The phrase "are rather close" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe the proximity or similarity between two or more things, whether in a physical, emotional, or conceptual sense.
Example: "The two theories are rather close in their conclusions, suggesting a shared understanding of the phenomenon."
Alternatives: "are quite similar" or "are fairly near".
The mobilities of these anions are rather close but still have a well-defined order: ClO4− < Br− < Cl− < NO3−.
We find that optical and structural properties of the optimized photoconverted are rather close to those of standard PPV.
Some models are also presented for C/C or oxyde/oxyde composites, these models are rather close to the one developed on polymer matrix composites.
In case of the blend of D-PHBV8 and PHBP11 the crystalline peaks of C D and CO bands grows simultaneously during crystallization, and the growth rates are rather close to that of D-PHBV8.
Comparison with other models and with external data shows that our results are rather close to the GPS-levelling data in well-selected test regions, with an uncertainty of 4 7 cm, for truncation at degree 200.
Therefore, excellent electric properties, including dielectric constant of 11 at a frequency of 100 Hz, a piezoelectric value (d33) of −23 pC/N, a remnant polarization (Pr) of 7 μC/cm2 and a maximum polarization (Ps) of 10 μC/cm2 were observed in hydrogenized P VDF-co-TrFE), which are rather close to that obtained in coP VDF-co-TrFEoP VDF-co-TrFE
As shown in Fig. 6, AOD estimates in Calama are rather closer to Copiapo/La Serena, which in turn explains its relatively low soiling rate (see Table 2).
Presenters Helen Skelton and Barney Harwood are rather closer to the target demographic than the hosts were in my day – Noakes stayed with Blue Peter into his 40s – but no worse for that.
This is substantially higher than the global average of bilateral visa requirements of 65%% reported in (Czaika & De Haas, 2014), which seems to confirm that African states are rather closed towards the free movement of people.
These data were rather close to the experimental results obtained (CMCase was 28.84 U g−1).
During an early stage, conditions were rather close to the Pleistocene ones.
