There seems to be a belief in government and in much of business that knowledge can be cut into discrete blocks and that the ones that matter most are those of science and technology, engineering and maths.
Although mélanges can be several hundreds of meters thick, a simultaneously active part of a subduction plate boundary consists of one or multiple fault strands with a thickness of 5 to 35 m, which are sharply cut by discrete slip surfaces with thicknesses of <1 to 20 cm.
Horsetail plants, either collected locally or grown hydroponically, were washed in ultrapure water, allowed to air-dry, cut into discrete 1 cm sections of rhizome/root, basal stem, distal stem, nodal regions and leaves and ca 0.5 g of each placed in acid-washed 20 mL PFA teflon© vessels.
When genetic differences are ones in degrees of frequencies among different populations, avoid typological discussions and emphasize that the differences are a matter of frequency and probability, not differences that are clear-cut and discrete.
But I'll try—I'll always try: It's a ham-esque substance that comes in a cylindrical shape, though it's usually sold cut up into discrete circles, and tastes like the salty offspring of bacon.
We used bout analysis [36] on the intervals between all syllables to objectively cut recordings into discrete songs.
Classical type II R-M systems recognise palindromic sequences of 4 8 bp in length and cut DNA into discrete fragments within or close to the recognition site [ 16].
While our primary analysis will consider donor age as a continuous variable, we will also assess the cumulative exposure to older donor blood and potential dose effects by categorising donor age of transfused products using quartiles of the overall donor age distribution as discrete cut points as well as categorising donor age in discrete categories (<18, <45, 45 60, >61).
Transformed pieces of furniture include a circular table whose top has discrete cut-out areas by Jean Blackburn.
The location of cut-marks in discrete areas such as the lingual surface of the mandible, the alveolar process of the maxilla, the root of the zygomatic process on the temporal bone and along the fronto-nasal suture, indicates that the tongue, lips, ears, and nose were also removed.
To date, selection for molecular genetic testing for MODY has used discrete cut-offs of limited clinical characteristics with varying sensitivity and specificity.
