Once again, GM's engineers, spurred on by Dennis Mooney, the company's executive director for vehicle integration, hope to make displacement on demand work by using a microprocessor to take the pulse of the engine thousands of times a second, and then make adjustments so swiftly and subtly that the driver has no idea how many cylinders are firing at any particular moment.
Most previous research on the relation between computer use and school achievement has been guided by content theories, but the lack of firm empirical support together with unexpected findings of negative effects on achievement has made displacement theories more popular in recent research.
As with any flushing technology, the success of soil washing with micellar solutions depends in a very large part on the ability of the solution to contact the contaminant (sweep efficiency) and then on the efficiency of contaminant removal once this contact is made (displacement efficiency).
For oblique incidence (see Figures 8b and9b), the shielding effect of the valley makes the displacement amplitudes near the upper right corner of the valley (x1 = 1 km) smaller than those of direct waves.
For example, larger organizations have greater capacity and resources which makes crime displacement a more likely threat to prevention; the opposite is also true where an occasional criminal with a simple, small offender organization could be deterred by just a stern warning or a simple overt packaging countermeasure.
