* * *= eligible, feasible, manageable, possible, potential, prospective, viable, would-be + Nombre, conceivable, plausible, candidate, realisable [realizable, -USA], satisfiable, doable, likely.Ex: And yet, everyone knows that historically only a very small portion of the eligible users have ever crossed the threshold of a public library.
Ex: Other words which might be feasible access points in a general index prove worthless in an index devoted to a special subject area.Ex: In simple terms, the essence of subject organisation is the division of literature (or references to literature) into manageable, or scannable categories, with each category being associated with an index term.Ex: Various modes of operation are possible for such a journal, and the precise operation will depend upon the type of information being conveyed.Ex: The system permits the requester to specify up to five potential lending libraries, and the system transmits the requests to these libraries one at a time.Ex: The advocacy of title entry for serials implies an ideology which focuses on the publication as the principal object of interest of the prospective library user rather than the work conveyed by the book or publication.Ex: With printed thesauri there are limits on space, if the publication is to be economically viable, and easy to handle.Ex: The only viable alternatives open to would-be users are to produce or commission the production of custom-made application programs.Ex: This article emphasises the importance of a preservation plan that includes ways of dealing with every conceivable type of disaster a library might experience.Ex: This incompleteness of search and retrieval therefore makes possible, and plausible, the existence of undiscovered public knowledge.Ex: A thesaurus developed with such a module can support the addition of candidate terms to the thesaurus during the indexing process.Ex: Barbara Tillett's vision of one seamless bibliographic system, either real or virtual, looks realizable over a 5 to 10 year horizon.Ex: The result is a pair of overlapping sets of sufficient conditions for autonomy that are argued to be satisfiable by real human agents.Ex: This has opened up issues of what is & is not thinkable &, therefore, doable in the present conjuncture of crisis & instability.Ex: The most likely causes of brain damage among low birthweight infants are prematurity and infections, not oxygen starvation.* al mejor precio posible = at the best possible price.* arreglárselas lo mejor posible = make + the best of things.* arreglarse lo mejor posible = look + Posesivo + best.* a ser posible = if possible.* candidato posible = eligible party.* considerar como posible = entertain as + a possibility.* cuando antes + Pronombre + sea posible = at + Posesivo + earliest convenience.* de la mejor forma posible = to the best of + Posesivo + ability.* de la mejor manera posible = to the best of + Posesivo + ability.* del mejor modo posible = to the best of + Posesivo + ability.* dentro de lo posible = as far as possible.* durante tanto tiempo como sea posible = for as long as possible.* en las mejores condiciones posibles = in the best possible conditions.* hacer Algo posible = make + provision for.* hacer posible = provide for, make + possible, provide + a basis for, make + an opportunity.* hacer posible el crecimiento = accommodate + growth.* hacer todo lo posible = do + Posesivo + best, pull out + all the stops, do + the best + Nombre + may, do + the best + Nombre + can, try + hard, try + Posesivo + best, try + Posesivo + heart out, work + hard, give + Posesivo + best.* hacer todo lo posible (dado) = do + the best possible (with).* hacer todo lo posible para = every effort + be + made to.* hacer todo lo posible por = go to + any lengths to, go to + great lengths to, endeavour [endeavor, -USA], take + (great) pains to.* hasta donde es posible = as far as possible.* hasta donde sea posible = as far as possible.* lo mejor posible = to the best of + Posesivo + ability, at + Posesivo + (very) best, optimally.* lo menos posible = as little as possible.* posible comprador = suitor.* posible de ser consultado por máquina = machine-viewable.* posible de ser visto en pantalla = displayable.* sacar el mejor partido posible = get + the best of both worlds, get + the best of all worlds.* ser posible la coexistencia entre... = there + be + room for both....* ser posible (que) = be likely (to).* siempre que + ser + posible = whenever possible, when possible.* si eso no es posible = failing that/these.* si es posible = if possible.* si + ser + posible = when possible, whenever possible.* tan pronto como + Pronombre + sea posible = at + Posesivo + earliest convenience.* tan pronto como sea posible = as soon as possible (asap).* tanto como sea posible = as far as possible.* tener el mejor aspecto posible = look + Posesivo + best.* tener solución posible = be soluble.* todo es posible = all bets are off, the sky is the limit.* * *possible¿crees que se lo darán?
