At this remove, we can only discern the faint outlines of that approach.
One common analogy for considering the impact of nonspecific binding is as follows: although the stars (specific binding) are always in the sky, we can only discern them at night because daylight (nonspecific binding) overwhelms their signal.
I could only discern from the firm's directory — the Park and Fifth Avenue addresses of their apartments and Long Island and Connecticut country homes, some with names like "Brook Farm" — that they didn't have to worry much about it.
The ZnS Mn can discern an energy difference of about 0.4 J while EuD4TEA can only discern about 0.6 J.
However, because Opportunity's X-ray spectrometer can only discern the atomic elements in a rock, and not their mineralogical arrangement, no-one can say for sure.
The voluntary testing data that USDA obtained had serious problems, GAO said; for instance, USDA couldn't discern whether pig specimens were being tested for the first time, so the agency could only discern the general trend in infection numbers.

Thanks to the stunning preservation, the researchers could not only discern a heart and a circulatory system in these 3-centimeter fossils, but also some of the hallmarks of chordates, such as a dorsal nerve cord and a notochord, a rod of stiff tissue that provides support along the back of the body.
Light microscopy could only discern the size and shape of the two crystals (Fig. 4(a)).
