Moreover, a common trend of today can be mentioned where the authorities are encouraged to apply efficiency assessment tools, e.g. cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses, for selecting measures in order to maximize the social benefits of public investments [20].
We also present some example results on typical designs, and characterise noise results from a range of typical FMRI acquisitions, in order to allow experimenters to apply efficiency estimation in advance of acquiring data.
Today the problem -- which involves finding the most efficient route among geographical points -- is a key concept in applied efficiency research and is used to direct telescopes, manufacture computer chips, map genomes, speed up video games, and even, Dr. Cook notes, "minimize wallpaper waste".
Sancho) was grown under field conditions to investigate the effects of different nitrogen (N) and irrigation (I) levels on fruit yield, fruit quality, irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) and nitrogen applied efficiency (NAE).
Later, Possingham et al. (2006, p. 520) emphasises the advantages of applying efficiency in reserve design: ' Efficiency is important, because it minimizes the possibility of constructing a reserve system that is too large and expensive to manage.
Energy requirements are then calculated by applying efficiencies of the heat pumps (see Sect. 2.7) and incumbent heating systems, and from these energy requirements, greenhouse gas emissions can be estimated.
Businesses and homeowners who apply energy efficiency measures to reduce consumption can also soon look forward to seeing additional cuts reflected on their electrical bills, Mendez said.
We apply the efficiency frontier method, which was suggested by German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care for cost-effectiveness analysis in Germany.
Assuming a global GPP of ~120 Pg, and applying a carbon use efficiency of 0.58 versus 0.46, yields a difference in estimated global NPP of 14.4 Pg (69.6-55.2).
Moreover, a mathematical model for high efficiency air classifiers was developed by applying the efficiency curve approach.
Even more compelling is the insistence that the state should be overhauled with the same rigor the private sector applies to efficiency and customer satisfaction.
