The energy intake from food is limited by the efficiency of digestion and the efficiency of utilization.

The domesticated variety, compared to the wild form, has increased cocoon size, growth rate and efficiency of its digestion.

Conventional food energy is based on heats of combustion in a bomb calorimeter and corrections that take into consideration the efficiency of digestion and absorption and the production of urea and other substances in the urine.

These compounds are absorbed by the body during digestion with about 30 % efficiency.

The luminous gain of a single stage with Af ( flux gain ) is, to a first approximation, given by the product of the photocathode sensitivity S ( amp / lumen ), the anode potential V ( volts ), and the phosphor conversion efficiency P ( lumen/watt ).

The luminous efficiency Af of a photocathode depends on the maximum radiant sensitivity Af and on the spectral distribution of the incident light Af by the relation: Af where Af is normalized radiant photocathode sensitivity.

The packing efficiency, F.R., of fiber plates did not receive much attention in the literature, probably as it is high for the larger fibers generally used, until rather recently.

For circular fibers in a closely packed hexagonal array, the packing efficiency is given by: Af where Af, and 0.906 is the ratio of the area of a circle to that of the circumscribed hexagon.

Thus, the efficiency **yt couplers is given by -- Af or approximately 50 percent each.

The efficiency Af of an Af lens at the magnification Af is: Af.

Thus, the combined efficiency of the elements replaced by the two fiber plates ( with a combined efficiency of 0.25 ) is 0.043 or about six times less than that of the two fiber plates.

`` Washington '', President Kennedy has been heard to remark ironically, `` is a city of southern efficiency and northern charm ''.

Each system develops differently, according to the area it serves, but the universal goal is to pool the resources of a given area for maximum efficiency.

Improved bandwidth efficiency is achieved at the expense of increased transmitter and receiver complexity by completely suppressing both the carrier and one of the sidebands.

Usually the efficiency or running time of an algorithm is stated as a function relating the input length to the number of steps ( time complexity ) or storage locations ( space complexity ).

Run-time efficiency is a topic of great interest in computer science: A program can take seconds, hours or even years to finish executing, depending on which algorithm it implements ( see also performance analysis, which is the analysis of an algorithm's run-time in practice ).

Technology is often a factor but so are military-social issues, the relationships between artillery and other arms, and the criteria by which military capability, efficiency and effectiveness are judged.

The speed at which they do so is a measure of market efficiency.

Drain efficiency is the ratio of output RF power to input DC power when primary input DC power has been fed to the drain of an FET.

Based on this definition, the drain efficiency cannot exceed 25 % for a class A amplifier that is supplied drain bias current through resistors ( because RF signal has its zero level at about 50 % of the input DC ).

The reason for this is that the loss of efficiency produces heat as a by-product of the energy lost during the conversion of power.

Exports of transport equipment would be expected to increase by the greatest increment from improvements in port efficiency, whereas exports of food and machinery would largely be the result of improvements in the regulatory environment.

The effects of the NÖS, which corrected mistakes made in the past, were largely positive, with growing economic efficiency.

The impact of EGR on engine efficiency largely depends on the specific engine design, and sometimes leads to a compromise between efficiency and NOx emissions.

In the late 2000s, with auto manufacturers making efforts to reduce emissions ; and increase fuel efficiency due to the high price of oil and the economic recession, the proportion of new vehicles sold in the U. S. with four-cylinder engines ( largely of the inline-four type ) rose from 30 percent to 47 percent between 2005 and 2008, particularly in mid-size vehicles where a decreasing number of buyers have chosen the V6 performance option.

The test has low power ( efficiency ) for moderate to large sample sizes, and is largely regarded as obsolete.

The Town Commissioners were able to tackle the town's problems with greater efficiency, and by 1869, the sewage problem had been largely taken care of.

The player's company and the individual stations each have ratings that depend largely on their efficiency at moving goods from one stations to the other.

The airline ultimately improved the efficiency of inmate transportation and made the sight of a shackled commercial airline passenger largely a thing of the past.

This is largely achieved through causing the maximum amount of material to combust, which results in a net efficiency of 60 to 70 % as contrasted to less than 30 % for an open fireplace.

The model of efficiency wages, largely based on shirking, developed by Carl Shapiro and Joseph E. Stiglitz has been particularly influential.

Filament based lamps have largely been superseded by high efficiency white light-emitting diode ( LED ) headlights, which combine lower expense, higher light output, and longer battery life.

In an era when " management engineers " were largely efficiency experts, Mac set out to enlarge the profession's scope by persuading clients that his young firm could not only help inefficient companies but also assist healthy companies in reorienting themselves to thrive in a turbulent business environment.

The structure of a group is altered by member diversity, which largely affects its efficiency.

The site selection process for the new FBI headquarters was largely driven by factors unrelated to organizational efficiency.

Murder, the crime by which the populace judges the efficiency of the government in preventing crime, has been largely eradicated and, though it is impossible ( even with advance warning ) to stop all crime across the planet, the increased capability of the government has led to a drastic decrease in consummated offences.

Energy use and emissions vary largely between modes, causing environmentalists to call for a transition from air and road to rail and human-powered transport, and increase transport electrification and energy efficiency.

In a 2007 article, Slant critic Ed Gonzales noted that the episode " largely concerns Moe getting plastic surgery but also features Bart and Lisa chasing a pink elephant around town and straight into a meeting for gay Republicans — a seemingly arbitrary bit of nonsense that connects succinctly with the theme of identity in which a person changes their face only to realize the efficiency of their old one.

The overall quantum efficiency for green light is about 90 %, with the " lost " 10 % being largely accounted for by the optical losses in top electrode.

The dyes have an excellent chance of converting a photon into an electron, originally around 80 % but improving to almost perfect conversion in more recent dyes, the overall efficiency is about 90 %, with the " lost " 10 % being largely accounted for by the optical losses in top electrode.

Thin-film solar technologies have enjoyed large investment due to the success of First Solar and the largely unfulfilled promise of lower cost and flexibility compared to wafer silicon cells, but they have not become mainstream solar products due to their lower efficiency and corresponding larger area consumption per watt production.

When the new NetBurst ( P68 ) architecture was conceived, initially in the Willamette core, which had relatively low IPC and less efficient overall design both in terms of power consumption and throughput efficiency, the P6 line of processing cores were largely thought to be abandoned.

The Harper Report called for the superintendent ’ s increased power, the instilling of corporate-like efficiency in the schools, the reduction of the school board ’ s size, the increase of “ experts ” in educational leadership positions, and the introduction of a salary system based on merit that would favor male high school teachers and administrators over the largely female elementary school teachers.
