Affects are defined as "passing deviations from the state of equanimity", whereas passions are "ingrained desires" (LPs [1850]: 76).
Having defined a metric quantifying the deviation of the current state from a control, the selection step of the algorithm identifies a subset of motifs composed of genes whose transcriptional state is responsible for the maximum deviation from the control state Two interesting properties of the transcriptional state are worth exploring further.
We therefore first introduce a more appropriate measurement of noise in this context, defined as the deviation from the OFF state, normalized by the distance between the steady state ON and OFF values: 2Here, c̅1 and c̅0 are the steady state values of output corresponding to static inputs at ON and OFF, respectively.
Combined with the equivalence principle, it is an argument for regarding gravitational free-fall as the privileged state of motion, rather than as a forced deviation from the privileged state of motion.
The signed directed graph, called a "model graph," is used for representing cause and effect relationships among process variables in a system, and a "Pattern" on the graph is introduced to represent a state of the system, which is specified by "0" for normal state, " + " and " − " for larger and smaller deviation from the normal state, respectively.
For large deviation from the steady state, a full numerical analysis is employed to obtain the steady state.
Pathological processes lead to a deviation from the steady state, and the intervention is applied by the medical doctor to eliminate the pathological state.
Data suggest that the conditional cash transfer to women was more clearly understood, but there were still some issues of confusion that led to deviations from the stated policy.
Neuropathological states (e.g., epileptic seizures) could then be conceptualised as a breakdown of, or deviation from, the critical state; see [15], for example.
