The phrase "the former quantity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring back to a previously mentioned quantity in a discussion or text.
Example: "In the equation, we found that the latter quantity was larger than the former quantity."
Alternatives: "the previous amount" or "the earlier figure."
To compare the dc conductivity with the self-diffusion coefficients, the former quantity was converted into a charge diffusivity Dσ using the Nernst Einstein equation.
In addition, Pearson correlation coefficient R2 values and standard error of estimate (SEE) as well as the former quantity vary in the range 0 1, of which 1 represents a perfect model and 0 means a model without any predictive ability.
The former quantity is: d n (t ) d t = n (t ) f ¯ (t ).
In addition, Jacobians of the former quantities with respect to optical parameters of the atmosphere are analyzed.
The opacity, κ, can be calculated for any temperature, density, and chemical composition and is found to depend in a complex manner largely on the two former quantities.
"Then you sort yourself out and you're like, 'Nah!'" Jay, a former quantity surveyor, has a similar attitude to the grind.
Multiplying the former characteristic quantities by a factor 10 we may consider the new reference values R ∗ = 5 ⋅ 10 − 2 m, L ∗ = 10 3 m, q c ∗ = 2.5 10 − 4 m 3 / s.
But the fact that, indeed, K slope as well as SURtc perform superior to SUV in the survival analysis supports the conjecture that the former two quantities are in fact better correlated with K m which in turn implies that b≈const in the whole patient group.
Higher mineralization is attained in all methods using BDD instead Pt, because the former produces greater quantity of OH enhancing the oxidation of pollutants.
While the drift and dispersion or diffusion coefficients in the former are derived quantities having explicit physical significance, the dispersion or diffusion coefficient in the latter, strictly speaking, is a proportionality constant that needs to be determined empirically.
The former effects increased quantities of non-NRP1-coupled VEGF-VEGFR complexes with increasing total VEGFR density, despite the diminishing fractional occupancies of VEGFRs (Fig. 5D).
