For the Bandanese, on the other hand, although they welcomed another competitor purchaser for their spices, the items of trade offered by the Dutch — heavy woollens, and damasks, unwanted manufactured goods, for example — were usually unsuitable in comparison to traditional trade products.

For this reason, the history of Cairo during Ottoman times is often described as inconsequential, especially in comparison to other time periods.

For example, Darwinism may be used to refer to Darwin's proposed mechanism of natural selection, in comparison to more recent mechanisms such as genetic drift and gene flow.

For comparison, treating of cotton during a typical U. S. growing season requires the same amount of chemical as roughly 1, 700 homes.

For example, it may be more cost-efficient to obtain the desired level of performance by using a cluster of several low-end computers, in comparison with a single high-end computer.

For comparison:

For comparison, a mouse with a normal amount of adipose tissue is shown on the right.

For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress.

For comparison, the energy density of TNT is 4. 7 megajoules per kilogram, and the energy density of gasoline is 47. 2 megajoules per kilogram.

For example, take the following comparison of execution time of computer programs:

For comparison, the average was 73. 3 days in Latin America and 16. 3 days in OECD countries.

For comparison, the other two general conic sections, the ellipse and the parabola, derive from the corresponding Greek words for " deficient " and " comparable "; these terms may refer to the eccentricity of these curves, which is greater than one ( hyperbola ), less than one ( ellipse ) and exactly one ( parabola ), respectively.

For comparison, the most efficient small four-stroke motors are around 43 % thermal efficiency ( SAE 900648 ); size is an advantage for efficiency due to the increase in the ratio of volume to surface area.

For comparison, consider a similar example written in Java-based pseudocode:

For comparison, cooking, smoking, salting etc.

For comparison, milk heat pasteurization is not being alleged to be a method " to cover up poor food quality "; consequently, food irradiation should not be accused to serve such criminal purposes.

For comparison, woven garments stretch mainly along one direction ( the bias ) and are not very elastic, unless they are woven from stretchable material such as spandex.

( For comparison, a sphere is an orientable surface with no boundary.

For example, a crystal intended for a 6 pF load has its specified parallel resonance frequency when a 6. 0 pF capacitor is placed across it.

For crystals operated at series resonance or pulled away from the main mode by the inclusion of a series inductor or capacitor, significant ( and temperature-dependent ) spurious responses may be experienced.

For split phase systems, the signal can be passively coupled from phase-to-phase using a passive capacitor, but for three phase systems or where the capacitor provides insufficient coupling, an active X10 repeater can be used.

For example, dielectric absorption refers to the inability of a capacitor that has been charged for a long time to completely discharge when briefly discharged.

For current signals, a similar circuit using a resistor and capacitor in parallel works in a similar manner.

For example, the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor constructed of two parallel plates both of area A separated by a distance d is approximately equal to the following:

For example, in charging such a capacitor the differential increase in voltage with charge is governed by:

For example, consider an capacitor made of two identical parallel-plates.

For many applications, especially with single phase AC where the full-wave bridge serves to convert an AC input into a DC output, the addition of a capacitor may be desired because the bridge alone supplies an output of pulsed DC ( see diagram to right ).

For example, the capacitor can be charged toward a positive power supply until it reaches a threshold voltage sufficiently close to the supply.

For a given capacitor charging current, the amplitude of the output waveform will decrease linearly with frequency.

For example, in order to match an inductive load into a real impedance, a capacitor needs to be used.

For short pulses the only real electrical limit is the total system inductance, including that of the capacitor.

For example, the time travel device in the 1985 comedy drama film Back to the Future was said to be powered by a " flux capacitor ", which has no meaning outside the context of the movie.

For example, imagine source impedance of 200 ohms and a resistive load of 1000 Ω which is connected via a capacitor with an impedance of-j 200 Ω to the inductor of the transmatch.

For example, C1 is the first capacitor, L1 is the first inductor, Q1 is the first transistor, and R1 is the first resistor ( note that this is not written as a subscript, as in R < sub > 1 </ sub >, L < sub > 1 </ sub >,...).

Such devices are very convenient in the manufacture of voltage-controlled oscillators For low-frequency VCOs, other methods of varying the frequency ( such as altering the charging rate of a capacitor by means of a voltage controlled current source ) are used.

For the parallel-plate capacitor we have, where is the applied voltage.

For 240 volt operation, the switch configures the system as a full-wave bridge, re-connecting the capacitor center-tap wire to the open AC terminal of a bridge rectfier system.

For simple SPST doorbell buttons, the chime device employs a rectifier diode and ballast capacitor at the voltage input stage of the circuit.

For example, a cell membrane can be modelled as a capacitor ( i. e. the lipid bilayer ) in parallel with resistance-battery combinations ( i. e. ion channels powered by an ion gradient across the membrane ).

For example, if one joule of energy is stored within a capacitor and then evenly released to a load over one second, the peak power delivered to the load would only be 1 watt.

For the remainder of that impulse the capacitor current ( c ) goes to zero and hence the integrator slope briefly goes to zero.
