Consequently, opus numbers are not usually in chronological order, unpublished compositions usually had no opus number, and numeration gaps and sequential duplications occurred when publishers issued contemporaneous editions of a composer ’ s works, as in the sets of string quartets by Joseph Haydn ( 1732 – 1809 ) and Ludwig van Beethoven ( 1770 – 1827 ); Haydn's Op.

The sequential numbering of his symphonies has also been confused: ( a ) they were initially numbered by order of publication, not composition ; ( b ) the first four symphonies to be composed were published after the last five ; and ( c ) the last five symphonies were not published in order of composition.

Another early concept of Messina's which had to be rejected was the idea of shooting the eight sequential history plays ( Richard II, 1 Henry IV, 2 Henry IV, Henry V, 1 Henry VI, 2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI and Richard III ) in chronological order of the events they depict, with linked casting and the same director for all eight adaptations ( David Giles ).

An order of precedence is a sequential hierarchy of nominal importance of items.

Compared to controls, after one month of daily treatment with 1600 – 2400 mg of piracetam there were meaningful and statistically significant improvements in the higher mental functions ( visual memory, attention and executive ), motor functions ( gait, balance and sequential limb movements ) and in the rates of cognitive and motor operations.

With the exception of the brainstem gliomas, glioblastoma has the worst prognosis of any central nervous system ( CNS ) malignancy, despite multimodality treatment consisting of open craniotomy with surgical resection of as much of the tumor as possible, followed by concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy, antiangiogenic therapy with bevacizumab, gamma knife radiosurgery, and symptomatic management with corticosteroids.

* Planning: creating a sequential treatment plan for the patient.

This formulation should include a thorough functional assessment, a skills assessment, a sequential analysis ( behavior chain analysis ), an ecological assessment, a look at existing evidenced-based behavioral models for the problem behavior ( such as Fordyce's model of chronic pain ) and then a treatment plan based on how environmental factors influence behavior.

This would be a sequential step towards a clinically successful gene therapy and the treatment of numerous diseases like inherited disorders or cancers.

Experimentation is often sequential.

An assembly line is a manufacturing process ( most of the time called a progressive assembly ) in which parts ( usually interchangeable parts ) are added to a product in a sequential manner to create a finished product much faster than with handcrafting-type methods.

The speedup of a program using multiple processors in parallel computing is limited by the sequential fraction of the program.

The speedup of a program using multiple processors in parallel computing is limited by the time needed for the sequential fraction of the program.

We are given a sequential task which is split into four consecutive parts: P1, P2, P3 and P4 with the percentages of runtime being 11 %, 18 %, 23 % and 48 % respectively.

P1 / S1 + P2 / S2 + P3 / S3 + P4 / S4, we find the new sequential running time is:

The maximum speedup in an improved sequential program, where some part was sped up times is limited by inequality

As a pathway is more or less sequential in nature, it is a victim of causality ; removing or modifying one component leads to an effect in another.

In computer science, a B-tree is a tree data structure that keeps data sorted and allows searches, sequential access, insertions, and deletions in logarithmic time.

The codex holds considerable practical advantages over other book formats, such as compactness, sturdiness, ease of reference ( a codex is random access, as opposed to a scroll, which is sequential access ), and especially economy of materials ; unlike the scroll, both recto and verso could be used for writing.

The version just described is known as sequential compactness.

The Bolzano – Weierstrass theorem gives an equivalent condition for sequential compactness when considering subsets of Euclidean space: a set then is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded.

Record access is done by navigating through the data structure using pointers combined with sequential accessing.

Access to records is either sequential ( usually in each record type ) or by navigation in the circular linked lists.

The use of a sequence of experiments, where the design of each may depend on the results of previous experiments, including the possible decision to stop experimenting, is within the scope of Sequential analysis, a field that was pioneered by Abraham Wald in the context of sequential tests of statistical hypotheses.

One specific type of sequential design is the " two-armed bandit ", generalized to the multi-armed bandit, on which early work was done by Herbert Robbins in 1952.
