Table 1,, p. 394, shows a comparison of K factor ratings of a number of commercial insulating materials in common use, including two different types of rigid urethane foam.

* If the balance factor of R is + 1, two different rotations are needed.

* If the balance factor of L is-1, two different rotations are needed.

However the efficiencies of any two " reasonable " implementations of a given algorithm are related by a constant multiplicative factor called a hidden constant.

Instead, the ratio of the speed of the wind and that of the cups, the anemometer factor, depends on the dimensions of the cups and arms, and may have a value between two and a little over three.

Convertible arbitrage consists of buying a convertible bond and hedging two of the three factors in order to gain exposure to the third factor at a very attractive price.

While their coordinate distance ( comoving distance ) remains constant, the physical distance between two such comoving points expands proportionally with the scale factor of the Universe.

This factor is a natural outcome of Hollywood script development which wishes to highlight one or two major characters which can be played by major stars, and thus a good way of marketing the movie is established but that rings false upon examination.

They are reduced by at least a factor of two if commission is charged on winning bets only.

It follows from this theorem that all Carmichael numbers are odd, since any even composite number that is square-free ( and hence has only one prime factor of two ) will have at least one odd prime factor, and thus results in an even dividing an odd, a contradiction.

The PPF is a table or graph ( as at the right ) showing the different quantity combinations of the two goods producible with a given technology and total factor inputs, which limit feasible total output.

In fact, one of two other things could have been true: that the testes modified or activated a constituent of the blood or that the testes removed an inhibitory factor from the blood.

Early public-key systems are secure assuming that it is difficult to factor a large integer composed of two or more large prime factors.

In mathematics, the Euclidean algorithm, or Euclid's algorithm, is an efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor ( GCD ) of two integers, also known as the greatest common factor ( GCF ) or highest common factor ( HCF ).

For if k, m, and n are integers, and k is a common factor of two integers A and B, then A = nk and B = mk implies A − B = ( n − m ) k, therefore k is also a common factor of the difference.

The GCD of two numbers a and b is the product of the prime factors shared by the two numbers, where a same prime factor can be used multiple times, but only as long as the product of these factors divides both a and b. For example, since 1386 can be factored into 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 11, and 3213 can be factored into 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 17, the greatest common divisor of 1386 and 3213 equals 63 = 3 × 3 × 7, the product of their shared prime factors.

One approach consists of taking an ordinary algorithm ( e. g. Cooley – Tukey ) and removing the redundant parts of the computation, saving roughly a factor of two in time and memory.

There are further FFT specializations for the cases of real data that have even / odd symmetry, in which case one can gain another factor of ( roughly ) two in time and memory and the DFT becomes the discrete cosine / sine transform ( s ) ( DCT / DST ).

In mathematics, the greatest common divisor ( gcd ), also known as the greatest common factor ( gcf ), or highest common factor ( hcf ), of two or more non-zero integers, is the largest positive integer that divides the numbers without a remainder.

The total mass of the gas is greater than that of the galaxies by roughly a factor of two.

* X / Open XA distributed transaction processing ( DTP ) support ; two phase commit as part of this, using Oracle's InnoDB engine

When such an individual trades on the capital markets, it will often involve a two stage transaction.

The distinguishing difference between the two markets is that in the primary market, the money for the securities is received by the issuer of those securities from investors, typically in an initial public offering transaction, whereas in the secondary market, the securities are simply assets held by one investor selling them to another investor ( money goes from one investor to the other ).

The JTA is modelled on the X / Open XA architecture, but it defines two different APIs for demarcating transaction boundaries.

In " primitive " societies, he argued, marriage is not fundamentally a relationship between a man and a woman, it is a transaction involving a woman that forges a relationship — an alliance — between two men.

Just before the media revealed the Ambrosiano scandal, Gérard Soisson, manager of transaction clearing company Clearstream, was found dead in Corsica, two months after Ernest Backes's dismissal from Clearstream in May 1983.

* Brokerages: A mediator who charges a fee to facilitate a real estate transaction between the two parties.

In a July 21, 1999 SEC S-3 filing by AOL, the transaction was recorded as a payment of 2, 863, 053 shares of AOL common stock to the 54 stockholders in the two companies being acquired.

A real estate transaction two years earlier had failed to disclose termites in a building.

* The value, or, strictly speaking, the price, of a particular site of land is what a fair exchange brings in terms of money during an agreed trade or transaction between two parties, one of whom is the landowner.

At least two definitions of the phrase " transaction cost " are commonly used in literature.

For example, if two database tables that refer to each other must be updated, and the second update fails, the transaction can be rolled back, so that the first table does not now contain an invalid reference.

* In theory, every business transaction that a Ferengi makes is governed by two hundred eighty-five Rules of Acquisition, though the rules themselves give the Ferengi license to cheat, steal, and bend the truth to suit their needs.

Prior to the close of the sale, WGN-TV was one of two Chicago commercial television stations ( not counting network-owned stations ) to have never been involved in an ownership transaction ( WCIU is the other, having been owned by Weigel Broadcasting since its launch in 1964 ).

This transaction is a single operation in the eyes of the bank, but it involves at least two separate operations in computer terms: debiting the savings account by $ 700, and crediting the checking account by $ 700.

Each object in the database is given two timestamp fields which are not used other than for concurrency control: is the time at which the value of object was last used by a transaction, is the time at which the value of the object was last updated by a transaction.

So given two transactions that affect the same object, the transaction that has the earlier timestamp is meant to be applied before the other one.

A typical conveyancing transaction contains two major landmarks: the exchange of contracts ( whereby equitable title passes ) and completion ( whereby legal title passes ).

Considering, for example, the case of a communication between two parties, one ( the advisee ) that is requesting advice about the potential for danger in a financial transaction with another party ( the potential partner, target ), and the other ( the adviser, evaluator ) that is giving advice.

If one writes a check for € 100 to buy groceries, a transactional double-entry accounting system must record the following two entries to cover the single transaction:

* Real estate transaction, the process whereby rights in a unit of property is transferred between two or more parties

A FRA transaction is a contract between two parties to exchange payments on a deposit, called the Notional amount, to be determined on the basis of a short-term interest rate,

During his tenure in these two positions, Regan also pushed hard for an end to minimum fixed commissions for brokers, which were fees that brokerage companies had to charge clients for every transaction they made on the clients ' behalf ; Regan saw them as a cartel-like restriction.
