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, 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, 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.

Alternatively, the Universal Translator is capable of interpreting intentions, so when a speaker intends their speech to be projected natively, the UT passes the speech through untranslated.

Alternatively, if the sorter intends to set up the meal for a later point, it is prohibited.

Alternatively the singular form of the word scripture was sometimes used to refer to the entire body of scripture and this may be the usage the author intends.

Alternatively, the connotation of the word may be thought of as the set of all its possible referents ( as opposed to merely the actual ones ).

Alternatively, one may interpret the original statement as a statement in such a formal language ; it was merely an abbreviation for the statement produced at the end.

Alternatively, if one would like to preserve the notion of eigenstates and make it rigorous, rather than merely formal, one can replace the state space by a suitable rigged Hilbert space.

Alternatively, as lenticular galaxies are likely to be more luminous than spiral galaxies, which suggests that they are not merely the faded remnants of spiral galaxies.

" Alternatively, conclusions can consist of merely 1 or 2 sentences, such as " For these reasons you must pass / fail this bill / resolution / legislation.

Alternatively, in recent years, some have begun using the term in a milder sense, merely meaning a man who is emotionally attached to his mother.

Alternatively, the " four-channel " bit could have been used merely to indicate the presence of a matrix-encoded recording.

Alternatively, a hyperboloid of two sheets of axis AB is obtained as the set of points P such that AP − BP is a constant, AP being the distance between A and P. Points A and B are then called the foci of the hyperboloid.

Alternatively, a coupé is often distinguished from a two-door sedan by the lack of a B pillar to support the roof.

: Means that if A and B are in all respect identical the consumer will consider a to be at least as good as ( is weakly preferred ) to B. Alternatively, the axiom can be modified to read that the consumer is indifferent with regard to A and B.

Alternatively, the Bridgwater and Minehead Junction Railway would link with the B & ER at Bridgwater and run through Williton to Minehead with a branch to Watchet and a connecting Minehead and Central Devon Junction Railway would provide a line to Exeter.

Alternatively, students may choose to use the LL. B.

Alternatively, variable B could be collapsed out entirely, alternately sampling from p ( A | C ) and p ( C | A ) and not sampling over B at all.

Alternatively, if person A is joking or teasing person B in a friendly way, person A may wink directly at person B as a way to suggest to him that his own ( A's ) words are to be taken as a joke.

Alternatively, if a person's evaluative B, belief is preferential, flexible and constructive, the C, the emotional and behavioral consequence is likely to be self-helping and constructive.

Alternatively, we can assume space is a very large three sphere S < sup > 3 </ sup > or that space is a compact 3-ball B < sup > 3 </ sup > with a S < sup > 2 </ sup > boundary where the values of the fields are fixed so that the gauge transformations occur only in the interior of the ball.

Alternatively, genealogies included in the works of William of Malmesbury and John of Worcester ( Chronicon B ) make Sledd the first king of Essex and genealogies for Sigered and Swithred in Add.

Dominance may be a purely dyadic relationship, i. e. individual A is dominant over individual B, but this has no implications for whether either of these is dominant over a third individual C. Alternatively, dominance may be hierarchical, with a transitive relationship, so that if A dominates B and B dominates C, A always dominates C. This is called a linear dominance hierarchy.
