Major single actions (e.g. the development of new propulsion systems) as well as small improvements create a significant environmental benefit in total if "environmental economies of scale" are reached through mass production.
Case studies on buildings built according to different design criteria, and at parity of all other conditions, showed that design of low-energy buildings induces both a net benefit in total life cycle energy demand and an increase in the embodied energy.
The in-plane IFM was primary rotational and was better restricted by the new screws compared to the conventional one when the inter-fragmentary compression force was below 15 20 N, but provided no clear benefit in total flexion independently of the compression force.
The strongest finding of this exercise was that, while there was a modest benefit in total life-years gained by treating earlier, the distribution of these years skewed towards milder disease.
According to Freedom of Information requests, the number of people claiming sickness benefit for the primary reason of obesity is very low – only 1,780 people as of May 2014, out of 2.5m who claim the benefits in total.
"This one group of people, the investors, the people that benefit, are in total control," one county recorder warned, according to minutes of the meeting.
He said that the F.D.A. had determined that triclosan provided a benefit in Colgate Total, by fighting gingivitis, where triclosan in soap did not.
But these figures, to be found on DWP's website, in fact represent the change – successful new claims minus those leaving the benefit – in the total DLA caseload from August 2011 to August 2012, crucially including pensioners and children who are not affected by the change from DLA to PIP.
Surface morphology transitions under annealing in the conditions of dewetting provide the benefit in the total energy owing to the strain relaxation, surface and interface energy minimization, intermixing, and structural defect optimization.
In the case of Ge layers on Si(111), it was shown that the porous layer formation, i.e., the layers which contain open windows of the Si substrate, provides the significant benefit in the total energy due to the reduction of SiGe/Si interface energy [16].
While optimal control of outbreaks occurs when vaccine is delivered before the onset of the influenza season, we have shown that the addition of delayed vaccination, occurring after the onset of the outbreak, to pre-season vaccination can also be of substantial benefit in reducing total attack rates.
