By John Updike Maxwell in 1980: in novel after novel, he strove for "the line of truth exactly superimposed on the line of feeling".
In describing, in this magazine, his friend the poet Louise Bogan, upon her death, in 1970, he said, "In whatever she wrote, the line of truth was exactly superimposed on the line of feeling": such an exacting superimposition represented his ideal.
Two triangles are said to be congruent if one can be exactly superimposed on the other by a rigid motion, and the congruence theorems specify the conditions under which this can occur.
Results in the calcanei showed: (1) the same nonlinear equation best described the dorsal ("compression") and plantar ("tension") trabecular tracts, (2) these tracts could be exactly superimposed on the corresponding compression/tension stress trajectories of the cantilevered beams, and (3) trabecular tracts typically formed orthogonal intersections.
In case edge, detection was inaccurate (not exactly superimposed onto the angiographic edge), and manual adjustments could be made so as to obtain the best reconstruction possible.
The ER and PR structures superimpose well (1.2 Å rmsd over 191 C α atoms), with the planes of the ligands, defined by the A-, B-, C- and D-rings, almost exactly superimposed.
The median durations of survival and the shapes of the survival curves of actual and 'virtual' patients subjected to biopsy or subtotal resection (STR) superimpose exactly.
It has been shown by Edwards et al. [ 24] and by Steipe and Kaindl [ 25, 26] that RMSD opt is a metric on the space of the classes of equivalent structures (i. e. structures that can be superimposed exactly by a rototranslation).
OK, I see in 6A that the fitted (flexible) monomers seem to superimpose almost exactly on the tetramer.
Quadratic lines of best fit through observational data superimposed almost exactly on model predictions using 4 or fewer parameters Figure 2 and Additional file 2: Figure S1).
