Indeed, as noted in a 2007 UNICEF report, 'Children and Climate Change', environmental problems such as land degradation and desertification potentially make all of the Millennium Development Goals less achievable – slowing efforts to eradicate poverty, improve health and protect the environment.
The lives of hundreds of soldiers and marines have been saved, and their tasks made more achievable, by the efforts of the American automotive industry.
For although the elimination campaign put research funding on the back burner, it did, with its promise of an achievable goal, galvanise efforts in the clinic and the surgery.
A similar reduction in the manufacturing cost of small wind turbines is probably not achievable, but significant efforts can be made in this direction.
Since every radiation dose, no matter how low, is assumed to increase risk, and that those risks are additive, this assumption leads to practices such as ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) where large efforts are made to reduce dose below levels where there is no demonstrable risk, and even to levels below natural background.
This design will improve the statistical reliability of the resulting point estimates of upstream escapement relative to that achievable with a systematic effort with no overall change in total sampling effort over the course of the migration period.
In this situation, some individuals may disengage from their initial goal, accepting that the goal is no longer desirable, appropriate, or achievable, and discontinue their efforts to achieve the goal.
When it comes to motivation and our personal victories, we rarely set realistic and achievable goals in our effort to accomplish something big in our lives -- weight loss, a new degree, a lifestyle change, a major project -- and then we don't accept the moments when we hit a plateau along the way.
In a short statement, ISS said it is confident that HP and Compaq's integration efforts are achievable, that cost savings of $2.5 billion are achievable and that HP's revenue-loss projections of 5% are reasonable.
The development of new sensors and imaging systems undoubtedly will continue to improve our ability to phenotype very large experiments or breeding nurseries, with the core FBP abilities achievable through strong interdisciplinary efforts that assemble and adapt existing technologies in novel ways.
