The same principle applies to copying what others are measuring: a competitor measuring X doesn't necessarily make it a good reason for you to measure X too.
All these performance figures from Qualcomm are for sustained performance, rather than peak performance the metric by which many of its competitors measure their performance numbers.
Ramsayer et al. (2011) used the same species of bacterium to investigate the impacts of competition from another bacterial species and of nutrient concentrations on the adherence to Taylor's law of each competitor, and measured impacts on an ecological time scale (24 h) of, at most, a few generations.
By varying the concentration of the competitor and measuring the retention time of the analyte, one can calculate its affinity.
To confirm these physiological data, the uptake of (C) glucose in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of xylose, as a potential transport competitor, was measured.
Using base pair concentrations of 56 and 112 μM for the sonicated calf thymus DNA (equivalent to 2 and 4 μM, respectively, for 28 bp DNA) as a competitor, we measured the target search kinetics of Egr-1 at 150 mM KCl. Figure 3 shows the dependence of measured kapp constants on protein concentration.
In business as in the military, great leaders succeed by relying on values, protecting constituents, developing a clear vision, identifying competitors' weaknesses, measuring actions and establishing tried and true leadership tactics.
One example is Federated Department Stores CEO Terry Lundgren, whose salary rose 20% to $10,958,453 while the company's income growth fell 34% below that of its peers, and 8% below competitors when measured by return on equity.
Unlike competitor Tweetmeme, which measures trends and hot topics by links and is also adding innovative features, Twitscoop measure trends by keyword.
Bolt's greatness as a competitor will be measured out in medals and times.
