Here, the early time point served as the reference time relative to which the second (late) time point data were corrected.
(In a system of bodies, the center of mass is the point relative to which the bodies' distances are in inverse proportion to their masses).
There are more than three cusps in (h(partial D)) (hence, five or more according to Lemma 6 (if and only if there exists a point relative to which the winding number of (h(partial D)) is larger than one, i.e., there exists (pin mathbb {C},) such that (Delta _{partial D}arg (h cdot )-p)> 2pi).
Reference point pairs, relative to which motion was measured, were defined on the replicate femur both proximal and distal to the osteotomy gap; two points across the midpoint of the intact cortical bone bridge, two points midway across the osteotomy and two points just posterior of the plate on the femur.
The role of these items, known as 'anchors', was to function as fixed points of reference relative to which the difficulty of other items unique to either test could be calculated.
The role of these values, known as 'person anchors', was similar to that of item anchors in that they functioned as fixed points of reference relative to which the ability measures of all persons who took just one of the tests could be calculated.
Poverty is relative to which country you live in.
There followed 15 years of relative doldrums, at which point it was bought by Mr McCourt, a property tycoon from Boston, and his then wife.
We define an overall mutation rate per gene and specify the relative ratio at which point mutations, duplications, deletions, and rearrangements take place.
The main advantage of this method is the relative ease with which point and interval estimates for parameters that are complicated functions of the data (for example, and ) can be obtained, without having to first derive the appropriate sampling distribution.
The tests would come whenever they risked visiting China, which they did in part to find wives and see relatives, and attempted to return, at which point they might be admitted or might be turned back.
