Alternatively, a random noise signal such as pink noise or white noise may be generated through a loudspeaker, and then turned off.

Alternatively, the rail can be supported along its length by an elastic material ; when combined with a smaller rail section, this can provide a significant noise reduction over traditional ballasted track.

Alternatively, white noise of a sufficient volume ( which may be simpler to generate for playback ) will also mask the acoustic emanations of individual keypresses.

Alternatively, OSC1 can produce a vox wave ( for simulating human vocal cords ), white noise, and one of 64 different digital waveforms that were created by harmonic additive synthesis.

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, domino sets have been made from many different natural materials: stone ( e. g., marble, granite or soapstone ); other hardwoods ( e. g., ash, oak, redwood and cedar ); metals ( e. g., brass or pewter ); ceramic clay, or even frosted glass or crystal.

Alternatively, two figures are congruent if one can be moved on top of the other so that it matches up with it exactly.

( Alternatively, apparent cognates in Eurasian language families far removed from each other could also be early loanwords, compare Wanderwort.

Alternatively, functioning may be affected by the stress of having to hide a condition in work or school etc., by adverse effects of medications or other substances, or by mismatches between illness-related variations and demands for regularity.

Alternatively, the transistor can be used to turn current on or off in a circuit as an electrically controlled switch, where the amount of current is determined by other circuit elements.

Alternatively, the setter moves into the right front and has both a middle and an outside attacker ; the disadvantage here lies in the lack of an offside hitter, allowing one of the other team's blockers to " cheat in " on a middle block.

Alternatively, a synthesizer can incorporate a model of the vocal tract and other human voice characteristics to create a completely " synthetic " voice output.

Alternatively, larval endoparasites may shed free-living transmission stages that migrate through the host ’ s tissue into the external environment, where they actively search for or await ingestion by other hosts.

Alternatively, the program can be written to avoid the use of synchronous I / O or other blocking system calls.

Alternatively, grafts may be from other persons, cadavers, or animals.

Alternatively, other authors hold that leaf kites existed far before that time in what is now Indonesia, based on their interpretation of cave paintings on Muna Island off Sulawesi.

Alternatively, potentially insolvent banks with toxic assets will seek out very risky speculative loans to shift risk onto their depositors and other creditors.

Alternatively, an integer sequence may be defined by a property which members of the sequence possess and other integers do not possess.

Alternatively, we may postulate extinction of all other descendants of a mitochondrion-free ancestral eukaryote, perhaps due to competition from the symbiotic clade, or oxygen poisoning as levels continued to rise.

Alternatively it has been proposed to abolish the roles of the Governor-General and the monarchy and have their functions exercised by other constitutional officers such as the Speaker.

Alternatively, other kinds of stereoscopic pairs can be employed using the digital image correlation method, where two optical images acquired with different angles taken from the same pass of an airplane or an Earth Observation Satellite ( such as the HRS instrument of SPOT5 or the VNIR band of ASTER ).

Alternatively, we can say that one of the variables is proportional to the other.

Alternatively, only a slightly inset floor topped by a fibrous mesh and concrete building composite floor cladding is used for smaller high quality tile floors — these ' concrete ' subfloors have a good thermal match with ceramic tiles and so are popular with builders constructing kitchen, laundry and especially both common and high end bathrooms and any other room where large expanses of well supported ceramic tile will be used as a finished floor.

Alternatively, psychiatrist R. D. Laing held that psychedelic crises and other such extreme experiences, drug-induced or not, were not necessarily artificial terrors to be suppressed but rather signs of internal conflict and opportunities for self-healing.

Alternatively, existing members may nominate other candidates.

Alternatively, other types of buffers exist that implement current amplifiers, or keep track of the state ( i. e. which side drove the bus low ) to prevent latch-up.

Alternatively, when one board finishes, play can continue on the other board.

Alternatively, the right-hand side expression can be justified by multiplying the power series on the left by 1 − x, and checking that the result is the constant power series 1, in other words that all coefficients except the one of x < sup > 0 </ sup > vanish.

Alternatively, the new economic order will incorporate all of the above plus other attributes that have not yet fully emerged.

" The Hebrew word בתחבולות translates into English as, " Ploys, Tricks, Trickery, Subterfuges, or Stratagems " ( Source: Google Translate ) Alternatively, translations of בתחבולות into English in Proverbs 24: 6 in Christian Bibles substitute a different meaning from the original Hewbrew.

Alternatively, users should take great care to inspect files ( e. g., text, images, sound files, ...) to ensure they contain no identifying information.

Alternatively, although fewer opinions are satisfied, some communities sound a single series of Tashrat-Tashat-Tarat without trebling.

Alternatively, a similar effect can be accomplished using synthesis-modelling of the ASDR envelope or digital modelling ( e. g., for the hard strike, the keyboard would add the timbres associated with a hard strike — in the case of a Fender Rhodes voice, this would be a biting, " bark " sound.

Alternatively, the transducer emitting the cancellation signal may be located at the location where sound attenuation is wanted ( e. g. the user's ear ).

Alternatively the simple changing of the pronunciation of a word can be used to make it sound vulgar e. g. innuendo to " in-your-endo ".

Alternatively the HD Radio signal can revert to a more-robust 20 kilobit per second stream, though the sound is reduced to AM-like quality.

Alternatively, a high rate can be used for bizarre ' rippling ' sound effects ( indeed, another important use of LFO would be for various sound effects used in films ).

Alternatively, Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class ( OITC ) is a standard used for indicating the rate of transmission of sound between outdoor and indoor spaces in a structure that considers frequencies down to 80 Hz ( Aircraft / Rail / Truck traffic ) and is weighted more to lower frequencies.

Alternatively, each channel can be individually switched to " Direct D / A " mode in which the programmer can send data directly to the sound mixer, allowing more complex sound patterns to be generated, such as speech.

Alternatively, in some games the sound test is available from the beginning, and expands as the player encounters new sounds or music during normal gameplay.
