Entrance to higher education in this new meritocracy, and to any position of status in society, is based on a simple formula: Merit = IQ + Effort.
Its simple and obvious merit is why it passed the House with unanimous support.
In a simple figure of merit, each performance metric is taken into account independently of other metrics.
In [4], a simple figure of merit for evaluating the depth of the interleaver was obtained for Rician channels, and a variety of channel auto-correlation functions.
So, the electric energy can represent a major fraction of the operating costs, and simple figures of merit based on electric energy consumption can be very useful and informative.
Therefore, besides of TSCS and ACS defined above, we also calculate another parameter, which serves as a simple figure of merit of the focusing ability (FA), in the plane-wave focusing by a parabolic graphene reflector.
As mentioned in Subsection 2.3, simulation results in [3] demonstrated that fully interleaved performance is approximately achieved for BPSK over exponentially correlated channels when N 1≥0.1N coh is satisfied, and [4] further extended this result to Rician channels and a variety of channel auto-correlation functions by proposing a simple figure of merit for evaluating interleaver depth.
Indeed, there is ample evidence that opportunity in the modern U.S. is wildly unequal and that therefore, success is not a simple sign of merit.
Remarkably then, the simple fact that merit and prestige are granted and cannot be imposed in antagonistic equals ensures that tactful modesty when building up and advertising one's own merit becomes compulsory, a "declarative" restraint all the more indicated considering the unavoidable entanglement of individual and collective merit in a realm of egalitarian synergy.
Despite skepticism regarding the suggestion that fluorescein diacetate viability microscopy might be widely employed in tuberculosis programs in resource-limited settings as a means of early detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis, the data presented by Datta and colleagues indicate that this simple assay does merit further evaluation.
