For internal political reasons, the union asks for ( and accepts ) increases in the basic wage rate, and would vigorously oppose a reduction in this rate, but the adjustment of the basic wage rate upwards is essentially up to the discretion of the companies of the industry.

The lungs in amphibians are primitive compared to those of amniotes, possessing few internal septa and large alveoli and consequently having a comparatively slow diffusion rate for oxygen entering the blood.

Further investigation and theoretical work showed that the effect was a radiationless effect more than an internal conversion effect by use of elementary quantum mechanics and transition rate and transition probability calculations.

In aerodynamics, air is normally assumed to be a Newtonian fluid, which posits a linear relationship between the shear stress ( the internal friction forces ) and the rate of strain of the fluid.

Every computer contains an internal clock that regulates the rate at which instructions are executed and synchronizes all the various computer components.

In addition, the efficiency of an internal combustion engine can be measured in this way, and some states and local municipalities are using combustion analysis to define and rate the efficiency of vehicles on the road today.

If the amount to be paid at time 0 ( now ) for all the future cash flows is known, then that amount can be substituted for DPV and the equation can be solved for i, that is the internal rate of return.

If that $ 50, 000 is amortized over the three years, his implied annual return ( known as the internal rate of return ) would be about 14. 5 %.

That financing permitted the government to reduce the demand for internal credit and, therefore, to maintain its established exchange rate.

Other sensitive aircraft instruments such as air speed indicators and rate of climb indicators ( variometers ) have connections both to the internal part of the aneroid chamber and to an external enclosing chamber.

However due to a slight increase in internal leakage as the pressure increases, a truly constant flow rate cannot be achieved.

These also protect the device's internal circuitry from short circuits or transients that may appear on the RS-232 interface, and provide sufficient current to comply with the slew rate requirements for data transmission.

This solution allowed the banks with the BIBF licenses to take advantages from the high interest rate of Thailand by taking out a low interest loan from foreign financial institutions and then loaning it to Thai businesses with a higher interest rate ( but still lower than the interest rate of the internal financial institutions ).

Almost all op-amps have an internal compensation capacitor which imposes slew rate limitations for high frequency signals.

To maintain the synchronous relationship between the ports, the DSU manages timing by slaving ports to the bit rate of another or to its internal clock.

The time of cash flows into and out of projects are used as inputs in financial models such as internal rate of return and net present value.

When the SCC's internal PLL was used to lock to the clock embedded in the LocalTalk serial data stream ( using its FM0 encoding method ) a divide-by-16 setting on the PLL yielded the fastest rate available, namely 230. 4 kbit / s.

it establishes an internal trade barrier, as the local currency cannot be used externally, and allows the area to have a different ( presumably lower ) interest rate than the national currency's — in the Wörgl experiment, a negative interest rate, known as demurrage.

NiMH cells historically had a somewhat higher self-discharge rate ( equivalent to internal leakage ) than NiCd cells.

The internal rate of return ( IRR ) or economic rate of return ( ERR ) is a rate of return used in capital budgeting to measure and compare the profitability of investments.

Unlike return, suspend writes down where it is in the internal generators as well, allowing it to pick up where it left off on the next iteration.

He also described traveling further north, through the Grand Canal to Beijing, but as he neared the capital an internal power struggle among the Yuan Mongols erupted, causing Ibn Battuta and his Hui guides to return to the south coast.

showed that we can use macroscopic oil droplets on a vibrating surface as a model of wave – particle duality — localized droplet creates periodical waves around and interaction with them leads to quantum-like phenomena: interference in double-slit experiment, unpredictable tunneling ( depending in complicated way on practically hidden state of field ) and orbit quantization ( that particle has to ' find a resonance ' with field perturbations it creates — after one orbit, its internal phase has to return to the initial state ).

* December 19 – Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov is permitted to return to Moscow after years of internal exile.

The primary scientific objective of NEAR was to return data on the bulk properties, composition, mineralogy, morphology, internal mass distribution and magnetic field of Eros.

Daimler itself will pay US $ 185 million as a settlement, but the company and its Chinese subsidiary remain subject to a two-year deferred prosecution agreement which requires further cooperation with regulators, adherence to internal controls and meeting other terms before they are required to return to the court room.

Because the internal rate of return is a rate quantity, it is an indicator of the efficiency, quality, or yield of an investment.

