal clock might produce more time units (analogous to the ticks of a clock) in shorter time intervals.
Finally, perhaps transient cells are maintained because they contribute to the fitness of nearby (and genetically identical) tumor-propagating cells, or even to their proliferative units, analogous to the evolution of multicellularity.
We propose to present the random error in units analogous to the "meter", i.e., the universally accepted unit of length, which originally referred to the one ten-millionth of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole.
