Increasing the total solids content of the substrate fed to a DAD bioreactor is a basic engineering design objective to decrease the bioreactor volume (Luning et al. 2003), reduce its construction costs, and increase the specific energy output per reactor's unit volume.
To define the role of head computed tomography (CT) scans in the geriatric population with isolated low-energy femur fractures and describe the pertinent clinical variables which are associated with positive CT findings with the objective to decrease the number of unnecessary CT scans performed.

The computed distribution is compared with the measured one using χ2 criterion (see below) and a procedure of optimization is applied, which changes parameters and performs calculations each time passing through steps 1-3 withethe objective to decrease χ.
After an intensive intervention program done by authorities and the company, lead pollution in neighborhoods around the smelter complex known as Met-Mex Peñoles, in Torreon Mexico, has significantly decreased in magnitude, and therefore the program has been successful in the objective to decrease lead exposure in children, a fact that was reflected on the tested biomarkers of exposure in children.
Participants opposed the killing of large carnivores when objectives were to decrease population sizes or increase human tolerance, profits, livelihoods, or fear of humans.
Ms. McCormack said that one major objective was to decrease hospitalization for asthma among children and that providing information about smoking-cessation programs would help.
