Variables were described using either t-tests and Wilcoxon rank-sum, or chi-square and Fisher's exact.
Within the model, organ-specific CLs may be described using either first-order intrinsic CLs (CLint) or, if nonlinearities are present, using Vmax and Km values to denote capacity-limited kinetics (i.e., Michaelis Menten).
The orientation of these families is described using either a finite number of fiber orientations or a fiber distribution function.
Measured uranin BTCs were described using either the CDE with hysteretic Freundlich sorption or the CDE with linear kinetic sorption.
The structures may be described using either a multiple-beam model, or more generally, a two-and-half-dimensional finite-element model.
The temperature dependence of the characteristic relaxation times was described using either the Vogel Fulcher–Tammann, for the α-relaxations, or an Arrhenius type equation, for the β- and γ-relaxations.
In the method, the rail can be described using either a multiple-beam model as done in [16, 17] or a two-and-half dimensional (2.5D) finite element model [18], and the supports may have arbitrary degrees of freedom, either translational or rotational.
While a variety of computer readable formats exist, most phylogenetic trees are described using either the New Hampshire/Newick [ 9], the NHX extended Newick file format or the Nexus [ 10] file format.
As examples, the modularity methods of Blinov et al. require interchangeable modules to be described using either the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) or their proprietary markup language [ 16]; TinkerCell uses strict ontologies for model components like parts, promoters, and transcription factors, without the capability of editing or defining new ontologies [ 19].
The dynamics of these networks may be described using systems of coupled equations, either continuous or discrete [ 37, 38].
