efficiency grows as the number of factors increases.

In some areas where a number of artist share the impermanence ideal, there grows an informal competition.

For a " well-behaved " set X, the Hausdorff dimension is the unique number d such that N ( r ) grows as 1 / r < sup > d </ sup > as r approaches zero.

With many devices on one line the workload in servicing interrupts grows in proportion to the square of the number of devices.

However, as the number of users grows on eBay, auctions grow more competitive, pushing up the prices of bids on items.

Essentially, as the number of users of eBay grows, prices fall and supply increases, and more and more people find the site to be useful.

The theory goes that as the number of editors grows, the quality of information on the website improves, encouraging more users to turn to it as a source of information ; some of the new users in turn become editors, continuing the process.

For example, finding a particular number in a long list of numbers becomes harder as the list of numbers grows larger.

We thus say that in order to solve this problem, the computer needs to perform a number of steps that grows linearly in the size of the problem.

Since the amplitude at these reflections grows linearly with the number N of scatterers, the observed intensity of these spots should grow quadratically, like N < sup > 2 </ sup >.

For example, the possible interactions between groups of molecules grows enormously with the number of molecules such that it is impossible for a computer to even list the arrangements for a system as small as 20 molecules.

This causes scaling problems, since the number of required connections grows quadratically with the number of routers involved.

random variables with power law tail distributions decreasing as where ( and therefore having infinite variance ) will tend to an alpha-stable distribution with stability parameter ( or index of stability ) of α as the number of variables grows.

As the number of coupled harmonic oscillators grows, the time it takes to transfer energy from one to the next becomes significant.

Conductivity grows with the fourth power of diameter, so increased diameter has huge rewards ; vessel elements, consisting of a number of cells, joined at their ends, overcame this limit and allowed larger tubes to form, reaching diameters of up to 500 μm, and lengths of up to 10 m.

Because the total number of possible cladograms grows factorially with the number of species, it is impractical for a computer program to evaluate every individual cladogram.

After 2008, the number grows rapidly.

The expected number of swaps grows faster than the expected number of comparisons, because if the elements are not in order, this will usually be discovered after only a few comparisons no matter how many elements there are, but the work of shuffling the collection is proportional to its size.

Professionals may also differ in actual strength for a number of reasons, such as promotion not keeping up with actual gains in strength, or the fact that professional ranks ( unlike kyu or amateur dan ) may rise, but never fall ( even if the player grows weaker ).

As the number of degrees of freedom grows, the t-distribution approaches the normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

A number of modern ventriloquists have developed a following as the public taste for live comedy grows.

Fulton was a very close friend of Jackson, and had been his private secretary for a number of years in the old days.

and it is still very far from certain how valid the party's claim is that in `` a growing number of kolkhozes '' the peasants are finding it more profitable, to surrender their private plots to the kolkhoz and to let the latter be turned into something increasingly like a state farm.

The Peace Corps can either begin in very low gear, with only preparatory work undertaken between now and when Congress finally appropriates special funds for it -- or it can be launched now and in earnest by executive action, with sufficient funds and made available from existing Mutual Security appropriations to permit a number of substantial projects to start this summer.

Thus, in the last few years, a number of programs which looked very promising at the time their development was commenced have since been completely eliminated.

Since broadcast frequencies are very limited in number, these objectives are to some extent inconsistent in that not all of them can be fully realized, and to the extent that each is realized, there is a corresponding reduction of the possibilities for fullest achievement of the others.

However, whether you arrange to have a European or American model, if you rent a car with the proper seating capacity in relation to the number of people in your party, your transportation expense will average very close to $10.00 per day per passenger.

The differentiation, however, is not very much greater, as shown by the fact that Athabascan shows 3.46 stems per meaning slot as against 2.75 for Yokuts, with a slightly greater number of languages represented in our sample: 24 as against 21.

Mr. Alexander H. Wheelan's Study Helps In Point And Figure Technique tells the readers: `` We assure you that the total number of people using this method of market analysis is a very small portion of the sum total of those operating in the securities and commodities markets ''.

I am very pleased that quite a number of you found ways to communicate to me your desire to hear of our reactions and experiences in the U.S.S.R..

If we thus spent our very first day in the midst of a large number of your people honoring a new hero and a great national achievement, our last day, to us at least, was equally impressive and very moving, even though the crowds were absent and there was almost complete silence.

If all the operating variables were varied simultaneously, Af operations would be required to do the same job, and as R increases this increases very much more rapidly than the number of operations required by the dynamic program.

We know that the number of radio and television impulses, sound waves, ultra-violet rays, etc., that may occupy the very same space, each solitary upon its own frequency, is infinite.

London explains that the very distinct directional effect in the Phase 4 series is due in large part to their novel methods of microphoning and recording the music on a number of separate tape channels.

However, while Apollo has a great number of appellations in Greek myth, only a few occur in Latin literature, chief among them Phoebus ( ; Φοίβος, Phoibos, literally " radiant "), which was very commonly used by both the Greeks and Romans in Apollo's role as the god of light.

Many blind people find this number machine a very useful tool throughout life.

The number of neutrons, N, is known as the neutron number of the atom ; thus, A = Z + N. Since protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass ( and the mass of the electrons is negligible for many purposes ), and the mass defect is usually very small compared to the mass, the atomic mass of an atom is roughly equal to A.

A very small number of his instruments survive, dated between the years of 1560 and 1574 and most bearing the coat of arms of Charles IX of France.

This number is easy to remember and, when called, will read back your number after a very short message.

Of the capabilities present in the BBC Micro but absent from the Electron, the teletext-style mode 7 was particularly conspicuous because of the very low memory usage in that mode ( just less than 1 kB ) and the high number of BBC programs that used it.

The relatively small number of atomic absorption lines ( compared to atomic emission lines ) and their narrow width ( a few pm ) make spectral overlap rare ; there are only very few examples known that an absorption line from one element will overlap with another.

Henry Moseley's work showed experimentally in 1913 ( see Moseley's law ) that the effective nuclear charge was very close to the atomic number ( Moseley found only one unit difference ), and Moseley referenced only the papers of Van den Broek and Rutherford.

Because the differences between the prices are likely to be small ( and not to last very long ), this can be done profitably only with computers examining a large number of prices and automatically exercising a trade when the prices are far enough out of balance.
