	Carrying capacity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In ecology, carrying capacity is the measure of an environment, or habitat, to indefinitely sustain the population of a particular species in a steady-state population density.
		Humans have demonstrated an ability to increase the short term carrying capacity of their environment through use of Earth's available resources, most notably the wide scale use of ancient deposits of hydrocarbons, also known as fossil fuels.
		When a population exceeds the long term carrying capacity of its environment, also known as overshoot, then famine and disease tend to reduce the size of that population.

	U.S. Capacity Holding Steady After Three Years of Decline
		Newsprint capacity fell roughly 300,000 tons in 2004 for two main reasons: First, a large paper machine was permanently shut down at the end of 2003, accounting for about half of the decline.
		In 2005 the remaining capacity for Abitibi-Consolidated's Sheldon, Texas, mill with the 2003 machine closure was removed from the survey, accounting for 70% of the 500,000 tons decline in capacity.
		In particular, unbleached kraft folding boxboard capacity is slated to rise 0.5% in 2005, 1.3% in 2006, and 0.5% in 2007.

	FRBSF: Economic Letter - Capacity Utilization and Structural Change (11/15/96)
		Capacity utilization for an individual manufacturing plant is the ratio of the plant's actual output level to its potential or capacity output level.
		Capacity output is a measure of the extent to which the manufacturing plant can produce goods, given its current technology and fixed factors of production (such as the capital stock).
		Although the 82 percent figure for the non-accelerating inflation rate of capacity utilization is estimated imprecisely, with a 95 percent confidence interval that ranges from about 78-1/2 to 83-1/2 percent of capacity, similarly wide confidence intervals must be attached to estimates of the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment.

	Measuring Network Availability: Best Practices White Paper
		Capacity planning is the process of determining the network resources required to prevent a performance or availability impact on business-critical applications.

		The data plane is simply capacity and performance issues involved with the data traversing the network while the control plane means resources required to maintain proper functionality of the data plane.

	APPENDIX II - CAPACITY OUTPUT AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Capacity utilization is defined as the ratio of actual output to some measure of potential output given a firm’s short-run stock of capital and perhaps other fixed inputs in the short run (Nelson, 1989).
		The four measures differ by the manner in which potential or capacity output is defined and whether or not the potential or capacity output is technologically determined, without an explicit economic foundation, or whether this capacity output represents the outcome of an explicit economic optimization process, such as cost minimization or profit maximization.
		The first economic approach, proposed by Klein (1960) and Friedman (1963), defines capacity output as that output corresponding to the tangency of the long and short-run average or unit total cost curves (the average total cost curve includes the cost of the capital stock which is a fixed or quasi-fixed factor).

	Managing fishing capacity
		Of 80 countries that responded to an FAO survey on capacity management, 60 have conducted or plan to conduct an initial assessment of national fishing capacity -- but mostly for large scale commercial fisheries.
		Half report having national programmes in place for monitoring fishing capacity, but fewer countries (26) have established target capacity levels for their commercial fishery fleets, the survey shows.
		In addition, many are implementing measures aimed at limiting the use of existing capacity by imposing quotas on catch or fishing effort.

		Thus, in a murder case, the defendant may offer a "diminished capacity" defense to prove that he was incapable of deliberating, premeditating, or acting with malice, as is required for a first degree murder conviction.
		When the diminished capacity defense is successful, the defendant may be found guilty of a lesser included offense (that is, a lesser homicide) which requires only general intent.
		Basically, diminished capacity is used by defendants whose mental problems are not profound enough to serve as the basis for an insanity defense but may be sufficient to raise questions about their ability to form the requisite specific intent necessary to commit particular crimes.

	School Capacity Update: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		School capacity is subject to change in response to five factors: (1) compliance with current building codes, (2) change of educational program, (3) change of class size, (4) expansion of educational services, and (5) scheduling (Chan, 1998).
		Accordingly, the capacity of the school needs to be evaluated and a new floor plan of the school needs to be prepared to indicate the updated capacity.
		This concept of maximum capacity was opposed by Chambers (1993) who described maximum capacity as a somewhat meaningless number which represented the theoretical number of students impossible to be loaded in the given spaces.

	Specific heat capacity at opensource encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In thermodynamics, the specific heat capacity of a substance is the slope (derivative) of the internal energy due to random motion of atoms in a sample as a function of temperature, normalized by dividing by the mass of the sample.
		Because the internal energy curve is normally almost linear, it can be approximated by measuring the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C (or one kelvin).
		If a fluid has stronger intermolecular forces (such as hydrogen bonding in water) then the heat capacity is likely to be higher.
