JOE TORRE loosely compared it to the year he went "from hitting.363 to being a babbling idiot".
In American terms, it would perhaps be the equivalent of "Brokeback Mountain" — to which this movie has been loosely compared — grossing as much as "Titanic".
The detention numbers can be loosely compared to data obtained by the Associated Press in 2009 as part of a Freedom of Information Act request, also based on a single day of data.
FLAME/COPASI can be loosely compared to CompuCell [11], another multiparadigm framework which links cellular automata and mathematical (ODE and PDE) models.
We're speaking loosely by comparing Nokia net sales to Microsoft's revenue figures, but as the comparison is more conservative on the Nokia side, I don't mind that much.
We found the first contact peak between CH4 and CH4 is more significant than between C2H6 and C2H6, but at a separation distance of ~4.4 6.9 Å, the curve of the C2H6 C2H6 RDF is above that of CH4 CH4, indicating that the separation between C2H6 molecules is larger than the distance between the CH4 molecules and C2H6 is loosely packed compared with CH4.
At the same time, forager-upregulated genes are much more strongly connected while nurse-upregulated genes are more loosely connected compared to non-differentially expressed genes (A ); Nurse-upregulated genes have a small but significant increase in evolutionary rate (C ); and both forager- and nurse-upregulated genes are more highly expressed than non-differentially expressed genes (B ).
On the other hand, loosely connected proteins are compared to other loosely connected proteins, which potentially have lower association scores, thus the artificial advantage of the highly connected proteins is removed.
The P.D.L. could be compared, loosely, to independent baseball leagues in which eager collegiate players get to continue playing ball in the summer in the hope of being spotted by major league scouts.
While full media aggregates were larger, they were loosely packed as compared to conditioned media aggregates.
