They are described as collections, but distinguished from the partless wholes distinct from their parts advocated by the more extreme realist Indian philosophers which are the target of Dharmakīrti's criticism.
The features which were found in the current study to be important for engagement were: complexity of the simulation; the learning environment as a whole (as distinct from simply the software), and overcoming the 'barrier' of navigational opacity.
This model identifies and calculates spatial inequities in all city units, in regard to whole facilities, distinct sets of facilities, or an individual facility; it then maps these facilities to determine the areas and the extent to which they experience inequity, for rational prioritization of the distribution of facilities in future planning.
The word "bitch" presents a whole other distinct set of problems.
A whole with distinct yet interlinked parts, each necessary for the other's existence and none of more importance than any other; no center, no rank, no privileged perspective.
In addition to identifying molecular expression patterns specific for myositis as a whole and distinct for its individual subtypes, we also applied and merged multiple clustering algorithms to identify robust clusters of genes that may provide unique insight into the molecular components of myositis (see Methods for the details).
Unfortunately, the Vaiśeṣikas claim that wholes are distinct from, and inhere in, their parts.
The adoption of extended objects is subject to the criticism brought forward by Dharmakīrti against Indian philosophers who admit wholes as distinct from their parts, and would, in a general way, conflict with the Buddhist idea that compounds only have nominal existence.
In particular, we propose a novel definition of chromosomal master sequence, as a sequence of physically distinct whole or fragmented chromosomes, whose length is taken to be the sum of the copy numbers of each whole or fragmented chromosome.
