Better terms of trade allow a country to export less for any given quantity of imports, or import more for any given quantity of exports.
Boyle's law says that pressure and volume are inversely related for a given quantity of gas.
Usually, for a given quantity of resources, we will do more good if we help those who are worst off, because they have the greatest unmet needs.
Over the years, as the technology of such models has improved, they have been converting a given quantity of gas to larger and larger amounts of electricity.
Contracts can also be arranged on a lump-sum basis, when an owner agrees to ship a given quantity of a stated cargo from one port to another for a stated sum of money.
The ballistic pendulum, invented by the English mathematician Benjamin Robins, provided a means of measuring muzzle velocity and, hence, of accurately gauging the effective power of a given quantity of powder.
The same quality of sugar which exchanged, twenty years ago, for a given quantity of manufactures, iron or hardware, will now command at least three times the quantity of those articles.
By incorporating deuterium and tritium into the core of the fissile material, a higher yield is obtained from a given quantity of fissile material or, alternatively, the same yield is achieved with a smaller amount.
Thus, while the supply of these great necessaries is limited to a given quantity, the chief effect of increased production at home is to lower its exchangeable value for the article of which the quantity is fixed.
This empirical relation, formulated by the physicist Robert Boyle in 1662, states that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant.
His attempted proof introduced essentially the modern condition for continuity of a function f at a point x: f(x + h) − f(x) can be made smaller than any given quantity, provided h can be made arbitrarily close to zero.
