Biological cost or metabolic price is a measure of the increased energy metabolism required to achieve a function.

As the Universe expands, the density of radiation and ordinary and dark matter declines more quickly than the density of dark energy ( see equation of state ) and, eventually, dark energy dominates.

Golgo 13's energy level starts at 200 and continuously declines.

The chronic energy shortages Armenia suffered in the early and mid-1990s have been offset by the energy supplied by one of its nuclear power plants at Metsamor.

Some early scientists such as Georg Ernst Stahl ( 1659-1734 ) and Francisque Bouillier ( 1813 – 1899 ) had supported a form of animism which life and mind, the directive principle in evolution and growth, holding that all cannot be traced back to chemical and mechanical processes, but that there is a directive force which guides energy without altering its amount.

Although Housman's early work and his sphere of responsibilities as professor included both Latin and Greek, he began to focus his energy on Latin poetry.

The best measurements available ( from WMAP ) show that the data is well-fit by a Lambda-CDM model in which dark matter is assumed to be cold ( warm dark matter is ruled out by early reionization ), and is estimated to make up about 23 % of the matter / energy of the universe, while baryonic matter makes up about 4. 6 %.

In early 1993, after rumors began circulating about his health, Bixby went public with his illness, discussing his disease and the energy needed to keep him alive.

Particle physics is important to the behavior of the early universe, since the early universe was so hot that the average energy density was very high.

Following this, in the early universe, the evolution of the universe proceeded according to known high energy physics.

In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation or just inflation is the theorized extremely rapid exponential expansion of the early universe by a factor of at least 10 < sup > 78 </ sup > in volume, driven by a negative-pressure vacuum energy density.

In the early work of Max Planck, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, the existence of energy in discrete quantities had been postulated, in order to explain phenomena, such as the spectrum of black-body radiation, the photoelectric effect, and the stability and spectrum of atoms such as hydrogen, that had eluded explanation by, and even appeared to be in contradiction with, classical physics.

The agency was renamed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) in 1972, and during the early 1970s, it emphasized direct energy programs, information processing, and tactical technologies.

This principle, the conservation of energy, was first postulated in the early 19th century, and applies to any isolated system.

ECMWF's monthly and seasonal forecasts provide early predictions of events such as heat waves, cold spells and droughts, as well as their impacts on sectors such as agriculture, energy and health.

During the early formation of Christianity, church authorities ( Fathers of the Church ) exerted considerable amounts of energy attempting to weed out what were considered to be false doctrines ( e. g. Irenaeus ' On the Detection and Overthrow of False Gnosis ).

To mention a few of the memorable milestones on the road to the scudetto: a decisive win against Juventus ( 2 – 0 ), with a goal scored by Elkjær after having lost a boot in a tackle just outside the box, set the stage early in the championship ; an away win over Udinese ( 5 – 3 ) ended any speculation that the team was losing energy at the midway point ; three straight wins ( including a hard fought 1 – 0 victory against a strong AS Roma side ) served notice that the team had kept its polish and focus intact during their rival's final surge ; and a 1 – 1 draw in Bergamo against Atalanta secured the title with a game in hand.

Since the early 20th century, the term is used almost exclusively in conjunction with the modern development of hydro-electric power, which allowed use of distant energy sources.
