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 " intends merely to frighten " B ", and that same shot intentionally misses " B " but accidentally kills " C ", " A " may be guilty of assaulting " B " ( among other things ), but not attempted murder, unless " A " intended that such fright would kill " B ".

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.

Alternatively, basic beliefs may be justified by some special property of the belief itself, such as its being self-evident or infallible.

Alternatively, in common understanding, three teachings harmonious as one simply reflects the long history, mutual influence, and ( at times ) complementary teachings of the three belief systems, with little relationship to Lin Zhaoen's sect.

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, 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, 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.
