Feeding occurs in fits and starts of movement and at relatively discrete locations, with an average distance of 7 m (22 ft.) between stops.

When solutions are calculated numerically, they are often constrained to discrete locations which constitute the computational grid, or 'mesh'.

In this example, the temperature of the earth is measured at discrete locations in a well bore by placing temperature sensors in the target depths.

A discrete location of the interface may be defined as the collection of all points where the phase field takes a certain value (e.g., 0).

Action sequences are often filmed in discrete locations, using stunt personnel rather than the principal cast, and requiring significantly different filming arrangements than for ordinary scenes.

On the other, we have a great deal of ASW arrayed to locate her, and she will be heading towards one of only a few discrete locations.

Sorting of tropomyosin isoforms in discrete intracellular locations is developmentally regulated.

It strikes me that if I wanted to hide a painting, I'd pick a more discrete location.

The layers represent discrete locations or organizational levels potentially populated with errors permitting error progression.

There was definitely something down there, and confined to one discrete location.
