For example, for about a 15 % premium in building costs, the Passivhaus building codes in Europe use high performance insulating windows, R-30 insulation, HRV ventilation, and a small thermal mass.

For these thermal effects, the frequency of the radiation is important only as it affects radiation penetration into the organism ( for example microwaves penetrate better than infrared ).

The exact choice of quiescent current, the standing current through both devices when there is no signal, makes a large difference to the level of distortion ( and to the risk of thermal runaway, that may damage the devices ); often the bias voltage applied to set this quiescent current has to be adjusted with the temperature of the output transistors ( for example in the circuit at the beginning of the article the diodes would be mounted physically close to the output transistors, and chosen to have a matched temperature coefficient ).

The concept is frequently applied in physical sciences to, for example, chemical reactions, where thermal energy ( heat ) is converted to chemical bond energy.

Mechanical properties of gelatin gels ( for example the gel strength, which is quantified using the Bloom test ) are very sensitive to temperature variations, previous thermal history of the gel, and time.

For example, the stability of bulk matter ( which consists of atoms and molecules which would quickly collapse under electric forces alone ), the rigidity of solids, and the mechanical, thermal, chemical, optical and magnetic properties of matter are all results of the interaction of electric charges under the rules of quantum mechanics.

A familiar example of thermal ionization is the flame-ionization of a common fire, and the browning ( chemical process ) reactions in common food items induced by infrared radiation, during broiling-type cooking.

Infrared or red radiation from a common household radiator or electric heater is an example of thermal radiation, as is the heat and light ( IR and visible EM waves ) emitted by a glowing incandescent light bulb.

A common example of such radiation is sunlight, which is thermal radiation from the Sun's photosphere and which contains enough ultraviolet light ( before being filtered by the Earth's atmosphere ) to cause ionization in many molecules and atoms.

Higher ratings are available, but do not run at higher temperature ; instead there is more heat available for making soldered connections to things with large thermal capacity, for example, a metal chassis.

Two other reasons are changes in the thermal properties of surface materials and lack of evapotranspiration ( for example through lack of vegetation ) in urban areas.

For example, this material has a high thermal inertia, or thermal inertia plays an important role in this system, which means that dynamic effects are prevalent in a model, so that a steady-state calculation will yield inaccurate results.

An example of a worst case scenario is a terror organization possessing a source of very highly radioactive material, e. g. a strontium-90 thermal generator, with the ability to create an incident comparable to the Chernobyl accident.

For example, if a component produces 100 W of heat, and has a thermal resistance of 0. 5 ° C / W, what is the maximum thermal resistance of the heat sink?

An example of this would be the change in thermal conductivity that occurs when ice ( thermal conductivity of 2. 18 W /( m · K ) at 0 ° C ) melts into liquid water ( thermal conductivity of 0. 90 W /( m · K ) at 0 ° C ).

Sapphire is a notable example of variable thermal conductivity based on orientation and temperature, with 35 W /( m · K ) along the c-axis and 32 W /( m · K ) along the a-axis .< ref >

However, this retraction must accommodate all compliance in the system ( under pressure ) as well as thermal distortion of components like the brake disc or the brake system will drag until the contact with the disc, for example, knocks the pads and pistons back from the rubbing surface.

For example a passive solar thermal array which does not rely on pumps and sensors will only start circulating when a certain amount of internal energy has built up in the system.

For example a solar thermal array could heat a swimming pool on a relatively cool morning where heating a domestic hot water cylinder was impractical due to the different stored water temperatures.

For example, when outside temperatures are fluctuating throughout the day, a large thermal mass within the insulated portion of a house can serve to " flatten out " the daily temperature fluctuations, since the thermal mass will absorb thermal energy when the surroundings are higher in temperature than the mass, and give thermal energy back when the surroundings are cooler, without reaching thermal equilibrium.

In one outstanding example, Whirlpool Corp. found that by switching to urethane foam insulation, they could increase the storage capacity of gas refrigerators to make them competitive with electric models.

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.

# An asset with a known price in the future does not today trade at its future price discounted at the risk-free interest rate ( or, the asset does not have negligible costs of storage ; as such, for example, this condition holds for grain but not for securities ).

This type of price arbitrage is the most common, but this simple example ignores the cost of transport, storage, risk, and other factors.

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 ).

An example of primary storage.

160 GB Digital Linear Tape | SDLT tape cartridge, an example of off-line storage.

Likewise, as with most collectibles, a coin collection does not produce income until it is sold, and may even incur costs ( for example, the cost of safe deposit box storage ) in the interim.

In Unix-like operating systems, many files have no direct association with a physical storage device: < tt >/ dev / null </ tt > is a prime example, as are just about all files under < tt >/ dev </ tt >, < tt >/ proc </ tt > and < tt >/ sys </ tt >.

Using a three-digit Julian day number saves one byte of computer storage over a two-digit month plus two-digit day, for example, " January 17 " is 017 in Julian versus 0117 in month-day format.

It is frequently cited as an example of digital obsolescence on account of the physical medium used for data storage.

For example, the Computer Security Institute reported that in 2007, 71 % of companies surveyed utilized encryption for some of their data in transit, and 53 % utilized encryption for some of their data in storage.

Less commonly, acute adverse reactions can also occur if chemical contamination of food occurs, for example from improper storage, or use of non-food grade soaps and disinfectants.

For example, potato waffles are stored in the freezer, but potatoes themselves require only a cool dark place to ensure many months ' storage.

Many root vegetables are very resistant to spoilage and require no other preservation than storage in cool dark conditions, for example by burial in the ground, such as in a storage clamp.

This causes redundancy in an undirected graph: for example, if vertices A and B are adjacent, A's adjacency list contains B, while B's list contains A. Adjacency queries are faster, at the cost of extra storage space.

* Upholstered furniture, coffee tables, rattan furniture, bookshelves, media storage, doorknobs: Swedish placenames ( for example: Klippan )

For example, DUKTIG ( meaning: good, well-behaved ) is a line of children's toys, OSLO is a name of a bed, BILLY ( a Swedish masculine name ) is a popular bookcase, DINERA ( meaning: ( to ) dine ) for tableware, KASSETT ( meaning: cassette ) for media storage.

* Kilobit ( kb ), a unit of information used, for example, to quantify computer memory or storage capacity

* Kilobyte ( kB ), a unit of information used, for example, to quantify computer memory or storage capacity

For example, data storage in the server is not specified-the server may use flat files, databases, or just be a gateway to some other server.

The lower power station has four water turbines which can generate 360 MW of electricity, an example of artificial energy storage and conversion.

An example of deliberate mechanical energy storage is the use of logs or boulders as defensive measures in ancient forts — the logs or boulders were collected at the top of a hill or wall, and the energy thus stored used to attack invaders who came within range.
