Indeed, at the time the lack of standards for everything from weights and measures to electricity — even the gallon, for example, had eight definitions — threatened to overwhelm industry and consumers with a confusing array of incompatible choices.
Although it is common to try to make a choice whether to do something or not for example, to try to decide whether to A it is unclear what sense can be made of trying to make some specific choice e.g., trying to decide to A. Further, supposing that sense can be made of this, it would not seem to be rational to try, at one time, to make each of two obviously incompatible choices.
Their method enumerates the maximal bicliques on a bipartite graph of tree edges for the distributions of the two segments; these bicliques represent sets of mutually incompatible choices, indicating that the two segments may have had different evolutionary histories.
Conventional glass materials used for optical microscopy are incompatible choices for XFI measurements because of their high content of zinc and other elements; additionally, substantial silicon fluorescence from glass slides may saturate detectors.
Jane Dopkins, M.D., 30, in her 4th year of residency in obstetrics/gynecology at the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine, says that, unlike her, colleagues in her residency, especially those with families, generally perceive academic medicine as a career choice incompatible with the more flexible lifestyles they desire.
Although the axiom of choice is incompatible with both constructive and intuitionistic ZF, other choice principles may be added to the basic systems without producing the same undesirable results.
Choices between incompatible but equally well-supported rival theories, it is argued, are often made based on interests and local preferences rather than neutral universal grounds.
"Like the choice between political institutions, that between competing paradigms proves to be a choice between incompatible modes of community life" (1970, 94).
Last month the foreign ministers of five EU members wrote to the International Herald Tribune bemoaning Ukraine's deteriorating democracy, which they said was "incompatible with Ukraine's European choice".
Nevertheless, in these perovskite-based nanostructured solar cells, the transparent TiO2 compact layer between the conducting substrate and perovskite materials or the scaffold (Al2O3) generally requires high-temperature sintering at about 500°C [15, 17, 18, 23, 24], which limits substrate choice and is incompatible with the low-cost solar technology.
Aquinas' conception of free choice is also incompatible with modern notions of soft determinism, or the supposed compatibility of human responsibility (and of the sense [self-understanding] that one is freely choosing) with determination of every event by laws (e.g. physical) of nature.
