While imprecise language is not desirable in various scientific fields, it may be helpful, illustrative or discussion-stimulative in other contexts.

While the term two-party system is somewhat imprecise and has been used in different countries to mean different things, there is considerable agreement that a system is considered to be of a two-party nature when election results show consistently that all or nearly all elected officials belong to only one of the two major parties, such as in the United States.

While rather small in comparison to chemical thrusters, the radiation pressure force is inexorable and requires no fuel mass.

While modelling atoms in isolation may not seem realistic, if one considers molecules in a gas or plasma then the time-scales for molecule-molecule interactions are huge in comparison to the atomic and molecular processes that we are concerned with.

While resolution can be estimated in pixels per unit area, the comparison is complex since most types of digital sensor record only a single colour at each pixel location, and different types of film have different effective resolutions.

While initially derided for poor performance in comparison to the more sophisticated graphics devices used in computers like the Atari 400, framebuffers eventually became the standard for all personal computers.

While the painterly handling of the works inspired comparison to Impressionism, and the emotional tone suggested a narrative more akin to genre painting, specifically Degas's Interior, the documentary realism of the Camden Town paintings was without precedent in British art.

While it has some older homes and farms, most of the town is young in comparison.

While the album gained positive critical notices, sales were low in comparison with her previous releases.

While no direct comparison exists, all statins appear equally effective regardless of potency or degree of cholesterol reduction.

While thoroughly aware he was inviting comparison with Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 ( both use a chorus as the centerpiece of a much longer final movement, which begins with references to the earlier movements ), Mahler knew he wanted a vocal final movement.

While a comparison of his expositions of the Pauline and Johannine Christologies with the earlier Unitarian exegesis in which he had been trained shows how wide is the interval, the work does not represent a mifid that had throughout its history lived and worked in the delicate and judicial investigations he here tried to conduct.

While often compared to Proust, others find the comparison " obvious, although superficial.

While Philipp Vandenberg describes the coup as " adventurous and beyond comparison ", Time magazine lists it among the " Top 10 Plundered Artifacts ".

The first study found a roughly linear relationship between length of membership and abstinence with reduced anxiety and increase self-esteem While the NA sample had higher anxiety than the non-addicted comparison groups, these levels were equivalent for those with three or more years membership, which is consistent with the hypothesis that NA membership reduces anxiety as well as substance use.

While these dipole near-field intensities may be very powerful near the source, they decay very rapidly with distance in comparison to EM radiation ( the far-field ).

While one-third of alternative treatments have some published literature supporting their use, research on alternative medicine is frequently of low quality and methodologically flawed, which might cause these results to be exaggerated.

While seemingly giving the students individualized results, he instead gave each student exactly the same sheet that discussed their personality.

While the atypical ( second-generation ) antipsychotics were marketed as offering greater efficacy in reducing psychotic symptoms while reducing side effects ( and Extrapyramidal symptoms in particular ) than typical medications, the results showing these effects often lacked robustness, and the assumption was increasingly challenged even as atypical prescriptions were soaring.

While its results normally complement the information obtained by chemical experiments, it can in some cases predict hitherto unobserved chemical phenomena.

While the reliability of this mechanism has not yet been studied for all relevant crop species, recent results in tobacco plants are promising, showing a failed containment rate of transplastomic plants at 3 in 1, 000, 000.

While some experts point to statistics in support of the idea that a lack of adoption of research findings results in suboptimal treatment for many patients, others emphasize the importance of the skill of the practitioner and the customization of the treatment to fit individual needs.

While wideband FM uses more bandwidth, it can improve the signal-to-noise ratio significantly ; for example, doubling the value of, while keeping constant, results in an eight-fold improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio.

While Bongo's major opponents rejected the outcome as fraudulent, some international observers characterized the results as representative despite any perceived irregularities.

While teaching ( 1589 – 92 ) at the University of Pisa, he initiated his experiments concerning the laws of bodies in motion, which brought results so contradictory to the accepted teachings of Aristotle that strong antagonism was aroused.

While comparatively few studies of this type have been performed, results from these suggest that some of the most readily isolated and studied genera may not in fact be significant in the in-situ community.

While Cade's results appeared highly promising, side-effects of lithium in some cases lead to non-compliance.

While some individuals might deliberately use a biased sample to produce misleading results, more often, a biased sample is just a reflection of the difficulty in obtaining a truly representative sample.

While the first-order experiments could be explained by a modified stationary aether, more precise second-order experiments were expected to give positive results, however, no such results could be found.

While these results originally seemed too simple or too technical to warrant independent interest, they have turned out to be central to the theories in which they occur.

While most mammals have a very similar physiology, LD < sub > 50 </ sub > results may or may not be directly relevant to humans.

While there have been some encouraging results in mice ( via stem cell transplantation ), it is still unknown whether this technique can be effective in replacing myelin loss in humans.

While conventional chemistry uses inexact processes obtaining inexact results, and biology exploits inexact processes to obtain definitive results, molecular nanotechnology would employ original definitive processes to obtain definitive results.

While there are sensory advantages present at the macroscale compared to the limited sensorium available at the nanoscale, proposals for positionally controlled nanoscale mechanosynthetic fabrication systems employ dead reckoning of tooltips combined with reliable reaction sequence design to ensure reliable results, hence a limited sensorium is no handicap ; similar considerations apply to the positional assembly of small nanoparts.

While these results demonstrate that the poor performance of systems based on first-generation microkernels is not representative for second-generation kernels such as L4, this constitutes no proof that microkernel-based systems can be built with good performance.

While Diophantus is concerned largely with rational solutions, he assumes some results on integer numbers ; in particular, he seems to assume that every integer is the sum of four squares, though he never states as much explicitly.

While the results overall have been impressive, many large state-owned industrial enterprises, particularly the railroad, mining, steel, and defense sectors, have remained resistant to change and the downsizing required to survive in a market-based economy.

While these theories were successful in explaining many experimental results, they had certain unsatisfactory qualities stemming from their neglect of the relativistic creation and annihilation of particles.
