Sentence examples for hoc reaction from inspiring English sources

This governing style was largely an ad hoc reaction to failure and crisis.

According to Clegg et al. (2002, p. 494), improvisation necessarily engages planning and ad hoc reaction (see also Kamoche and Cunha 2001).

Still, Washington officials, financial institution management and investors don't seem to understand this and believe each ad hoc reaction to each of the continuing stream of problems will be the last, with clear sailing beyond.

This new understanding will allow us to design conservation programs, perform restoration of damaged or degraded areas, and address resource management concerns (e.g., agriculture, logging, mining, hunting) more effectively than with the current approach of ad hoc reactions to ecological and environmental problems.

The results show that the spurious runaway chemical reactions appearing on coarse grids can be eliminated by using adaptive meshes without invoking any ad hoc treatment for reaction rates.

As professors Willcocks and Lacity note, "Corporate work systems, in our experience, are frequently highly flawed, either through indifferent design or having grown in an ad hoc manner in reaction to problems and various demands.

Post hoc analysis of the reaction time to the guessing cues that preceded the reward anticipation periods revealed no differences between groups, suggesting similar levels of engagement.

To determine infectivity, which we defined as transducing units per physical particle, we designed an ad hoc quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that selectively amplified the reverse-transcribed vector genome and discriminated it from plasmid DNA, which was carried over from the transfection used to produce the vectors (Supporting Information Fig. 1).

Michaelis-Menten kinetics are often used ad hoc to model biochemical reactions that are expected to saturate, yet their employment introduces an additional nonlinearity which may or may not be necessary.

Post-hoc analysis showed that reaction times were shorter for targets located on the midline of the array than for those to either side (821.9±42.5 ms and 1126.6±48.9 ms, respectively; F (1, 9) = 297.3; p<0.001; see Figure 2).

Such a description would involve the introduction of new variables and new assumptions as well as relatively ad hoc choices regarding their reactions and behaviour, obfuscating the comparison between the PDE model and the stochastic model.
