Alternatively, a file may contain an arbitrary binary image ( a BLOB ) or it may contain an executable.

Alternatively, when a self-balancing binary search tree is used, insertion and removal also take O ( log n ) time, although building trees from existing sequences of elements takes O ( n log n ) time ; this is typical where one might already have access to these data structures, such as with third-party or standard libraries.

Alternatively a Mutex could be used in place of the binary semaphore.

Alternatively, the neutron star could form in a binary system.

Alternatively, the algorithm below first sorts the array, and then tests all possible pairs in a careful order that avoids the need to binary search for the pairs in the sorted list, again achieving O ( n < sup > 2 </ sup >) time.

Alternatively, Laszlo applications can be compiled from LZX into Dynamic HTML ( DHTML ) or a binary SWF file, and loaded statically into an existing web page.

Alternatively, under penultimate hop popping this function may instead be performed by the LSR directly connected to the LER.

Alternatively, an analytic function is an infinitely differentiable function such that the Taylor series at any point x < sub > 0 </ sub > in its domain

# Alternatively, a single functional allele in the heterozygote may produce insufficient gene product for proper function, and the phenotype resembles that of the homozygote for the non-functional allele.

Alternatively, in polar coordinates, the gain of the transfer function is plotted as the radial coordinate, while the phase of the transfer function is plotted as the angular coordinate.

Alternatively, methods such as the delta rule can be used if the function is non-linear and differentiable, although the one below will work as well.

Alternatively, the parameter c can be interpreted by saying that the two inflection points of the function occur at x = b − c and x = b + c.

Alternatively it is possible to overexpress mutant forms of a gene that interfere with the normal ( wildtype ) genes function.

( Alternatively, we could use the theorem that every compact metric space is a continuous image of the Cantor set to get the function.

In fact, the fraction fields of the rings of regular functions on any open set will be the same, so we define, for any U, K < sub > X </ sub >( U ) to be the common fraction field of any ring of regular functions on any open affine subset of X. Alternatively, one can define the function field in this case to be the local ring of the generic point.

Alternatively, a production function can be defined as the specification of the minimum input requirements needed to produce designated quantities of output, given available technology.

Alternatively, and preferably, the function of a given host could be duplicated across multiple computers, each of which is connected to a different router or switch.

Alternatively, it is the unique anywhere-continuous function with these properties ( Rudin, 1976, chapter 8, exercise 6 ).

Alternatively, we could have defined to be the above function from the beginning, realized that is an isomorphism, and defined to be its inverse.

Alternatively, the maximum modulus principle can be viewed as a special case of the open mapping theorem, which states that a nonconstant holomorphic function maps open sets to open sets.

Alternatively, you may consider the subscript plus as an individual function with

Alternatively, if different criteria are combined by a weighted linear function, it is also possible to represent the problem in the weight space.

Alternatively, a fixed-length driveshaft can perform the function of a wishbone as long as the shape of the other wishbone provides control of the upright.

Alternatively, a full-rigged ship may be referred to by its function instead, as in collier or frigate, rather than being called a ship.

Alternatively, the first derivative of the asset's price function with respect to the interest rate, is matched with the liabilities.

Alternatively, the amino acid substitution could occur in a region of the protein which does not significantly affect the protein secondary structure or function.

Alternatively, the link resistance function may be included in the objective function ( and the total cost function eliminated from the constraints ).

Alternatively, Assistive Technology may attempt to improve the ergonomics of the devices themselves such as Dvorak and other alternative layouts, which offer more ergonomic layouts of the keys.

Alternatively, ocean eddies, the oceanic equivalent of atmospheric storms, or the large-scale meanders of the Circumpolar Current may directly transport momentum downwards in the water column.

Alternatively, civilian vehicles may be modified into improvised armored cars in ad-hoc fashion.

Alternatively, a unique position on the board on which a game piece may be located while in play.

Alternatively, a coin may be tossed, with the winners choosing whether to serve or receive first, or choosing which end of the court to occupy, and their opponents making the leftover the remaining choice.

Alternatively, if the boards are pre-dealt, " curtain cards " may be supplied which have each hand printed on them, so that each player can check at the beginning of the deal that he has the right cards.

Alternatively, since they may have felt the need to force some kind of victory — they could hardly remain at Marathon indefinitely.

Alternatively, the game may be played with ring-shaped pieces with a central hole.

Alternatively, conspiracy theories may arise when evidence available in the public record does not correspond with the common or official version of events.

Alternatively, computer programs may be executed with the aid of an interpreter, or may be embedded directly into hardware.

Alternatively, there may further be requirements for maximum terms that a government can keep power before holding an election.

Alternatively, the supernova may have resulted from the merger of two white dwarfs, so that the limit was only violated momentarily.

Alternatively, elapsed time may represent the gradual process of healing of old hatreds.

Alternatively, if Bishop Cellach was appointed by Giric, it may be that the gathering was intended to heal a rift between king and church.

Alternatively, if using more than one or two techniques for every experiment is infeasible, some of the benefits of consilience may still be obtained if it is well-established that these techniques usually give the same result.

Alternatively, DMs may develop their own fictional worlds to use as campaign settings.

Alternatively, a single hostname may correspond to many IP addresses: this can facilitate fault tolerance and load distribution, and also allows a site to move physical locations seamlessly.

Alternatively, each computer may have its own user with individual needs, and the purpose of the distributed system is to coordinate the use of shared resources or provide communication services to the users.

Alternatively, IPv6 hosts may use stateless address autoconfiguration.

Alternatively, the home country may prosecute the individual.

Alternatively, they may be joined as clusters to form क ् नय knaya, कन ् य kanya, or क ् न ् य knya.
