Another example is his very infrequent use of the large amount of data from surveys designed to discover what and how people actually do feel and think on a broad range of topics: he cites such survey-type findings just three times.

For example, he cites the following data from two studies on job satisfaction: in the first study, 85 per cent of professionals and executives, 64 per cent of white collar people, and 41 per cent of factory workers expressed satisfaction with their jobs ; ;

Thus, in the example cited above Fromm rests his whole case on the premise that the workers are being deprived unconsciously, unknowingly, of fulfillment, and then supports this with survey data reporting conscious, experienced frustrations.

W. E. Ford, for example, continued to supply data on the occurrence of minerals until his death in 1939.

This is an example of data

It is often useful to be able to compute the variance in a single pass, inspecting each value only once ; for example, when the data are being collected without enough storage to keep all the values, or when costs of memory access dominate those of computation.

Exile ( 1988 video game ) | Exile is an example of a game where the developers left non-graphical data visible in the display buffer to gain additional memory space.

Wave files can also contain data encoded with a variety of ( lossy ) codecs to reduce the file size ( for example the GSM or MP3 formats ).

For example, an abstract stack data structure could be defined by three operations:, that inserts some data item onto the structure,, that extracts an item from it ( with the constraint that each pop always returns the most recently pushed item that has not been popped yet ), and, that allows data on top of the structure to be examined without removal.

For example a target acquisition element can send a message with target details which is automatically routed through the tactical and technical fire control elements to deliver firing data to the gun's laying system and the gun automatically laid.

An abstraction can be seen as a process of mapping multiple different pieces of constituent data to a single piece of abstract data based on similarities in the constituent data, for example many different physical cats map to the abstraction " CAT ".

Without such precautions, most programs may compile only on a certain platform or with a particular compiler, due, for example, to the use of non-standard libraries, such as GUI libraries, or to the reliance on compiler-or platform-specific attributes such as the exact size of certain data types and byte endianness.

The C and C ++ programming languages, for example, define byte as an " addressable unit of data storage large enough to hold any member of the basic character set of the execution environment " ( clause 3. 6 of the C standard ).

* Analysis of genomics data, for example from microarray or proteomics experiments.

For example, a 500 gigabyte hard drive holds bytes, and a 100 megabit per second Ethernet connection transfers data at bit / s.

For example, in one document, Seagate specifies data transfer rates of some of its hard drives in both IEC and decimal units.

In the following example, a program has defined two data items which are adjacent in memory: an 8-byte-long string buffer, A, and a two-byte integer, B.

The great utility in creating CPUs that deal with vectors of data lies in optimizing tasks that tend to require the same operation ( for example, a sum or a dot product ) to be performed on a large set of data.

The use of data coding for data compression predates the computer era ; an early example is the telegraph Morse code where more-frequently used characters have shorter representations.

Another example is using naturally present bacteria by the mining industry in bioleaching.

For example, industrial farming could not have been invented before simple farming, and metallurgy could not have developed without previous non-smelting processes involving metals ( such as simple ground collection or mining ).

poaching threatens wildlife populations ( for example, the Painted Hunting Dog, Lycaon pictus is now considered extinct in the Congo due to human overpopulation and poaching ); water pollution ; deforestation ( chiefly due to land conversion to agriculture by indigenous farmers ); refugees responsible for significant deforestation, soil erosion, and wildlife poaching ; mining of minerals ( coltan — a mineral used in creating capacitors, diamonds, and gold ) causing environmental damage

Child labour can be factory work, mining or quarrying, agriculture, helping in the parents ' business, having one's own small business ( for example selling food ), or doing odd jobs.

Surface mining is much more common, and produces, for example, 85 % of minerals ( excluding petroleum and natural gas ) in the United States, including 98 % of metallic ores.

For example, 99 tons of waste are generated per ton of copper, with even higher ratios in gold mining.

In 2000 it was estimated that 3, 500 tailings impoundments existed, and that every year, 2 to 5 major failures and 35 minor failures occurred ; for example, in the Marcopper mining disaster at least 2 million tons of tailings were released into a local river.

Lotus introduced what is likely the most successful example, Lotus Improv, which saw some commercial success, notably in the financial world where its powerful data mining capabilities remain well respected to this day.

For example, the data mining step might identify multiple groups in the data, which can then be used to obtain more accurate prediction results by a decision support system.

For example, a data mining algorithm trying to distinguish " spam " from " legitimate " emails would be trained on a training set of sample e-mails.

There have been some efforts to define standards for the data mining process, for example the 1999 European Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining ( CRISP-DM 1. 0 ) and the 2004 Java Data Mining standard ( JDM 1. 0 ).

Another example of data mining, often called the market basket analysis, relates to its use in retail sales.

Another example of data mining in science and engineering is found in educational research, where data mining has been used to study the factors leading students to choose to engage in behaviors which reduce their learning ,< ref >

For example, whereas one of the benefits of the gold standard is that the intrinsic limitations to the growth of the money supply by the use of gold or silver would prevent inflation, if the growth of population or increase in trade outpaces the money supply, there would be no way to counteract deflation and reduced liquidity ( and any attendant recession ) except for the mining of more gold or silver under a gold or silver standard.

Human-powered land vehicles, such as the handcar ( a human-powered railroad car ), normally travel at ground level but can also travel above ( for example, on a trestle ) and below ground ( such as when used in mining ).

It also did poorly in industrial or poorer urban areas ; for example it won only 9. 33 % in the Pas-de-Calais, a department formerly dominated by coal mining, in 2009.

Three bounty killers are dispatched by the mining company to make an example of McCabe but he refuses to abandon the town.

For example, mining work — which is dangerous and uncomfortable — would be more highly paid than office work for the same amount of time, thus allowing the miner to work fewer hours for the same pay, and the burden of highly dangerous and strenuous jobs to be shared among the populace.

# It represents a form of placer mining practiced in Georgia, for example.

A recent example is the Sunday thanksgiving mass at Campamento Esperanza ( English: Camp Hope ), Chile, where services were led by both a Roman Catholic priest and by an Evangelical preacher during the Chilean 2010 Copiapó mining accident.

Coltan mining has been cited as helping to finance serious conflict, for example in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In Sorge's The Beggar, ( Der Bettler ), for example, the young hero's mentally ill father raves about the prospect of mining the riches of Mars and is finally poisoned by his son.

Clarkdale was built to be one of the most modern mining towns in the world, including telephone, telegraph, electrical, sewer and spring water services, and was an early example of a planned community.
