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, a capacitor stores energy in an electric field, and a resistor does not store energy but rather dissipates energy as heat.

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 a time following the abandonment of the local plant, electric current for Manchester was brought in from the south with an emergency tie-in with the Vermont Marble Company system to the north.

For example, in sound recording, fluctuations in air pressure ( that is to say, sound ) strike the diaphragm of a microphone which induces corresponding fluctuations in the current produced by a coil in an electromagnetic microphone, or the voltage produced by a condensor microphone.

For recent events the Chronicle, like his Ecclesiastical History, relied upon Gildas, upon a version of the Liber pontificalis current at least to the papacy of Pope Sergius I ( 687 – 701 ), and other sources.

For a list of current trustees, see here.

For example, the year in Japan is based on the reign of the current emperor: 2006 was Year 18 of the Emperor Akihito.

For a recent review, see The authors admits that their model " does not solve the entropy and flatness problems of standard cosmology ..... and we can provide no explanation for why the current universe is so close to being spatially flat.

For example, at over 1. 9 years, over a billion times longer than the current estimated age of the universe, bismuth-209 ( atomic number 83 ) has the longest known alpha decay half-life of any naturally occurring element.

For example, at over 1. 9 years, over a billion times longer than the current estimated age of the universe, bismuth-209 ( atomic number 83 ) has the longest known alpha decay half-life of any naturally occurring element.

For a steady flow of charge through a surface, the current I ( in amperes ) can be calculated with the following equation:

For a net current to flow, more states for one direction than for the other direction must be occupied.

For alternating currents, especially at higher frequencies, skin effect causes the current to spread unevenly across the conductor cross-section, with higher density near the surface, thus increasing the apparent resistance.

For example, in a copper wire of cross-section 0. 5 mm < sup > 2 </ sup >, carrying a current of 5 A, the drift velocity of the electrons is on the order of a millimetre per second.

For example, the CCTV New Year's Gala usually promotes couplets reflecting current political themes in mainland China.

For example, reversing the current direction in a Daniell galvanic cell would produce an electrolytic cell, where the copper electrode is the positive terminal and the anode.

For example, sales representatives need to know about current issues and relevant marketing promotions before attempting to cross-sell to a specific client.

For example, current scholars of China tend to question the question, and look heavily at the assumptions within a question before attempting to answer it.

For these reasons, the term-algebra is rarely used in current terminology, and has been replaced by the term ' algebra '.

For example, in the 19th century, the Sun appeared to be no more than 20 million years old, but the Earth appeared to be no less than 300 million years ( resolved by the discovery of nuclear fusion and radioactivity, and the theory of quantum mechanics ); or current attempts to resolve theoretical differences between quantum mechanics and general relativity.

; Time-variant: For An operational system, the stored data contains the current value.

For the current loop, the magnetic dipole moment points through the loop ( according to the right hand grip rule ), with a magnitude equal to the current in the loop times the area of the loop.
