While Vermont Yankee demonstrates the ability of a single plant to squander public trust, it also demonstrates the emergence of the states in nuclear regulation.
It is time to end the ability of a single senator, or group of senators, to block the confirmation process by threatening a filibuster, which can be overcome only by the vote of 60 senators.
In the Senate, Mr. Coburn has continued down his singular path, driving Democrats and some Republicans to distraction with his prolific use of the "hold" — the ability of a single senator to object to moving ahead on a measure without a debate.
We report the ability of a single sediment-microbial fuel cell (MFC) to power wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes.
However, in multiple moving person scenarios, the ability of a single UWB sensor to detect several persons is usually significantly reduced.
The types of changes outlined above may result from phenotypic plasticity (the ability of a single genotype to express different phenotypes in different environments) or may reflect evolutionary change (selection for different phenotypes over multiple generations).
Catalytic promiscuity — the ability of a single active site to catalyse more than one chemical transformation — has a natural role in evolution and occasionally in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.
The objective of this study was to ascertain the ability of a single subcutaneous injection of a sustained-release (SR) formulation of moxidectin to protect dogs against challenge inoculation with infective Dirofilaria immitis larvae 364 days after administration.
However, severe limitations concerning reliability have been identified in literature such as the ability of a single faulty node to cause a global communication failure by monopolizing the bus [1], the susceptibility to bus short-circuits [2] or the absence of an atomic broadcast in case of asymmetric bit flips [3, 4].
On the other hand, a limited amount of research addressing the VRP has used the ant colony optimization (ACO), with candidate lists and ranking techniques to improve the ability of a single ACO to solve the VRP ([Bullnheimer et al. 1998]; [Bullnheimer et al. 1999]).
Large electoral districts would defeat the ability of a single special interest faction to dominate or oppress minorities.
