Sentence examples for basis of the arbitrary from inspiring English sources

A numerical prediction method has been developed for local scour on a sand bed due to turbulent flows on the basis of the arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulation, in which three-dimensional body-fitted coordinates are properly generated for the sand bed profile unsteadily deformed by the flows.

The Nordpred package allows for two additional assumptions — that recent trends are more relevant to the future evolution of risk than those in the distant past and that the impact of the factors underlying them (whatever they may be) will progressively diminish (the basis of the arbitrary reduction in the 'drift' component of the model in each 5-year period).

Some examples are obvious: if 16 is assumed on the basis of some arbitrary convention as the atomic weight for oxygen, the atomic weight of hydrogen will necessary be 1.008.

Additionally, Richard Wasserstrom argues that the principle that persons ought not to be treated on the basis of morally arbitrary features cannot grasp the fundamental wrong of direct racial discrimination, because the principle is "too contextually isolated" from the actual features of a society in which many people have racist attitudes.

On the basis of an arbitrary threshold (HS = 50), the Absolute Validation Index (0 ≤ AVI ≤ 1) indicates how well the model discriminates high-suitability from low-suitability areas and the Contrast Validation Index (0 ≤ CVI ≤ AVI) indicates how much the model differs from a null model, which would predict habitat suitability at random [ 53, 59, 62].

Comorbidities that might lead to study-related (serious) adverse events will be excluded on the basis of an arbitrary selection of conditions listed in the ACE-27 comorbidity scale.

Each model has been developed on the basis of an arbitrary selection of data sets among all the data sets available.

The first point can be comprehensively tackled on the basis of arbitrary correlations while the definitive replacements are awaited.

As SGA is defined on the basis of an arbitrary chosen cutoff birth weight centile, not all infants falling below the 10th centile are abnormally small because of growth restriction.

The feminist legal scholar Azizah al Hibri elaborates on this twisted form of logic: in the Qur'anic story, Satan (the first fanatic) claimed his superiority over human beings on the basis of an arbitrary principle (fire is better than clay) that he invented to serve his own ego.
