These applications include jet aircraft, helicopters, large ships and electric generators.

Because this technology – except for military applications – is not commercially available, insufficient quantities of it are available on the global isotope markets for use in large scale, commercial irradiators.

The most difficult integers to factor in practice using existing algorithms are those that are products of two large primes of similar size, and for this reason these are the integers used in cryptographic applications.

Such mode-locked lasers are a most versatile tool for researching processes occurring on extremely short time scales ( known as femtosecond physics, femtosecond chemistry and ultrafast science ), for maximizing the effect of nonlinearity in optical materials ( e. g. in second-harmonic generation, parametric down-conversion, optical parametric oscillators and the like ) due to the large peak power, and in ablation applications.

Such distributions ( often called distros for short ) are operating systems including a large collection of software applications such as word processors, spreadsheets, media players, and database applications.

Inductors are used in some high frequency analog circuits, but tend to occupy large chip area if used at low frequencies ; gyrators can replace them in many applications.

The problem of efficient production in textiles is complicated by the fact that the industry serves large markets which shift quickly with changes of fashion in apparel or home decoration.

The Diesel engine has the lowest specific fuel consumption of any large internal combustion engine employing a single cycle, 0. 26 lb / hp. h ( 0. 16 kg / kWh ) for very large marine engines ( combined cycle power plants are more efficient, but employ two engines rather than one ).

Electric motors of increasing efficiency were constructed throughout the 19th century, but commercial exploitation of electric motors on a large scale required efficient electrical generators and electrical distribution networks.

); a homemade shelter-ventilating pump ( a KAP ); large containers for water ; a plastic bottle of sodium hypochlorite bleach ; one or two KFMs and the knowledge to operate them ; at least a 2-week supply of compact, nonperishable food ; an efficient portable stove ; wooden matches in a waterproof container ; essential containers and utensils for storing, transporting, and cooking food ; a hose-vented 5-gallon can, with heavy plastic bags for liners, for use as a toilet ; tampons ; insect screen and fly bait ; any special medications needed by family members ; Pure potassium iodide, a 2-oz bottle, and a medicine-dropper ; A first-aid kit and a tube of antibiotic ointment ; long-burning candles ( with small wicks ) sufficient for at least 14 nights ; an oil lamp ; a flashlight and extra batteries ; and a transistor radio with extra batteries and a metal box to protect it from EMP.

* By the convolution theorem, Fourier transforms turn the complicated convolution operation into simple multiplication, which means that they provide an efficient way to compute convolution-based operations such as polynomial multiplication and multiplying large numbers.

The reaction to Napoleon's conquests of German countries during the era of the French Revolution ( 1790s to 1815 ), produced important institutional reforms, including the abolition of feudal restrictions on the sale of large landed estates, the reduction of the power of the guilds in the cities, and the introduction of a new, more efficient commercial law.

GIF became popular because it used LZW data compression, which was more efficient than the run-length encoding that formats such as PCX and MacPaint used, and fairly large images could therefore be downloaded in a reasonably short time, even with very slow modems.

Paint does not make optimal use of the GIF format ; due to the unnecessarily large color table ( storing a full 256 colors instead of the used 2 ) and symbol width, this GIF file is not an efficient representation of the 15-pixel image ( illustrated enlarged above ).

Reforms included the abolition of feudal restrictions on the sale of large landed estates, the reduction of the power of the guilds in the cities, and the introduction of a new, more efficient commercial law.

Like some other herbivores, they have a large cecum, containing bacteria that ferment cellulose, allowing for more efficient digestion of plant matter.

When the numbers are very large, no efficient, non-quantum integer factorization algorithm is known ; an effort concluded in 2009 by several researchers factored a 232-digit number ( RSA-768 ), utilizing hundreds of machines over a span of 2 years.

When they are both large, for instance more than 2000 bits long, randomly chosen, and about the same size ( but not too close, e. g. to avoid efficient factorization by Fermat's factorization method ), even the fastest prime factorization algorithms on the fastest computers can take enough time to make the search impractical ; that is, as the number of digits of the primes being factored increases, the number of operations required to perform the factorization on any computer increases drastically.

If for example the industry is large enough to support one company of minimum efficient scale then other companies entering the industry will operate at a size that is less than MES, meaning that these companies cannot produce at an average cost that is competitive with the dominant company.

Very large globals ( e. g., hundreds of gigabytes ) are practical and efficient in most implementations.

Around the time of the American Civil War, syrup makers started using large, flat sheet metal pans as they were more efficient for boiling than heavy, rounded iron kettles, because of a greater surface area for evaporation.
