* At Corby, the closure of the former Stewarts & Lloyds site in the early 1980s saw the loss of 11, 000 jobs, leading to an initial unemployment rate of over 30 %.

Here k is first-order rate constant having dimension 1 / time, ( t ) is concentration at a time t and < sub > 0 </ sub > is the initial concentration.

While the rate of growth varies by region, time of year and gender, Zug and Zug found an average initial growth rate of per day, followed by an average rate of per day.

Beyond the initial increase in distortion, lower bit rate codecs also achieve their lower bit rates by using more complex algorithms that make certain assumptions, such as those about the media and the packet loss rate.

where is the concentration of excited state molecules at time, is the initial concentration and is the decay rate or the inverse of the fluorescence lifetime.

In cases where the geometric mean is being used to determine the average growth rate of some quantity, and the initial and final values and of that quantity are known, the product of the measured growth rate at every step need not be taken.

The new M1893 guns featured six barrels, and were capable of a maximum ( initial ) rate of fire of 800-900 rounds per minute.

The initial clock rate of the 80186 was 6 MHz, but due to more hardware available for the microcode to use, especially for address calculation, many individual instructions ran faster than on an 8086 at the same clock frequency.

Among the indicators that might be used to establish an initial minimum wage rate are ones that minimize the loss of jobs while preserving international competitiveness.

This decay process is at a much slower rate than the initial de-excitation and is dependent on unique half-life of the radioactive nucleus.

These initial attempts were accompanied by a high mortality rate due to the rigors and stress of traveling thousands of miles by boat and by train.

From an initial design point of view, engineers often use a quantity termed the specific speed to identify the most suitable pump type for a particular combination of flow rate and head.

During Japan's initial conquest it captured of oil (~ 5. 5 × 10 < sup > 5 </ sup > tonnes ) left behind by retreating Allied forces, and by 1943 was able to get production in the Dutch East Indies up to, 76 percent of its 1940 output rate.

Although production was cancelled in 1996, seven low rate initial

The discount is usually associated with a discount rate, which is also called the discount yield .< Ref Name =" Economics_Discount "/> The discount yield is simply the proportional share of the initial amount owed ( initial liability ) that must be paid to delay payment for 1 year.

In an initial experiment, subjects had to rate another person on the introversion-extroversion personality dimension on the basis of an interview.

The rate of the gas phase exchange reaction appears to be proportional to the first power of the absorbed light intensity indicating that the radical intermediates are removed at the walls or by reaction with an impurity rather than by bimolecular radical combination reactions.

-- Although there was some variation in results which must be attributed either to trace impurities or to variation in wall effects, the photochemical exchange in the gas phase was sufficiently reproducible so that it seemed meaningful to compare the reaction rates in different series of reaction tubes for the purpose of obtaining information on the effect of chlorine concentration and of carbon tetrachloride concentration on the reaction rate.

Seeing a sublime view of a landscape may give us a reaction of awe, which might manifest physically as an increased heart rate or widened eyes.

By lowering the activation energy, the enzyme speeds up that reaction by a rate of 10 < sup > 11 </ sup > or more: a reaction that would normally take over 3, 000 years to complete spontaneously might take less than a second with an enzyme.

Usually, this state results when the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reaction.

However, the law of mass action is valid only for concerted one-step reactions that proceed through a single transition state and is not valid in general because rate equations do not, in general, follow the stoichiometry of the reaction as Guldberg and Waage had proposed ( see, for example, nucleophilic aliphatic substitution by S < sub > N </ sub > 1 or reaction of hydrogen and bromine to form hydrogen bromide ).

Catalysis is the change in rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of a substance called a catalyst.

Catalytic reactions have a lower rate-limiting free energy of activation than the corresponding uncatalyzed reaction, resulting in higher reaction rate at the same temperature.

Kinetically, catalytic reactions are typical chemical reactions ; i. e. the reaction rate depends on the frequency of contact of the reactants in the rate-determining step.

The rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.

As a catalyst is regenerated in a reaction, often only small amounts are needed to increase the rate of the reaction.

