Patients with classic symptoms of expressive aphasia in general have more acute brain lesions, whereas patients with larger, widespread lesions exhibit a variety of symptoms that may be classified as global aphasia or left unclassified.

In general, the surrounding graph must be systematically recolored to turn the ring's coloring into a good one, as was done in the case above where there were 4 neighbors ; for a general configuration with a larger ring, this requires more complex techniques.

The general idea is to start with a base field and construct in some manner a larger field which contains the base field and satisfies additional properties.

In general per carat prices of larger stones are higher than those of smaller stones, but popularity of certain sizes of stone can affect prices.

In general terms, the larger the difference in temperature between the hot source and the cold sink, the larger is the potential thermal efficiency of the cycle.

For larger volumes of fluids, such as annual consumption of tap water, lorry ( truck ) tanks, or swimming pools, the cubic metre is the general unit.

A larger amount was given to the major industrial powers, as the prevailing opinion was that their resuscitation was essential for general European revival.

For larger battles, pre-battle planning typically consisted of a council of the war leaders, which could either be the general laying down a plan or a noisy debate between the different leaders, depending on how much authority the general possessed.

However, when decimal representation is used for the rational or real numbers, such numbers in general have an infinite number of representations, for example 2. 31 can also be written as 2. 310, 2. 3100000, 2. 309999999 …, etc., all of which have the same meaning except for some scientific and other contexts where greater precision is implied by a larger number of figures shown.

For Cicero, natural law obliges us to contribute to the general good of the larger society.

The thickness of the ozone layer — that is, the total amount of ozone in a column overhead — varies by a large factor worldwide, being in general smaller near the equator and larger towards the poles.

The ensemble enters in a long adagio passage that is of fantastic difficulty, as well as loveliness, and adagio is the general medium of the piece.

Band is a general term for an instrumental ensemble.

Perhaps it is best known to the general public for its highly accurate ensemble of atomic clocks and its year 2000 Timeball replacement.

The choice of this measure is dictated by the specific details of the system and the assumptions one makes about the ensemble in general.

Thus a quantum mechanical ensemble is specified by a mixed state in general.

Thus, the general notion of a statistical ensemble with nearest-neighbor interactions leads to Markov random fields, which again find broad applicability ; for example in Hopfield networks.

In Popular Cuban Music, Emilio Grenet defines in general terms, how the duple-pulse clave pattern guides all members of the music ensemble.

The general equipartition theorem holds in both the microcanonical ensemble, when the total energy of the system is constant, and also in the canonical ensemble, when the system is coupled to a heat bath with which it can exchange energy.

Spring Sing also typically features two hosts, two hostesses, and a general song and choreograph ensemble, with these roles chosen by audition.

Scratch bands, also known as fungi bands and formerly string bands, are a distinctive form of folk ensemble ; they have survived the decline of other Virgin Islander folk traditions, through adapting to newly imported instrumentation and songs, and becoming a part of a more general revival of interest in folk culture on the islands.

About 40 % of the island's schools engage in general music education, while others spent more time on general group singing or choir, or recorder ensemble performance.

The microcanonical ensemble is a specific instance of a more general construct, the statistical ensemble, a theoretical tool used to analyze equilibrium systems given by specified macroscopic variables.

However, while only the submanifold is of interest for the microcanonical ensemble, in other, more general ensembles, it is necessary to consider the full phase space.

When viewed in a more general setting, the canonical ensemble is known as the Gibbs measure, where, because it has the Markov property of statistical independence, it occurs in many settings outside of the field of physics.

A quantum mechanical ensemble in general is described by a density matrix.

The project grew beyond its original definition to include a front-end general purpose processor ensemble based on the multiple 68020 processors running Unix System V. The numeric processor ran a small kernel that would allow it to receive job submissions from the Unix system.

In this way, thermodynamical properties such as the specific heat, which is in general not well computed in the canonical ensemble, can be computed with great precision.

When ensemble spread is small and the forecast solutions are consistent within multiple model runs, forecasters perceive more confidence in the ensemble mean, and the forecast in general.

The lay-out provided for the main features of the town-planning ensemble – the length of the buildings facades, their silhouettes, the main divisions, and the general architectural pattern.

The ensemble rules of averaging need to be employed, keeping in mind that the average of products of fluctuating quantities will not in general vanish.
