New machinery of coordination should not be our primary objective in the foreseeable future -- though perhaps the `` political general staff '' of Western leaders proposed by Sir Anthony Eden would serve a useful purpose.

Such an instrument would be useful for the characterization of many commercial materials as well as theoretical studies.

Under the circumstances, however, the team considered it would provide the most useful information at this point.

Interest remained, however, in the possibility that it would serve as a useful supplementary method for counteracting spoilage losses and for preserving some foods at lower over-all costs than freezing, or without employing heat or chemicals with their attendant taste alterations.

While the house is clearly intended for a wealthy family, Aalto nevertheless argued that it was also an experiment that would prove useful in the design of mass housing.

Intuitively, one would expect systems which collect more than one type of data to be more useful than systems which collect only one type of information ( such as single-purpose laboratory or 911 call-center based systems ), and be less prone to false alarms, and this appears to be the case.

Bliss found especially useful their " triangle of reference ": the physical thing or " referent " that we perceive would be represented at the right angle ; the meaning that we know by experience ( our implicit definition of the thing ), at the top angle ; and the physical word that we speak or write, at the left angle.

Under ideal ( adiabatic ) conditions, the exponent would be 1. 4, but a lower value, generally between 1. 2 and 1. 3 is used, since the amount of heat lost will vary among engines based on design, size and materials used, but provides useful results for purposes of comparison.

For example, if the static compression ratio is 10: 1, and the dynamic compression ratio is 7. 5: 1, a useful value for cylinder pressure would be ( 7. 5 )^ 1. 3 × atmospheric pressure, or 13. 7 bar.

To use an analogy, one could classify all animals into " fish " and " non-fish " but that classification would be hardly useful, and would imply that spiders are similar to mountain goats.

This technique is also very useful for compounds which boil beyond their decomposition temperature at atmospheric pressure and which would therefore be decomposed by any attempt to boil them under atmospheric pressure.

They are also noted for the ability to rise from the grave as wisps of smoke and " swim " through solid rock, which would be useful as a means of exiting their graves.

The flexibility of mounted infantry made dragoons a useful arm, especially when employed for what would now be termed " internal security " against smugglers or civil unrest, and on line of communication security duties.

Other metals, such as magnesium, would work very well but zinc is the least expensive useful metal.

The principles underlying intra-and inter-individual differences could be educationally useful, because knowing how students differ in regard to the various dimensions of cognitive development, such as processing and representational capacity, self-understanding and self-regulation, and the various domains of understanding, such as mathematical, scientific, or verbal abilities, would enable the teacher to cater for the needs of the different students so that no one is left behind.
