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, it is identified with the " tree of paradise " of medieval mystery plays that were given on 24 December, the commemoration and name day of Adam and Eve in various countries.

Alternatively, if positive pressures are required, standard glassware can not be used, energy must be used for pressurization and there is a higher chance of side reactions occurring in the distillation, such as decomposition, due to the higher temperatures required to effect boiling.

Alternatively, the more reflux that is provided for a given desired separation, the fewer the number of theoretical plates required.

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 entropy can be defined from a classical thermodynamics viewpoint, in which the molecular interactions are not considered and instead the system is viewed from perspective of the gross motion of very large masses of molecules and the behavior of individual molecules is averaged and obscured.

( Alternatively, Esperanto may be written with English-like digraphs in h rather than with diacritics, but this is seldom seen outside email.

Alternatively, it is possible to express an even-length real-input DFT as a complex DFT of half the length ( whose real and imaginary parts are the even / odd elements of the original real data ), followed by O ( N ) post-processing operations.

Alternatively, the liquid may flow through the filter by the force exerted by a pump, a method commonly used in industry when a reduced filtration time is important.

Alternatively, in Fenichel's words, " the superego is reprojected onto external objects for the purpose of getting rid of guilt feelings ... using external objects as " witnesses " in the fight against the superego.

Alternatively, additional information is necessary to complete the find, such as a padlock combination to access the cache.

Alternatively, the word " gematria " is generally held to derive from Greek geōmetriā, " geometry ", which was used as a translation of gēmaṭriyā, though some scholars believe it to derive from Greek grammateia, rather ; it's possible that both words had an influence on the formation of the Hebrew word.

Alternatively, it may refer only to what is common to the grammars of all, or of the vast majority of English speakers ( such as subject – verb – object word order in simple declarative sentences ).

* Elevation is the angular height of an object above the horizon, Alternatively zenith distance, being equal to 90 degrees minus elevation.

Alternatively, if characters ' attribute ranks are close, the weaker character can try to change the relevant attribute by changing the nature of the conflict.

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

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

Alternatively, 5 ml from a neutron star of radius 20 km radius ( average density ) has a mass of about 400 million metric tons, or about the mass of all humans .</ ref > The resulting force of gravity is so strong that if an object were to fall from a height of one meter it would only take one microsecond to hit the surface of the neutron star, and would do so at around 2000 kilometers per second, or 7. 2 million kilometers per hour.

Alternatively, if the two waves of the same wavelength and frequency are out of phase, then the wave crests will align with wave troughs and vice-versa.

Alternatively, if the last step is carried out in air:

( Alternatively, for a preorder "", a relation "<" can be defined as a < b if and only if ( a b and a ≠ b ).

Alternatively, if several different minerals can be dated from the same sample and are assumed to be formed by the same event and were in equilibrium with the reservoir when they formed, they should form an isochron.

Alternatively, if M is a linear subspace then ; apply this inequality to the subspace defined by the ( orthogonal ) complement of the image of BC in the image of B, whose dimension is ; its image under A has dimension

Alternatively, if the excited-state atom is perturbed by an electric field of frequency, it may emit an additional photon of the same frequency and in phase, thus augmenting the external field, leaving the atom in the lower energy state.

Alternatively, since expendable multistage rockets entail discarding costly structure and engines, if the stages could be reused, this could permit much cheaper operation since the parts costs would be amortized over many flights.

Alternatively, if a predatory ancestor already flying and therefore with long forelimbs, used them to capture prey, it could be pulled on to a predatory foot claw, later inherited and demonstrated by the fighting Velociraptor.

Alternatively, if,, and are known, but is not adjustable, the voltage difference across or current flow through the meter can be used to calculate the value of, using Kirchhoff's circuit laws ( also known as Kirchhoff's rules ).

Alternatively, if we want to have reasonable discussion we may be practically forced to accept Occam's razor in the same way we are simply forced to accept the laws of thought and inductive reasoning ( given the problem of induction ).

Alternatively, if the magma is erupted it forms volcanic rocks such as basalt, andesite and rhyolite ( the extrusive equivalents of gabbro, diorite and granite, respectively ).

Alternatively, if a strip with an even number of half-twists is cut in half along its length, it will result in two linked strips, each with the same number of twists as the original.

Alternatively, if the data matches the machine address, the data is accepted.

Alternatively, some agree that negative rights may be violated by a government action, but argue that it is justifiable if the positive rights protected outweigh the negative rights lost.

Alternatively, if is discrete, one can construct as the set of all ultrafilters on, with a topology known as Stone topology.