The catalyst may increase reaction rate or selectivity, or enable the reaction at lower temperatures.

In the catalyzed elementary reaction, catalysts do not change the extent of a reaction: they have no effect on the chemical equilibrium of a reaction because the rate of both the forward and the reverse reaction are both affected ( see also thermodynamics ).

South Viet Nam has received $1,450,000,000 in United States aid since 1954 and the rate of assistance has been stepped up since Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson's visit last May.

Common complaints included `` Mrs. Murphy '' leaving her windows open all the time, a fresh air fan, or the family was visiting `` Aunt Minnie '' with the house shut up but they still paid the same rate for oil.

In the majority of countries, however, the rates range from $3.00 to $3.50 a day for the smaller sedans and graduate up to $7.00 and $8.00 a day for the larger, luxury European models, with the rate per kilometer driven starting at $.03 and going up as high as $.12.

Rates for American cars are somewhat higher, ranging from about $8.00 a day up to $14.00 a day for a Chevrolet Convertible, but the rate per kilometer driven is roughly the same as for the larger European models.

Although the tape was run for over 1 hr., a steady state was not reached, and it was concluded that the reason for this was that the back pressure of the manometer was built up from the material fed from between the blocks and this was available at a very slow rate.

During the Sixties we have the prospect of a significant stepping up in the rate of household formations, which should contribute to a rising volume of consumer expenditures and home building.

We are abstracting from the fact of strikes here, but it should be obvious that the extent to which the public-limit price is raised by a given increase in the basic wage rate is also a function of the show of resistance put up by the industry.

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.

At any rate, Manchester did not lag far behind the first commercial system which was set up in 1844 between Baltimore and Washington.

To say this, of course, is to take up a position on one side of a controversy going on now for some two hundred years, or, at any rate, since the beginning of the distinctively modern period in theological thought.

In many cases, rate enhancements methods may be used to speed up the generation of messages.

According to a World Bank official, a country that has around 12 percent rate of growth or even lower, at the range of 7 to 8 percent, can afford a level of public debt of up to 50 percent.

*** Variable frame rate ( up to 75 frames / second )

A review of the methods used in trials of antipsychotics, despite stating that the overall quality is " rather good ," reported issues with the selection of participants ( including that in schizophrenia trials up to 90 % of people who are generally suitable do not meet the elaborate inclusion and exclusion criteria, and that negative symptoms have not been properly assessed despite companies marketing the newer antipsychotics for these ); issues with the design of trials ( including pharmaceutical company funding of most of them, and inadequate experimental " blinding " so that trial participants could sometimes tell whether they were on placebo or not ); and issues with the assessment of outcomes ( including the use of a minimal reduction in scores to show " response ," lack of assessment of quality of life or recovery, a high rate of discontinuation, selective highlighting of favorable results in the abstracts of publications, and poor reporting of side-effects ).

" Addressing the faster rate at which defenders could reinforce an area than attackers could penetrate it during the First World War, Guderian wrote that " since reserve forces will now be motorized, the building up of new defensive fronts is easier than it used to be ; the chances of an offensive based on the timetable of artillery and infantry co-operation are, as a result, even slighter today than they were in the last war.

Its trade deficit has been increasing at a large rate since 1997 ( See chart ) and increased by 49. 8 billion dollars between 2005 and 2006, setting a record high of 817. 3 billion dollars, up from 767. 5 billion dollars the previous year.

In a general sense, anything that increases the rate of a process is a " catalyst ", a term derived from Greek καταλύειν, meaning " to annul ," or " to untie ," or " to pick up.

Certain ratios of these materials will provide beneficial bacteria with the nutrients to work at a rate that will heat up the pile.

Beginning in fall 2007, the project will inject CO < sub > 2 </ sub > at the rate of one million tons per year, for up to 1. 5 years, into brine up to below the land surface near the Cranfield oil field about east of Natchez, Mississippi.

The population's rate of growth was a relatively high 3. 5 percent per annum in the mid 1980s, up substantially from 2. 0 percent in the mid-1970s and 2. 1 percent in the mid-1960s.
