Moreover, vectors derived from both the individual mean and genus mean for the Loricariinae genera Loricaria and Pseudoloricaria were N-depleted and C-enriched, and these genera have also been reported to consume fractions of allochthonous plant material (e.g., seeds, fruits, leaves, and flowers) in addition to detritus (see Additional file 1: Table S1).
Udall said, "Efforts to improve water efficiency in agriculture almost always lead to increases in the consumed fraction.
Again, the consumed fraction of aboveground biomass varies with vegetation type [21, 25].
Again, the consumed fraction of aboveground biomass varies with vegetation type [ 21, 25].
The devices work at such short range -- from pocket to ear -- that they consume a fraction of the power required by, say, a cordless phone.
Surplus energy is stored in a small lithium-ion battery and allows an LED reading lamp to run for up to 50 hours without drawing on the Kindle's own battery.Both the Kindle and the Rukus have frugal monochrome E Ink displays that consume a fraction of the power of the colourful LCD screens found on most gadgets.
To compete with the light output of a single 60-watt incandescent bulb that emits about 800 lumens (a measure of light power as perceived by the human eye), companies such as LED Lighting Fixtures and Permlight of Southern California are designing lamps based on clusters of white LEDs that achieve a similar lumen output, but consume a fraction of the power.
Since they consume a fraction of the power of conventional light bulbs, last longer and avoid some of the drawbacks of compact fluorescents, the first-generation alternative, LEDs are expected eventually to become the norm for all sorts of lighting; the market is growing by 65% a year.
Using a combination of hardware and software, Santa Clara-based Transmeta has built Crusoe, a brand of Intel-compatible chips that consume a fraction of the power required by similar processors from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
And, not surprisingly, Danish households consume a fraction of the power that we do.
Most biological pretreatments employ lignin-degrading fungi belonging to the group of white-rot basidiomycetes [ 14, 15] but such pretreatments require long application periods and consume a fraction of the plant polysaccharides.
