Insofar as something is complex, according to Moore, it can be 'defined' in terms of its component parts, and, unless we are to go on ad infinitum, we must eventually reach simple parts, which cannot themselves be defined (PE, 7-8).
It is possible to assess the safety level of a long span bridge by using a probabilistic approach in terms of its component and system reliability indices.
The force on Q2 due to Q1 is −F, which also has a magnitude of 3.6 newtons; its direction, however, is opposite to that of F. The force F can be expressed in terms of its components along the x and y axes, since the force vector lies in the xy plane.
The first step determines the nature of the cloud environment in terms of its components and their interactions, and defines a base cloud environment.
In order to do that, the designer defines the system in terms of its components, their dependencies, the properties they fulfill, and the properties each component requires to other components.
Similar to (2), f may be also expressed in terms of its components as f = f x x d, y d, D, f y x d, y d, D ; therefore, the shift of the x and y coordinates is described independently [i.e., f x = ∆x and f x = ∆y in (2)].
Starting with the cadherin catenin "core" of AJs, we then expand our analysis to the larger cadhesome network, tracing its evolution from pre-metazoans to vertebrates, both in terms of its components and functional interactions.
The GAL network is arguably the most suitable gene network to test our model due to the network's well-characterized [ 14– 18] nature in terms of its components and their interaction topology.
Although the KSF-MPQ does not contain two items (i.e., heavy, splitting), it was fundamentally consistent with the original Melzack model in terms of its components (i.e., sensory, affective pain).
In lambda tau method, mathematical expressions for failure rate ((lambda _s)) and repair time ((tau _s)) of the system are formulated in terms of its constituting component's failure rates ((lambda _i)'s) and repair times ((tau _i)'s).
Of course, what is made of gold may still be described in terms of its material components, but we should call it not "gold" but "golden" (1033a7).
