Alternatively, people who are aware that a couple has different surnames may not realize that they are married.

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, a slightly different drink is claimed to have been invented in the 1920s during Prohibition, by an " Old Man Bishop " in a local community named Long Island in Kingsport, Tennessee ..

Alternatively, the development of " T " budding now permits the grafting of a different grape variety onto existing rootstock in the vineyard, making it possible to switch varieties within a two year period.

Alternatively we can say they occupy different, lower-dimensional subspaces in the phase space of the joint system.

Alternatively, a cameo can be carved by the traditional, but far more difficult, method directly out of a material with integral layers or banding, such as ( banded ) agate or layered glass, where different layers have different colours.

Alternatively, various groups within the larger group may be dancing different, but complementary, parts of the larger dance.

Alternatively, some authors ( e. g. Conover ) suggest transforming the data to ranks ( if they are not already ranks ) and then performing the t test on the transformed data, the version of the t test used depending on whether or not the population variances are suspected to be different.

Alternatively it has a different involvement when judging the familiarity as it decides whether the processing of perceptual features would be more useful.

Alternatively, in the default install, new X sessions can be started at will by using different display parameters to have them run in different virtual terminals ( e. g. "" or "").

Alternatively, the bird was considered a hybrid, but the present state of knowledge of the Dickcissel's relations makes this not very plausible-there are a number of species with which Spiza could conceivably produce hybrids-such as Passerella -, but the lack of even the slightest hint of blue structural colors in Townsend's specimen and it moreover being not different from a Dickcissel in habitus makes the hybrid theory suspect.

'" Alternatively, as Leibniz puts it, divine command theorists " deprive God of the designation good: for what cause could one have to praise him for what he does, if in doing something quite different he would have done equally well?
