The two-times Tour de France winner's performances in independent laboratory tests were at the upper limits attainable for humans, scientists reported, although physiologists consulted by the Guardian said that conclusion is hardly a surprise, given that Froome takes part in the toughest endurance event in sport.
In this article1 we explore the angular resolution limits attainable in small FDIRC designs taking advantage of the new highly pixelated detectors that are now available.
The upper limit found represents a tight upper bound attainable by an appropriate, but for now unknown, algorithm.
Also, the half-aperture transmit leads to a decrease in the transmit power and may severely limit the attainable SNR.
This should especially be true for smaller particles where alignment errors can severely limit the attainable resolution (Henderson et al., 2011).
Yet, the role of other proposed effects, such as a limit on attainable mitochondrial respiration [ 26] and available oxygen [ 23], cannot be excluded and, therefore, should be subject to further studies.
In this case, changes that would normally result in vertical shifting could manifest instead as leakage, as the high end of the curve ran into the upper limit of attainable rates while the low end continued to shift up and down.
In intermittent motion systems the moving mass should be minimized, because it limits the attainable acceleration and thus the throughput speed.
In particular, the correlation of the temporal evolution of the ellipsometric thickness with the decrease in bromine content pointed to a progressive loss of active chain ends, which limits the attainable maximum brush thickness.
