The Nigerian Ports Authority ( NPA ) is responsible for managing Nigeria ’ s ports, some of which have fallen behind international standards in terms of the quality of facilities and operational efficiency.

These reactors can function much like a PWR in terms of efficiency, and do not require much high pressure containment, as the liquid metal does not need to be kept at high pressure, even at very high temperatures.

Yet, the ability to establish and conduct business easily has been cause for economic hardship ; the 2010 the World Economic Forum ranked Poland near the bottom of OECD countries in terms of the clarity, efficiency and neutrality of the legal framework used by firms to settle disputes.

Novelty almost matched it in terms of efficiency, but its firebox design caused it to gradually slow to a halt due to a build up of molten ash ( called " clinker ") cutting off the air supply.

Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.

Channel utilization, Channel efficiency and packet drop rate in percentage are less ambiguous terms.

This is due partly to its great efficiency in terms of sound – it covers or imitates most sections of a symphony orchestra, including the percussion which is improvised by all players on the bodies of their instruments – and the strong expressive identity it permits each individual musician.

As a circle encloses the maximum amount of area for a given perimeter, circle packing allows for maximum efficiency in terms of paper usage.

* Array space efficiency is given as an expression in terms of the number of drives, ; this expression designates a value between 0 and 1, representing the fraction of the sum of the drives ' capacities that is available for use.

that is, tariffs are beneficial to the society if the area given by the rectangle E more than offsets the losses shown by triangles B and D. Rectangle E is called the terms of trade gain whereas the two triangles B and D are also called efficiency loss, as this cost is incurred because tariffs reduce the incentives for the society to consume and produce.

Many of these centres are filled to capacity in terms of general doctors, and there are often fairly long waiting lists and the centres also utilize nurse practitioners, who reduce the workload on the doctors and increase efficiency.

The zoom-lens of attention can be described in terms of an inverse trade-off between the size of focus and the efficiency of processing: because attentional resources are assumed to be fixed, then it follows that the larger the focus is, the slower processing will be of that region of the visual scene since this fixed resource will be distributed over a larger area.

Many social democrats and " New Deal liberals ", have adopted this analysis for public policy, so they view market failures as a very common problem of any unregulated market system and therefore argue for state intervention in the economy in order to ensure both efficiency and social justice ( usually interpreted in terms of limiting avoidable inequalities in wealth and income ).

The best performance ( in terms of thrust efficiency and power-to-thrust ratio ) can be obtained using high atomic weight alkali metals, such as cesium and rubidium ( 133 amu for Cs, 85. 5 amu for Rb ).

This system aids in better evaluation of policies and procedures with accountability and efficiency in terms of time and money.

O ' Toole described Sloan's style as follows: " hereas Taylor occasionally backs off to justify his ardor for efficiency in human terms, not once does Sloan make reference to any other values.

In the long term, benchmarks, using real-life examples, provide the only real hope of resolving such conflicts-at least in terms of run-time efficiency.

While with these meters the parker may have to walk several car lengths to the meter, there are significant benefits in terms of customer service, performance and efficiency.

The building has an unusual, bulbous shape, purportedly intended to reduce its surface area and thus improve energy efficiency, although energy use measurements have shown this building to be fairly inefficient in terms of energy use.

When analyzing the efficiency of algorithms that use stacks, one may also specify that all operations take the same time no matter how many items have been pushed into the stack, and that the stack uses a constant amount of storage for each element.

Class-B amplifiers only amplify half of the input wave cycle, thus creating a large amount of distortion, but their efficiency is greatly improved and is much better than class A.

However practical devices have a limit to the peak current they can pass, and the pulse must therefore be widened, to around 120 degrees, to obtain a reasonable amount of power, and the efficiency is then 60-70 %.

Although Greenpeace had stated that efficiency was its primary concern, as early as 2001, statements from March and April 2005 also continued to express concern over human health and environmental safety Greenpeace has opposed releasing golden rice to fields as opposed to farming in greenhouses, which according to golden rice developer Ingo Potrykus, limits the amount of material needed for human safety testing.

GWP is based on a number of factors, including the radiative efficiency ( infrared-absorbing ability ) of each gas relative to that of carbon dioxide, as well as the decay rate of each gas ( the amount removed from the atmosphere over a given number of years ) relative to that of carbon dioxide.

The efficiency of a heat engine relates how much useful work is output for a given amount of heat energy input.

The basic reason is that no productive factor with a non-zero marginal product is left unutilized, and the units of each factor are so allocated as to yield the same indirect marginal utility in all uses, a basic efficiency condition ( if this indirect marginal utility were higher in one use than in other ones, a Pareto improvement could be achieved by transferring a small amount of the factor to the use where it yields a higher marginal utility ).

Flooding also causes a high amount of signaling traffic in the network and hence such networks typically have very poor search efficiency.

Cycles are also sometimes ignored in systems with short lives and a small amount of cyclic garbage, particularly when the system was developed using a methodology of avoiding cyclic data structures wherever possible, typically at the expense of efficiency.

The amount of air which is actually inhaled, compared with the theoretical amount if the engine could maintain atmospheric pressure, is called volumetric efficiency.

Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity.

The level of safety, quality and efficiency of passenger and freight transport, as well as the infrastructure's amount of energy usage, and the technological burden it places on the environment do not meet modern-day requirements.

This does not represent the total amount of energy within the hydrogen, hence the efficiency is lower than a more strict definition.

Given a gain of about 100 and a laser efficiency of about 1 %, HiPER produces about the same amount of fusion energy as electrical energy was needed to create it.

Because of the aerodynamic efficiency of propellers and fans, it is more fuel efficient to accelerate a large mass by a small amount.

Complete treatment usually lasts up to 3 weeks and involves making oneself sleep for only a minimum amount of time that they are actually capable of on average, and then, if capable ( i. e. when sleep efficiency improves ), slowly increasing this amount (~ 15 min ) by going to bed earlier as the body attempts to reset its internal sleep clock.

Mirtazapine is known to decrease sleep latency, promoting sleep efficiency and increasing the total amount of sleeping time in patients suffering from both depression and insomnia.

These were used for pumping water out of the Cornish Tin mines, and therefore the efficiency and efficacy of the engines was an important factor in the amount of tin, and money, which could be extracted from a mine.
