One of the greatest obstacles to the achievement of this goal is the lack of trained men and women with the skill to teach the young and assist in the operation of development projects -- men and women with the capacity to cope with the demands of swiftly evolving economics, and with the dedication to put that capacity to work in the villages, the mountains, the towns and the factories of dozens of struggling nations.

But nighttime operation by stations of other classes of course entails skywave interference to groundwave service, interference which is substantial unless steps are taken to minimize it.

For this first development the supplier signing the lease is a major oil company but in turn the deal is being transferred for operation to its local fueloil distributor.

We assume that average total unit cost in the relevant region of operation is constant with respect to quantity produced ( the average cost curve is horizontal, and therefore is identical with the marginal cost curve ), and is the same for every firm ( and therefore for the industry ).

A tax-free reorganization not complying with the merger or consolidation statutes of the states involved is difficult to fit into an `` operation of law '' mold.

The impact of noncompliance under the Wagner-Peyser Act is clear: the withdrawal of some $11 million a year of administrative funds which finance our employment service program or, as a corollary, the taking over by the Federal Government of its operation.

Hence P is the increase in value of the stream minus the cost of operation, that is, the net profit.

the startling statement in a respectable periodical that `` Catholics, if the present system is still in operation, will constitute almost one-third of the House of Lords in the next generation '' ; ;

* It is useful to define gcd ( 0, 0 ) = 0 and lcm ( 0, 0 ) = 0 because then the natural numbers become a complete distributive lattice with gcd as meet and lcm as join operation.

This is a very useful property in many situations, as it means that an operation can be repeated or retried as often as necessary without causing unintended effects.

The Germans were keen to get some sort of useful ground-based anti-aircraft system into operation.

Energy storage is accomplished by devices or physical media that store energy to perform useful operation at a later time.

Exponentiation to the power of zero can also be defined if the operation has an identity element, so the existence of identity elements becomes especially useful in power-associative contexts.

Nevertheless, this technology has proven useful in managing and running a cattle breeding operation.

They are also useful when fast startup times, small file sizes, editing speed and simplicity of operation are preferred over formatting.

The clean-up operation was seen by the then Deputy Prime Minister Michael Heseltine as an investment that would add a large area of useful land to the crowded capital.

Computer simulation has become a useful part of modeling many natural systems in physics, chemistry and biology, and human systems in economics and social science ( the computational sociology ) as well as in engineering to gain insight into the operation of those systems.

Additionally, the semicolon stands for a NOP ( no operation or null command ) in C / C ++, useful in busy waiting synchronization loops.

VAD is always implicitly activated when encoding in VBR, so the option is only useful in non-VBR operation.

Towards the end of the 16th century, Hieronymus Fabricius ( 1533 – 1619 ) described a useful technique for tracheotomy in his writings, although he had never actually performed the operation himself.

The information from the Stargate Project remote viewing sessions was vague and included a lot of irrelevant and erroneous data, it was never useful in any intelligence operation, and project managers changed the reports so they would fit background cues.

Should Germany have adequate reinforcements available to defend both Rome and the Gustav Line, the Allies felt that the operation would nevertheless be useful in engaging forces which could otherwise be committed on another front.

Towards the end of the 16th century, anatomist and surgeon Hieronymus Fabricius ( 1533 – 1619 ) described a useful technique for tracheotomy in his writings, although he had never actually performed the operation himself.

This gives additional capacity which is especially useful at galas, where up to six trains may be in operation at any one time.

Snapshots can be useful for backing up self-consistent versions of volatile data like table files from a busy database, or for rolling back large changes ( such as an operating system upgrade ) in a single operation.

Computer simulations have become a useful part of mathematical modelling of many natural systems in physics, and computational physics, chemistry and biology ; human systems in economics, psychology, and social science ; and in the process of engineering and new technology, to gain insight into the operation of those systems, or to observe their behavior.

In all cases, the underlying principle is that physical effects caused by the operation of a cryptosystem ( on the side ) can provide useful extra information about secrets in the system, for example, the cryptographic key, partial state information, full or partial plaintexts and so forth.

Zeppelins had a typical carrying capacity of almost 9 metric tons, making them useful enough for this operation.

These fission products are important to the operation of the reactor because some fission products contribute delayed neutrons that are useful for reactor control while others are neutron poisons that tend to inhibit the nuclear reaction.

Running from the bottom of the list ( petrol buses ) to the top ( rapid transit ) all-four represents increasing capital-construction and infrastructure-maintenance costs balanced by increasing system capacity, speed of operation, operating efficiency and vehicle durability in terms of maintenance and useful life.

Former Deputy U. S. Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz called it " a very successful tactical operation " and said " such strikes are useful not only in killing terrorists but in forcing al-Qaeda to change its tactics ".

Yahalom also uses the up-armored IDF Caterpillar D9 bulldozer and the remote-controlled " Raam HaShachar " version of the D9 ( which were found extremely useful for special operation and CT duties ), an armored Excavator with drills, the IDF Puma CEV, and Nakpuma, a Nakpadon APC modified to Yahalom's requirements.
