Productivity, a gauge of employee efficiency, advanced at an annual rate of 1.8percentt after a revised 0.7percentt gain in the previous three months, the Labor Department said Tuesday.
The decline in the foremost Government gauge of workplace efficiency followed a 4.3percentt productivity increase the first three months of 1986, when automobile plants and other manufacturers built up large inventories.
But between mid-2004 and the end of 2006, the growth in business output per hour outside agriculture, the most common gauge of worker efficiency, slowed to an annual rate of just 1.5%, on average.
Data centres tend to use the power usage effectiveness standard (PUE), a metric developed by The Green Grid to gauge the efficiency of computer facilities.
The total distance moved by all nodes involved in the recovery: This gauges the efficiency of RECRA in terms of the motion-related overhead, e.g., dissipated energy during recovery.
The degradation of dyes is a common means of gauging the efficiency for photocatalysis[20].
However the methodology of algorithmic analysis is different from that of computational complexity theory in that primary emphasis is placed on gauging the efficiency of various specific algorithms for solving a given problem.
Another limitation was considering the number of articles as the main gauge for the efficiency of knowledge networks, and we ignored other aspects of knowledge networks such as capacity building and their effect on decision making.
Here, we compared the performance of a sample adults diagnosed with childhood-onset ADHD and healthy controls on two experimental measures gauging the efficiency of cognitive control processes in overriding distractability to task-irrelevant features (i.e. Stroop test) and the flexible coordination of multiple task-sets in the face of distraction (i.e. task switching paradigm).
The huge increase in China's labour productivity in recent years is partly due to heavy investment rather than true efficiency gains.A better gauge of an economy's use of resources is "total factor productivity" (TFP), which tries to assess the efficiency with which both capital and labour are used.
