The measure of combat efficiency in an indecisive campaign is a matter of personal choice.

But it would greatly strengthen any Mayor's executive powers, remove the excuse in large degree that he is a captive of inaction in the Board of Estimate, increase his budget-making authority both as to expense and capital budgets, and vest in him the right to reorganize city departments in the interest of efficiency and economy.

The purpose of the organization is to further the interest of women students in recreational activities as a means of promoting physical efficiency, sportsmanship, and `` play for play's sake ''.

Thus technical efficiency is achieved at the expense of actual experience.

American policy should press constantly the view that until these governments demand efficiency and effectiveness of their bureaucracies there is not the slightest hope that they will either modernize of democratize their societies.

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.

The older scales were based on theoretical estimates of the conversion efficiency of kinetic energy into light.

Specialization is considered key to economic efficiency based on theoretical and empirical considerations.

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.

That endeavor left the newly independent Republic of Kazakhstan a mixed legacy: a population that includes nearly as many Russians as Kazakhs ; the presence of a dominating class of Russian technocrats, who are necessary to economic progress but ethnically unassimilated ; and a well-developed energy industry, based mainly on coal and oil, whose efficiency is inhibited by major infrastructural deficiencies.

Proponents argue that a basic income that is based on a broad tax base, would be more economically efficient, as the minimum wage effectively imposes a high marginal tax on employers, causing losses in efficiency.

:* Polymer properties, synthesis, and characterization, for a specialized understanding of how polymers behave, how they are made, and how they are characterized ; exciting applications of polymers include liquid crystal displays ( LCDs, the displays found in most cell phones, cameras, and iPods ), novel photovoltaic devices based on semiconductor polymers ( which, unlike the traditional silicon solar panels, are flexible and cheap to manufacture, albeit with lower efficiency ), and membranes for room-temperature fuel cells ( as proton exchange membranes ) and filtration systems in the environmental and biomedical fields

In 2003, Milken launched a Washington, D. C .- based think tank called FasterCures, which seeks greater efficiency in researching all serious diseases.

For orthodox Marxists, socialism is the lower stage of communism based on the principle of " from each according to his ability, to each according to his contribution " while upper stage communism is based on the principle of " from each according to his ability, to each according to his need "; the upper stage becoming possible only after the socialist stage further develops economic efficiency and the automation of production has led to a superabundance of goods and services.

Due to the differences, global players have the opportunity to calculate and optimize supply chain based on tax efficiency legally.

The aim is to use air traffic management that is more closely based on desired flight patterns leading to greater safety, efficiency and capacity.

It will organise this airspace uniformly, with air traffic control areas based on operational efficiency, not national borders.

The engine, based on an earlier UAV diesel wankel concept called ' EnduroCORE ', will utilize Wankel rotors of varying sizes on a shared eccentric shaft to increase efficiency.

Basic physiological investigation of these gas exchange processes has yielded valuable carbon isotope based methods that are used for breeding wheat varieties with improved water-use efficiency.

For employee performance management, using integrated software, rather than a spreadsheet based recording system, may deliver a significant return on investment through a range of direct and indirect sales benefits, operational efficiency benefits and by unlocking the latent potential in every employees work day ( i. e. the time they spend not actually doing their job ).

Cost accounting is regarded as the process of collecting, analysing, summarising and evaluating various alternative courses of action involving costs and advising the management on the most appropriate course of action based on the cost efficiency and capability of the management.

Circa stardate 2534. 0 ( 2266 ), in the Original Series episode " Patterns of Force ," cultural observer and historian John Gill openly created a regime based on Nazi Germany on a primitive planet in a misguided effort to create a society which combined what he ( mistakenly ) viewed as the high efficiency of a fascist dictatorship with a more benign philosophy, thereby contaminating the normal and healthy development of the planet's culture.

This is in contrast with the efficiency hypothesis that states that a firms performance is based on how well and efficiently it produces its product for the consumer.

LED drivers based on the PAM technique offer improved energy efficiency over systems based upon other common driver modulation techniques such as pulse-width modulation ( PWM ) as the forward current passing through an LED is relative to the intensity of the light output and the LED efficiency increases as the forward current is reduced.

Most animals use a variety of gaits, selecting gait based on speed, terrain, the need to maneuver, and energetic efficiency.

" The exhibits were based on the stock list of the Council of Industrial Design ( CoID ), chosen for appearance, finish, workmanship, technical efficiency, fitness for purpose and economy of production.
