There is also a Levantine tinge to negotiating: everything is up for bargaining, loyalty to family and clan can trump merit and efficiency, and preserving honor may be more important than tangible results.
As half-Heusler compounds are promising candidates for environmentally friendly and low-cost thermoelectric materials, not only a high figure of merit and efficiency are necessary but also detailed knowledge of mechanical properties and thermal expansion is compulsory.
Neoliberal models of development are often promoted in terms of their technical merits and efficiency gains and rarely account for the multiple ways that social, economic and political power shape institutional design and institutional change.
Furthermore, it is shown that the element has the merit of high accuracy and efficiency without any sacrifice of general applicability.
To break out of this pattern, a regime can attempt to decouple political power from economic ascendancy, freeing up the public and private sectors to operate on principles of efficiency, merit and fairness rather than sociopolitical concerns.
Both schemes make use of pairings on elliptic curves in construction and thus have the merits of simplicity in design and efficiency in performance.
In fact, EE has been recognized as the new figure-of-merit in assessing the quality and efficiency of future communication networks and beyond (see, e.g., [9 11]).
Furthermore, projects' staffing as well as companies' hiring could become extra sensitive to the potential risk of denial of entry to the U.S., putting logistical conveniences ahead of merit, efficiency, and effectiveness.
Membranes of various shapes are presented, which illustrate the merits of the proposed method and demonstrate its accuracy and efficiency.
We use these solutions to consider the effects of nondimensionalized target-probe dissociation constant, nondimensionalized target distribution width, and nondimensionalized peak distribution concentration on key affinity capture figures of merit: capture efficiency (n/ N), capture length (p z ), and capture time (p t ).
Each technique has its own merits and demerits depending on the application, cost, complexity, power density, reliability and efficiency.
