In that scene — 'Swearengen!' 'Cocksucker!' — we understand how provisional the meaning of a word is and that its fundamental meaning is contingent upon the energy with which it's endowed by the speaker.
These results support the hypothesis that cycling and conception in chimpanzees are contingent upon high energy balance, and they indicate that the availability of fruit is a key variable limiting reproductive performance in chimpanzees.
Fourth, lower VTOL emissions, enabled largely by DEP, are not strongly contingent on advances in energy storage.
Modeling commodity prices is a crucial step to valuate contingent claims related to energy markets and to optimize storage or extraction strategies.
However, the effectiveness of wind energy is contingent on the temperature of the pond, as the required energy to reduce 1° of pond temperature increases with increasing temperature of the pond (Marais 1966).
Battery Life is a stop-motion short that takes place in a desolate and severe robot universe where life is contingent upon a cryptic energy source referred to only as "the current".
In other words, wind and solar energies are contingent upon the weather, which means that they must be firmed up with generation that can kick on in a moment's notice -- typically a fast-starting natural gas plant.
Would it not be more prudent to make opening this sensitive area to drilling contingent on formulating a responsible energy plan for the day when this oil is gone?
Therefore, in this study, we estimate the social value of nuclear energy-consumers' willingness-to-pay for nuclear energy—using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and suggest that the social value of nuclear energy increases approximately 68.5% with the provision of adequate information about nuclear energy to the public.
The quantum adiabatic algorithm may give us similar results, contingent upon the existence of an energy gap that decreases polynomially with the input.
