We found that many Athila elements are characterized by either of two alternative structures, typical of non-autonomous retrotransposons: 1) LTRs plus a single ORF encoding Gag proteins, or, 2) LTRs plus two ORFs, encoding Gag and Env proteins.
Of the total 107 mapped markers, 81 loci were significantly ordered in the framework map and most (16/24) of the remaining loci could be placed with significant support in either of two alternative intervals.
Non-significant (P > 0.05) difference in the interval distances between framework markers was found in the sex-specific maps when non-framework markers were included or not, which can be due to the fact that most (19/26) of the non-framework loci still can be placed with significant (LOD = 2; odds of 100 1) support in either of two alternative intervals at LOD = 3 (odds of 1000 1).
They were told that they must replace a foreign-made machine that had just broken down with one of two alternatives: either an American-made machine, which "a friend" had recently bought and which had not broken down, or another foreign-built machine, which was statistically less likely to break down than the American one.
Led by Axel Grenholm, the committee recommended one of two alternatives: either establish a branch from the Drammen Line and built a tunnel under the city center, in which all trains would terminate at Oslo Ø.
Proponents of noncausal theories generally go for one or another of two alternatives, appealing either to the content of an intention that the agent is said to have concurrently with performing the action in question, or to the intentional content of the action itself.
"I did what I did because it was the more tolerable of two alternatives that were either way painful, even disastrous," he is quoted as saying, in "A Letter to Elia".
Economic evaluations require the comparison of two alternatives to identify which is more efficient [2].
