And despite the industry's boasts about technical progress, a new A320 delivered next year will be only marginally more efficient than one delivered in 1988.
That "cash for clunkers" subsidy is intended to increase vehicle sales, prop up the faltering American auto industry and make the nation's car and truck fleet marginally more efficient.
Many of us baulk at denying each person's individuality, at stereotyping whole classes of people, even if it might make our police and intelligence services marginally more efficient.
South Africa, the arch apostles of pragmatism, deserved their win, their second Webb Ellis Cup, five goals to two, an old-style, tryless grind that failed to excite, not because they were that much a better side but because they were marginally more efficient, and just as stubborn.
For two branches, even a full PB-HGM is marginally more efficient than an ESA-HM and only slightly more complex than a PBSA-HGM.
It was found that the vertical flow system was marginally more efficient in treating the pollutants when compared to horizontal flow system.
Higher doses of caffeine also led to a marginally less efficient allocation of visual attention towards cued regions during task performance (i.e., orienting).
If we try to pursue the same ends in the same ways we always have, but with marginally more efficient technologies, we will never satisfactorily resolve the conflict between energy needs and environmental concerns.
Working to make facility components marginally more efficient, when the driver of data center power consumption is the increasing numbers of servers and storage, misses the root cause of data center energy consumption growth.
Exact likelihood calculations provided a mechanism to quantify the resolving power of the panel, which is far superior to the 19 SNP panel and only marginally less efficient than choosing 500 SNPs with high minor allele frequency uniformly distributed across the genome, a procedure used in the many extended pedigrees projects in our lab (data not shown).
