For example the technological sub-criteria includes fuel saving, exergy efficiency, overall efficiency, operation in partial load, maturity of the technology, recoverable heat quality, user-friendliness of control and regulation, etc.
The results of this analysis for both studies 1 and 2 were respectively as follows: technological sub-system (37.3% and 42.8% of all causes); work design sub-system (31.4% and 38.1% of all causes); personnel sub-system (31.4% and 19.0% of all causes).
These work-centric social and technological sub-systems mutually enable and constrain one another in ways that largely determine the nature of work and, relatedly, the conditions and patterns of safety within which it occurs.
Similarly, elements of the technological sub-system impact the social sub-system, for instance, by constraining the selection of workers to those with specialised subsets of technological knowledge and skills.
It is suggested that the insufficiency of energy intensity indicators can be compensated with the introduction of thermodynamic indicators describing energy efficiency at the physical, technological, enterprise, sub-sector, sectoral and national levels without references to any economic or financial parameters.
They can help in breaking down a technological challenge into sub-goals, and in envisioning scenarios for which global health technologies might be designed.
This design will be used as design reference to test the next technological improvements of sub-component level, being based as much as possible on existing technology.
The bias of the current policy design towards early entry in a rapidly developing set of technologies entails the risk of a lock-up with sub-optimal technological option.
The iPod was a sub-standard technological product competing in a technological arena, yet, it won.
The technological dimension includes three sub-dimensions: 1) Visual literacy (VL) refers to useful knowledge for recognizing icons, symbols, interfaces.
In his now-classic work Archaeology as Anthropology (1962), Lewis Binford classified artifacts as technomic, sociotechnic, and ideotechnic, referring to the roles of items, respectively, in technological, social, and ideological sub-systems.
