For purposes of meriting a reward or for serving as an exemplar, why would it not suffice for Christ to dwell among us, live a perfect human life resisting all earthly temptation, and then die a quiet death at home?
I suggest an initial policy: We should create some valid tools to rate our own teaching for the purpose of granting merit pay and promotions.
Fit-for-purpose figures of merit were achieved with a limit-of-detection (LOD) of 3.06 pg/mL.
This work discusses the current qualitative criteria for selectivity as determined by IUPAC and proposes a general-purpose selectivity figure of merit based on Fisher information.
For this purpose, a general figure of merit (FoM) is defined to rank candidate sites as text{FoM}(i =omega_{text{cov}}*C_{text{cov}}(i +omega_{text{cap}}*C_{text{cap}}(i)- omega_{text{cost}}*C_{text{cost}}(i) (9).
The governor asked for the man to be sent to Madras, where the Hospital Board was to make trials of the pills "for the purpose of having the merits of his discovery ascertained".
In this paper, upon using purpose-tailored quantitative figures of merit, we have addressed in some details the relation between nonlinearity and nonclassicality in a class of nonlinear oscillators that is relevant in many contexts, including experimental solid state physics.
In an e-mail message, Seth Solomonow, an agency spokesman, cited several reasons, among them: "There is no indication that the project — with no development or repair purpose — would merit the impact of disruptive, long-term lane closures".
The purpose of this study is to improve the figure of merit of layered structures used as thermoelectric generators.
In conclusion we consider the 'fitness for purpose' of the various schemes, the merits of our analytical model and the future possibilities of fostering capacity building in the realm of wicked environmental challenges.
