Alternatively, dualism can mean the tendency of humans to perceive and understand the world as being divided into two overarching categories.

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, 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, and especially in connection with the relational model of database management, the relation between attributes drawn from a specified set of domains can be seen as being primary.

Alternatively, the method can be used to value the company based on the value of total invested capital.

Alternatively, they can be fitted with tom heads and tuned as shallow concert toms.

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

Alternatively, the image can be photographically recorded by exposing a photographic film or plate directly to the electron beam, or a high-resolution phosphor may be coupled by means of a lens optical system or a fibre optic light-guide to the sensor of a CCD ( charge-coupled device ) camera.

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, for an orientable surface the formula can be given in terms of the genus of a surface, g:

Alternatively, gdbserver can be used to remotely debug the program without needing to change it in any way.

Alternatively, they can be termed when they are designed for combat as opposed to iaitō training swords.

Alternatively, microscopes can be classed on whether they analyse the sample via a scanning point ( confocal optical microscopes, scanning electron microscopes and scanning probe microscopes ) or analyse the sample all at once ( wide field optical microscope and transmission electron microscopes ).

Alternatively, it can be thought of as maximizing the minimum gain ( maximin ).

Alternatively, the vendor should re-evaluate the product to include application of patches to fix the security vulnerabilities within the evaluated configuration.

Alternatively, a play might be about the production of a play, and include the performance of all or part of the play, as in Noises Off, A Chorus of Disapproval, Les feluettes or The Producers.

Alternatively there is an emerging class of software which can localize an application without altering the underlying code in any way Modern development systems and operating systems include sophisticated libraries for international support of these types.

Alternatively, the Anatinae are considered to include most " ducks " and the dabbling ducks form a tribe Anatini within these.

Alternatively, and perhaps more positively, it might include a structured list of the major options chosen.

Alternatively, the lens adapters would include optical elements and act as weak teleconverters, as well as possibly losing optical quality.

Alternatively game engine pipelines may include custom lightmap creation tools.

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, imaginary roots are obfuscated in the following:

Alternatively, terra incognita may also refer to the imaginary continent Terra Australis.
