For example, if a program needs 20 hours using a single processor core, and a particular portion of 1 hour cannot be parallelized, while the remaining promising portion of 19 hours ( 95 %) can be parallelized, then regardless of how many processors we devote to a parallelized execution of this program, the minimum execution time cannot be less than that critical 1 hour.

For an axially loaded straight column with any end support conditions, the equation of static equilibrium, in the form of a differential equation, can be solved for the deflected shape and critical load of the column.

For Adorno and Horkheimer state intervention in the economy had effectively abolished the tension in capitalism between the " relations of production " and " material productive forces of society ," a tension which, according to traditional critical theory, constituted the primary contradiction within capitalism.

" For Adorno and Horkheimer, this posed the problem of how to account for the apparent persistence of domination in the absence of the very contradiction that, according to traditional critical theory, was the source of domination itself.

For the same reason, filter functions whose critical response is at lower frequencies ( compared to the sampling frequency 1 / T ) require a higher order, more computationally intensive FIR filter.

For example, the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine suggests levels of evidence ( LOE ) according to the study designs and critical appraisal of prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, and harm studies:

For liquids, whether the incompressible assumption is valid depends on the fluid properties ( specifically the critical pressure and temperature of the fluid ) and the flow conditions ( how close to the critical pressure the actual flow pressure becomes ).

For example, when constructing behaviorally-anchored rating scales ( BARS ), a job analyst may use qualitative methods, such as critical incidents interviews and focus groups to collect data bearing on performance.

For example, most processors allow programs to disable interrupts, putting off the execution of interrupt handlers, in order to protect critical sections of code.

In 1991 he was awarded the Balzan Prize for Genetics and Evolution " For his powerful analysis of evolutionary theory and of the role of sexual reproduction as a critical factor in evolution and in the survival of species ; for his mathematical models applying the theory of games to evolutionary problems " ( motivation of the Balzan General Prize Committee ).

For a neutron-initiated chain-reaction to occur, there must be a critical mass of the element present in a certain space under certain conditions ( these conditions slow and conserve neutrons for the reactions ).

For a more detailed description of the physics and operating principles of critical fission reactors, see nuclear reactor physics.

For example, the intense backlash against country band the Dixie Chicks, for remarks critical of President George W. Bush onstage in London in 2003, was described by newspaper columnist Don Williams as the price for freely speaking political views disapproved by supporters of the Iraq War.

For instance, the behavior of water and CO < sub > 2 </ sub > at their boiling points fall in the same universality class because they have identical critical exponents.

" Daily Telegraph columnist Jasper Rees, likening the changes in explorers ' reputations to climatic variations, suggests that " in the current Antarctic weather report, Scott is enjoying his first spell in the sun for twenty-five years ". The New York Times Book Review was more critical, pointing out Crane's support for Scott's discredited claims regarding the circumstances of the freeing of the Discovery from the pack ice, and concluded " For all the many attractions of his book, David Crane offers no answers that convincingly exonerate Scott from a significant share of responsibility for his own demise.

For a detailed and critical survey of the history of syntax in the last two centuries, see the monumental work by Giorgio Graffi ( 2001 ).

For instance, all superconductors have exactly zero resistivity to low applied currents when there is no magnetic field present or if the applied field does not exceed a critical value.

For instance, the historian Thucydides, who is known for his critical spirit, considers it a true event but doubts that 1, 186 ships were sent to Troy.

For Thomas Kuhn, who presented his thoughts in a paper presented in 1977, a sense of such a critical inheritance of tradition is, historically, what sets apart the best scientists who change their fields is an embrasure of tradition.

For the UAE, the crisis over Kuwait demonstrated a lack of Arab unity on a critical Arab issue.

For some applications, a single alpha channel is not sufficient: a stained-glass window, for instance, requires a separate transparency channel for each RGB channel to model the red transparency, green transparency, and blue transparency.

For these reasons many CAD applications use the DWG format which can be licensed from AutoDesk or non-natively from the Open Design Alliance.

For many applications where one is only concerned about rotation around one axis, it is sufficient to discard the pseudovector nature of angular momentum, and treat it like a scalar where it is positive when it corresponds to a counter-clockwise rotation, and negative clockwise.

For different applications there are different precise definitions.

For instance, JavaBeans library is used for designing enterprise applications, Windows Forms library is used for designing graphical user interface ( GUI ) applications like Microsoft Word, and Windows Communication Foundation is used for designing web services.

For these non-traditional applications, hundreds of weaves or patterns have been invented.

For most applications, the effect is also negligible for Schottky diodes.

For faster applications FPGAs might be used.

Beginning in 2007, multicore implementations of DSPs have started to emerge from companies including Freescale and Stream Processors, Inc. For faster applications with vast usage, ASICs might be designed specifically.

For slow applications, a traditional slower processor such as a microcontroller may be adequate.

For many geologic applications, isotope ratios are measured in minerals that give the amount of time that has passed since a rock passed through its particular closure temperature, the point at which different radiometric isotopes stop diffusing into and out of the crystal lattice.

For many applications ( bottles, eyewear ) polymer glasses ( acrylic glass, polycarbonate,

For these applications, more expensive stainless steel is preferred.

For example, J2EE targeted enterprise applications and the greatly stripped-down version J2ME for mobile applications ( Mobile Java ).

For life-threatening applications, other factors come into play.

For example CP / M machines used many different floppy disk formats, which meant that one machine could not normally read disks from another CP / M machine, and Kermit was used as part of a process to enable the transfer of applications and data between CP / M machines and other machines with different operating systems.

For studies starting in autumn 2012, Lund received 11, 160 foreign master's applications from 152 countries, which was roughly one third of all international applications to Swedish universities.

For instance, laser microscopy focused on biological applications uses ultrashort pulse lasers, or femtosecond lasers, in a number of techniques labeled as nonlinear microscopy, saturation microscopy, and multiphoton fluorescence microscopy.

For some applications, the separation is preceded by wafer backgrinding in order to reduce the wafer thickness.

For example, z900, z990, System z9, and System z10 servers effectively execute result-oriented instructions twice, compare results, arbitrate between any differences ( through instruction retry and failure isolation ), then shift workloads " in flight " to functioning processors, including spares, without any impact to operating systems, applications, or users.

For technical applications such as laser mirrors, the reflective coating is typically applied by vacuum deposition on the front surface of the substrate.
