A pressure ratio across the valve that is favourable to inflow is maintained and maximized when the open period of the valve is such to allow at least, but no more than, one complete oscillation of the pressure at its resonant frequency to occur while the valve is open.
Starting in the left hand corner of the model in Figure 1 and going clockwise, medication side effects from HAART (eg, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease); unhealthy lifestyle choices (eg, smoking, substance abuse); and increased multi-morbidity with HIV compromise the components of maintaining and maximizing cognitive and physical functioning and the prevention of disease and disability.

Still, the relationship demonstrated here suggests that maintaining (and preferably maximizing) cover of biocrusts could provide a tool for minimizing annual grass invasion in the Great Basin.
A value chain is proposed for propagating the tolerances from the customer domain through the functional, physical, and process domains while maintaining independence and maximizing the probability of success (axioms one and two).
Healthy eating, such as the regular inclusion of fruits and vegetables in one's diet, is essential for maintaining optimal weight, maximizing brain and immune system functioning, and reducing the risk for disease.
Under federal law, it has two equal objectives — maintaining price stability and maximizing employment — although those two goals have at times been difficult to reconcile.
