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 example, the United States holds a number of bilateral agreements with countries exporting tropical fruit which is irradiated to eliminate insect pests and to fulfill the quarantine requirements, but no information on amounts traded in reality is available.

For example, tropical climates were said to cause laziness, relaxed attitudes and promiscuity, while the frequent variability in the weather of the middle latitudes led to more determined and driven work ethics.

For decades, Pahang's main industry centred on tropical timber production, as large forest swatches supported massive production of wood products, which were the state's main export.

For example, data from species-level phylogenetic and biogeographic studies tell us that the Amazonian fish fauna accumulated incrementally over a period of tens of millions of years, principally by means of allopatric speciation, and in an arena extending over most of the area of tropical South America ( Albert & Reis 2011 ).

He wrote: For nineteen years my vision was bounded by forests, but today, emerging from a multitude of tropical plants, I beheld the Gulf of Mexico stretching away unbounded, except by the sky.

For centuries Hainan Island was part of Guangdong Province, but in 1988 this resource-rich tropical island became part of the newly created Hainan Province ( 海南省, Hǎinán Shěng ).

For owls found in more tropical climates, the dates of the breeding season are somewhat undefined.

For example, tropical diseases are not subject to much research, as they are not considered profitable by the pharmaceutical industry.

For example, the domestication of horses is frequently associated with the expansion of the Indo-European language family ( other linguists see an earlier expansion date which they attribute to the expansion to farming and herding ), the expansion of the Chinese language is sometimes associated first with millet and later with rice farming, and the development of crops and domesticated animals that can thrive in tropical environments may have been one factor in Bantu expansion.

For example, towns in the Arctic environment would not grow without regular deliveries of food, and those in the tropical environment also need access to fresh water.

For this purpose, the signs and houses of the zodiac are calculated using sidereal time, not tropical.

For much of its existence, the tropical cyclone maintained a track from west to east across the Caribbean Sea, which was unprecedented in the Atlantic hurricane database.

For South Atlantic hurricanes, see: Category: South Atlantic tropical cyclones.

For example, cooler air temperatures at a higher altitude ( e. g., at the 500 hPa level, or 5. 9 km ) can lead to tropical cyclogenesis at lower water temperatures, as a certain lapse rate is required to force the atmosphere to be unstable enough for convection.

For tropical cyclones in other basins, see: Category: Tropical cyclones.

For example, a simple model of an ocean such as the Atlantic might divide the ocean into four compartments: ' south ', ' tropical ', ' north ' and ' deep '.
