It can be used in mathematical or scientific contexts when discussing the multiplication or adjustment of a quantity by a specific factor.
Example: "To calculate the new price, we are applying a factor of 1.2 to the original cost."
Alternatives: "multiplying by" or "using a factor of".
Applying a factor of 1.15 times, the energy released in the long-term SSE from 1996 would be equivalent to an earthquake of Mw 6.7 assuming a rigidity of 40 GPa.
Carbon flux estimations from field data (e.g. aboveground net primary productivity ANPP) which were given in units of tons organic dry matter (tODM), were converted into units of mega gram carbon (Mg C) by applying a factor of 0.44 (Larcher 2001).
Applying a factor of 5 to account for the assumed higher toxicity of traffic related exposure to particulate matter less than 2.5 µm 14 increased all cause mortality to 0.52 people each year (see web extra table 5).
Since 10-year revision rates in the registries are on average 1.7 times higher than 5-year revision rates, any missing 10-year results were estimated on 5-year results by applying a factor of 1.7.
This is the maximum capacity: the average annual capacity can be calculated by applying a factor of 0.56, which corresponds to the following assumptions: heat is delivered to the district heating system during a period of time equivalent to 4,500 hours of the maximum annual capacity.
In the clinical model, the shrinkage is performed by applying a factor of 0.92 to all four regression coefficients: the small amount of shrinkage necessary to move the average predicted curve close to the observed one reveals the relatively small effect of the overfitting issue in a model constructed with low-dimensional predictors.
We applied a factor of 2.5 and 1.5 to our low- and high-speed COT, respectively47.
The approach of applying of a factor of 5,000 to the TD05 to estimate the NCRI is discussed in greater detail in Kuiper-Goodman (2004).