An investment is considered acceptable if its internal rate of return is greater than an established minimum acceptable rate of return or cost of capital.

Given a collection of pairs ( time, cash flow ) involved in a project, the internal rate of return follows from the net present value as a function of the rate of return.

A rate of return for which this function is zero is an internal rate of return.

Given the ( period, cash flow ) pairs (, ) where is a positive integer, the total number of periods, and the net present value, the internal rate of return is given by in:

It is equivalent to the internal rate of return of a bond.

The internal energy of an ideal gas depends on temperature only and is independent of pressure or volume.

The aim is to collect a very broad range of physical, chemical, morphological, and structural data for crystals on an encyclopedic scale and to seek all possible useful and revealing correlations of properties with internal structure.

These losses depend on fiber diameter and length, absorption coefficient, the mean value of the loss per internal reflection and last, but not least, on the angular distribution of the incident light.

Lacking reliable data for some of the variables, we are relying on experimental data of about 20 percent internal losses for 1/4-inch long, small ( 5 - 10 M ) diameter fibers.

Some anti-organization Democrats saw in the program an opportunity to end the bitter internal fight within the Democratic party that has been going on for the last three years.

Lincoln's success depended on his reputation as a moderate on the slavery issue, and his strong support for Whiggish programs of internal improvements and the protective tariff.

In some fictional works, the difference between a robot and android is only their appearance, with androids being made to look like humans on the outside but with robot-like internal mechanics.

He asserts that isolated communities relied on raiding for food and supplies, and that internal conflict and warfare became common in the 13th century.

His epistemology can be regarded as primitive materialist empiricism ; he believed that human cognition ought to be based on one's perceptions – one's sensory experiences, such as sight and hearing – instead of imagination or internal logic, elements founded on the human capacity for abstraction.

By some estimates, this might account for most of the internal radiation damage, as the recoil nuclei are typically heavy metals which preferentially collect on the chromosomes.

When the pressure applied on a parcel of air decreases, the air in the parcel is allowed to expand ; as the volume increases, the temperature falls and internal energy decreases.

For an ideal gas, the temperature remains constant because the internal energy only depends on temperature in that case.

Other forms of agate include Lake Superior agate, carnelian agate ( exhibiting reddish hues ), Botswana agate, blue lace agate, plume agates, moss agate, tube agate ( with visible flow channels or pinhole-sized ' tubes '), fortification agate ( which exhibit little or no banding structure ), fire agate ( which has internal flash or ' fire ', the result of a layer of clear agate over a layer of hydrothermally-deposited hematite ), Mexican crazy-lace agate, which often exhibits a brightly colored, complexly banded pattern ( also called Rodeo Agate and Rosetta Stone depending on who owned the mine at the time ).

In 2005, there was internal conflict about whether or not a gag rule should be imposed on ACLU employees to prevent publication of internal disputes.

By using the palette to mask the top area of the display and taking care about when it changes mode it can shift the continuous graphics at the bottom of the display down in two pixel increments because the internal display counter is not incremented on blank scanlines during non-continuous graphics modes.

Much of the story line revolves around various parties attacking or repairing ansibles, and around the internal politics of ISC ( InterStellar Communications ), which holds a monopoly on the ansible technology.

The Aster used 64KB of RAM memory and had the unique feature of supporting two fundamentally different internal architectures: when turned on without a boot floppy or with a TRS-DOS floppy, the Aster would be fully TRS-80 compatible, with 48KB or RAM.

When the boot loader detected a CP / M floppy, the Aster would reconfigure its internal memory architecture on the fly to optimally support CP / M with 60 KB free RAM for programs ( TPA ) and an 80 x 25 display.

The " dual boot mode " BIOS actually discovered whether a TRS-DOS, or Aster CP / M disk was placed in the drive, and would, depending on the type of disk, reorganise the internal memory architecture of the system, to either be 100 % TRS-80 compatible or optimally support CP / M, with as much " workspace " as possible, and the 80x25 video mode.

Based on internal textual references, " Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye " apparently dates from the early 1820s, while When Johnny Comes Marching Home was first published in 1863.

The latter allowed accommodation of a bigger cannon than could be mounted in a turreted tank on the same chassis, and increased the vehicle's internal volume, allowing for increased ammunition stowage and crew comfort.
