GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:a menos de
English translation:not considering

Science - Mathematics & Statistics
Portuguese term or phrase: a menos de
O documento é um relatório de pesquisa relacionada a veículos (teste de emissões) e as frases em que a expressão aparecem são as seguintes:

"(...) mostra-se como uma boa proxy da RPM, pois são proporcionais a menos de interferências da variação de eficiência volumétrica e do turbo."

"(...) um novo parâmetro calculado a partir da potência indicadae da velocidade, a menos da eficiência da transmissão."

Me parece que, no contexto, "a menos de" é um jargão utilizado em pesquisas, estatística ou cálculos matemáticos. Caso contrário, será um erro de português? O que parece aos colegas?

Obrigada!

disagree  Richard Purdom: This guess does not fit the context. References from unchecked translations are useless, for example your link includes 'We had been married less than a year... and discovered she had an affair', which is a grammar nightmare.

Asker: Obrigada pela ajuda, Hilton. No contexto, "not considering" ou "excluding" (esta sugerida pelo Mark) me parecem ser a intenção do texto.

excluding


Explanation:
Acho evidente dos exemplos citados pela Carla e do exemplo seguinte, que a menos de tem o sentido de excluir de consideração.

"Nessa linha Cezare e Cunha (2012) salientam que ciclos curtos amenizam o impacto de reavaliações, uma vez que mudanças de larga escala nos valores de mercado são decorrentes de intervalos proporcionais, a menos de fenômenos atípicos."

Explanation:
Se não é um erro de português, me parece uma estrutura muito pouco utilizada nos dias de hoje. No contexto concordo com as respostas que foram postadas antes, not considering e excluing.
