Sentence examples for be a close approximation from inspiring English sources

The probability distribution of the displacement of the structure seems to be a close approximation to a Gaussian distribution despite the nonlinearity.

While this will never be wholly valid, for regions as broad as those proposed for the three assessment processes in question, it will be a close approximation, because such a high proportion of species are endemic to single regions (86% for GEO, 90% for IPBES) and even to single subregions (66% for both GEO and IPBES).

The substitute to such functions must of necessity be a close approximation of the initial functions before this method can be meaningfully employed.

The latter value slightly exceeds the range of salinities that can be reliably estimated with the equation (the eutectic temperature in the system NaCl-H2O is -21.2°C) but is considered to be a close approximation.

Hence in the search for a theory of quantum mechanics it became a methodological requirement to Bohr that any further theory of the atom should predict values in domains of high quantum numbers that should be a close approximation to the values of classical physics.

We can relatively safely compare their result with ours, because SFRnuv and SFRFUV are calibrated from the same model, and the total IR luminosity in Iglesias-Páramo et al. (2006) is estimated with a formula proposed by Dale et al. (2001), which was proved to be a close approximation to our Ltir (see Takeuchi et al., 2005b).

We consider this to be a closer approximation to our experiment, which lasted for 21 generations.

The trough is readily detectable even in noisy data, corresponds to the time when ventricular ejection occurs, and may be a closer approximation to R-wave onset that precedes the CPttl peaks.

Since the controls are closely matched in time to cases, OR is a close approximation to the incidence rate ratio [ 20], which with these small incidence rates is in turn close to the RR.
