The phrase "as a discrete structure" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to mathematics, computer science, or any field discussing distinct or separate components.
Example: "In this study, we will analyze the data as a discrete structure to better understand the individual elements involved."
Alternatives: "as an individual entity" or "as a separate component".
Furthermore, as flat steel ribbon layers are a discrete structure, the online monitoring of FSRWPVs can be conveniently realized, so they have performance of "leak only no bursting".
Unlike the hippocampus, the hypothalamus is not a discrete structure but rather a group of nuclei.
The sixth arch is very small and not visualised as a separate, discrete structure from pouch 4/5 in Fig. 1. [Reproduced with permission from Waldhausen J (2006) Branchial cleft and arch anomalies in children. Seminars in Pediatric Surgery 15:64–69].
A serendipitous observation led us to another, surprisingly large (as large as rat erythrocytes and second only to the nucleus as a discrete intracellular structure) non-membranous toroidal organelle in sympathetic ganglion neurons.
The stitched sandwich specimens consist of three components: the upper and lower skins, the heat insulation core and the stitches, and it modeled as a discrete stitched three-layer structure.
Convolution kernels take as input two discrete structures such as strings, trees, and graphs, and compute their similarity by recursively aggregating the similarity of their "parts".
The model is physiologically structured, with age class as the (discrete) structuring variable.
For example, classic electron microscopy demonstrating the three types of cell junction of the intercalated disc as spatially discrete structures implies corresponding spatially discrete sites for connexins and adhesion molecules.
On the other hand, many authors, the first of whom was Malpighi, envisioned the cells not just as the space between the "membranes" but as discrete structures bounded by cell walls [ 11, 18].
Cocomplexation of the bis alkyl)manganese reagent, or fragment thereof, with an alkali metal amide leads to a discrete molecular structure as seen with 1, hence the problem of having to cleave a polymeric structure is not an issue.
