The phrase "as a relative time" is not commonly used in written English and may be unclear without context.
It could be used in discussions about time measurement or comparisons, but it requires additional context to convey a clear meaning.
Example: "The event occurred as a relative time to the previous incident, highlighting the differences in their timelines."
Alternatives: "in relation to time" or "in terms of time".
Still, the stretch bordering the East Village, east of Third Avenue, existed as a relative time capsule.
But of course, for Boltzmann the transition did not involve a major conceptual move, thanks to his conception of probability as a relative time.
The date and time could be referred to as an absolute time, such as "29 Aug 2008", "15/8/2009" or as a relative time, such as "yesterday" or "last Tuesday".
Gain and loss at homologous sites were modeled as a two-state continuous-time Markov process, with states 0 (absence) and 1 (presence) on a phylogeny using the tree branch length as a relative time scale in the R package DiscML (Kim and Hao 2014).
Informally, it may be useful to think of this as a relative universal time, but it differs in one important way: universal times are always non-negative integers, whereas the argument to sleep can be any kind of non-negative real, in order to allow for the possibility of fractional seconds.
For him, $f \vec{v} d^3\vec{v} $is introduced firstly as the relative time during which a (given) particle has a velocity between $\vec{v}$ and $\vec{v} + d^3\vec{v} $(WA I, 50).
As a preliminary analysis to modeling the OU law, the cumulative number of M ≥ 3 earthquakes was calculated as a function of relative time to the M7.3 quake over the entire period of activity (Fig. 2a).
Fig. 1 Plot of M c as a function of relative time to the M7.3 quake (vertical solid line) since the M6.5 quake (red) and since the M6.4 quake (blue) in which a 200-event window was used.
We then plotted the change in the number (the change in the rate of occurrence) of those shocks in the same area as a function of relative time to the M7.3 quake in Fig. 2c.
To do this, we first plotted the number (the rate of occurrence) of M ≥ 3 shocks in the entire area as a function of relative time to the M7.3 quake in Fig. 2b, where we counted M ≥ 3 shocks in each time window of 0.08 days.
Fig. 2 Plots of the cumulative number (a, d, g), the number (i.e., the rate of occurrence) (b, e, h), and the change in the number (i.e., the change in the rate of occurrence) (c, f, i) of M ≥ 3 earthquakes as a function of relative time (days) to the M7.3 quake (vertical solid line).
