" We're going to be focusing an enormous amount of public interest on a whole, wide range of environmental events, hopefully in such a manner that it's going to be drawing the interrelationships between them and, getting people to look at the whole thing as one consistent kind of picture, a picture of a society that's rapidly going in the wrong direction that has to be stopped and turned around.

Malherbe's reforms helped to elaborate the kind of verse necessary for the classical tragedy, but his own poetical work is scanty in amount, and for the most part frigid and lacking inspiration.

In essence, the decree required the farmers to give the government a specified amount of raw agricultural product as a tax in kind.

Huxley argues that those who have, “ modified their merely human mode of being ,” and have thus been able to comprehend “ more than merely human kind and amount of knowledge ” have also achieved this enlightened state.

The ordinary man is satisfied with a moderate income, a home, wife, children, and all that .... But I am a million miles from being that kind of man and no amount of trying will ever do any good ".

The auditors, LECG Canada Ltd., say that amount could almost double if what they believed to be unreported contributions in kind at various election events – but couldn't prove – are later verified.

A certain kind of equilibrium, it is true, is reestablished in the long run, but it is after a frightful amount of suffering.

Note that round trip latency excludes the amount of time that a destination system spends processing the packet.

Despite the amount of digital image processing that has to be internally done, Links is one of the fastest graphical web browsers.

A larger MTU also means processing of fewer packets for the same amount of data.

Photographers control the camera and lens to " expose " the light recording material ( such as film ) to the required amount of light to form a " latent image " ( on film ) or " raw file " ( in digital cameras ) which, after appropriate processing, is converted to a usable image.

Net receipts amount to between $ 1. 5 million and $ 3. 03 million annually, although shipments from Yazaki are counted as services ( export processing ) and therefore do not officially appear as merchandise exports.

In the real world they have to process a massive amount of water to extract enough oxygen to supply an active diver, and processing this much water takes a great deal of energy ( possible for cold-blooded fish, but harder for humans with higher metabolic rates ).

The theory therefore predicts that the amount of forgetting depends on the temporal density of attentional demands of the processing task-this density is called " cognitive load ".

A series of chemical processing steps separated the small amount of plutonium that was produced from the remaining uranium and the fission waste products.

Scientific data processing usually involves a great deal of computation ( arithmetic and comparison operations ) upon a relatively small amount of input data, resulting in a small volume of output.

Unit selection provides the greatest naturalness, because it applies only a small amount of digital signal processing ( DSP ) to the recorded speech.

DSP often makes recorded speech sound less natural, although some systems use a small amount of signal processing at the point of concatenation to smooth the waveform.

processing, the film is split down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge, thereby yielding four times as many frames from the same amount of 16 mm film — and hence the cost savings.

( e. g. While reading, shifting overt attention would amount to movement of eyes to read different words, but covert attention shift would occur when you shift your focus from semantic processing of a word to the font or color of the word you are reading.

# The increased amount of speed in mental processing.

Because of the low Pulse Repetition Frequency ( PRF ) of most coherent pulsed radars, which maximizes the coverage in range, the amount of doppler processing is limited.

Adding an otherwise redundant short filler variable to ' pad out ' the length of a structure element to say 8 bytes when otherwise it would have been 6 or 7 bytes may reduce overall processing time by a worthwhile amount for very large arrays.

A fairly large but indeterminate amount of the brain is devoted to processing and controlling sensory, motor, and autonomic functions such as vision, olfaction, movement, appetite, etc.

The government cuts will reduce the amount of information StatsCan produces and may result in data collection and processing services being contracted out.

Although many argue that memorization does not typically require the complex cognitive processing that increases retention ( Sagarra & Alba, 2006 ), it does typically require a large amount of repetition, and spaced repetition with flashcards is an established method for memorization, particularly used for vocabulary acquisition in computer-assisted language learning.

The inputs buffer the signal from the external device and this controls the amount of amplification or attenuation needed to bring the signal to a nominal level for processing.

Since terminals were connected through various types of front-end processors ( as per common IBM timesharing practice both then and now ), and could therefore function without CPU attention for a considerable amount of time, MUSIC used variable-length time slices, which could, on compute-bound processing, reach a maximum of several seconds per time slice ; conversely, if a user filled the output buffer or reached a conversational read, the timeslice would end immediately.

A significant amount of visual processing arises from the patterns of communication between neurons in the retina.

This kind of analyser is only realtime for the amount of data / capture time it can store in memory and still produces gaps in the spectrum and results during processing time.

Drawbacks with a one-film-per-tube method is that processing any amount of film can take a very long time ; it's difficult to keep up with more than one or two tubes at a time.
