The Earthwatch Institute says that if China's 1.3 billion people consumed at the same rate as Americans, global production of steel, paper and cars would have to double, oil output would need to rise by 20m barrels per day and miners would have to dig an extra 5bn tonnes of coal.
Perversely, pills of a higher "quality" could end up being more dangerous, if consumed at the same rate as lower purity MDMA.
Cholesterol was assumed to be consumed at the same rate that it was created in order to avoid accumulation.
Glycogen, the carbohydrate energy reserve, was consumed at the same rate in both cell types during the first 4 hours but depleted in C/EBPα-silenced cells at later time points (Supporting Fig. S4A), possibly due to lower basal levels.
β-Pinene and isobutylene was consumed at almost the same rate, suggesting that the two monomers exhibit almost equal reactivity.
Thus, in SOFC mode, suitably designed MIEC electrolyte cells consume fuel at the same rate, deliver the same power and release the same amount of joule heat as purely ion conducting electrolyte cells.
At each glutamine availability, normal and transformed cells consumed glutamine at the same rate.
Similarly, in SOEC mode, MIEC electrolyte cells consume water vapor at the same rate, generate hydrogen at the same rate, consume the same electrical power and release the same joule heat as purely ionic conducting electrolyte cells.
During steady-state analysis, each internal metabolite in the network is produced and consumed at the same net rate, so that there is no accumulation of internal metabolites.
Due to the experimental bioassays conditions we cannot be sure that all individual larvae consume Cry toxin at the same rate and in the same amount.
