winch A more conservative estimate might be that we get 3.8x the capacity, and though that cuts into our fudge factor on length, it would still put us at 336', which is beyond our 325' hard requirement. Later calculations indicate that much more than 351' becomes problematic for reasons of winch capacity, and 8% seems a safe fudge factor. This assumes that we get 4x the capacity with 1/8" (twice as many wraps, twice as many layers). www.mit.edu /afs/sipb/user/jhawk/www/tmp/winch

Carrying capacity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The carrying capacity of an environment will vary for different species in different habitats, and can change over time due to a variety of factors including trends in food availability, environmental conditions and space. Carrying capacity is therefore the largest size of a density-dependent population for which the population is at equilibrium (population size neither increases nor decreases). It is also possible for a species to pass its carrier capacity, in which case the population can drastically fall as shortages in food and water take effect. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Carrying_capacity   (254 words)

Hausdorff dimension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cantor set (a zerodimensional topological space) is a union of two copies of itself, each copy shrunk by a factor 1/3; this fact can be used to prove that its Hausdorff dimension is ln(2)/ln(3), which is approximately 0.63 (see natural logarithm). Sierpinski triangle is a union of three copies of itself, each copy shrunk by a factor of 1/2; this yields a Hausdorff dimension of ln(3)/ln(2), which is approximately 1.58.

The mathematics of laughter: amusement capacity Intellectual intelligence has a direct correspondence with creativity, meaning that the smarter you are, the more capable you are of relating novel situations to familiar ones in calculating the funny factor, and the more likely it is that you can invent new ways of comprehending funny-strange situations when calculating your amusement capacity. The H value requires this type of treatment because it represents aspects of health specifically related to emotional responsiveness and the capacity of the individual or group in question to grasp the meaning of the funny-factor value which was calculated earlier. This same filtering capacity also allows us to recognize and respond to subtle threats that aren't recognized or acknowledged by species with less cranial capacity. www.cublea.net /rants/laughter/hus.html   (254 words)

The Lumberman's Association of Texas Newsletter Archive The U.S. and Canadian structural wood panel industry is operating at nearly full capacity, the result of several converging factors, according to APA—The Engineered Wood Association. Of these, the sizzling housing market is thought to be the single most significant panel supply and demand factor. Production of both products combined during the first half of the year was at 88.6 percent of capacity, which is near the historical average. www.lat.org /articles/83.html   (250 words)

Dromey Technical Papers :: Conductor and Transformer Modeling Apart from the purely thermal conditions, a factor that cannot be ignored is the effect of temperature on the conductor sag that may be the limiting factor in defining safe clearances to ground for the conductor spans. Conductor data for overhead and underground conductors is commonly obtained from a variety of sources, often without recognition of the assumptions inherent in published figures. Unless the neutral conductor is to be specifically represented, which is not normally the case, the 4x4 matrix can be reduced to a 3x3 by partitioning the matrix and eliminating the neutral elements as follows. www.dromeydesign.com /articles/Conductor_and_Transformer_Modeling.htm   (2067 words)

VO2max_limits.doc Considerable evidence suggests that cardiac output is the limiting factor for maximal aerobic capacity. Contributing factors may be failure of calcium transport mechanisms or decreased myofibrillar ATPase activity The critical mitochondrial PO2 is thought to be 1 mm Hg (i.e., PO2 necessary for diffusion into the mitochondria).

CODE GUIDE Higher demand factors could be used, and should be used if we know enough about the load to expect the scenario you describe. A load that is continuous is not permitted to be reduced by a demand factor. However, the language of Section 220-35 requires that a measured demand load be increased by 25% and is thus treated as continuous in determining whether an existing feeder has spare capacity. www.ceenews.com /mag/electric_code_guide_12   (1331 words)

Untitled Any factor that may influence a user's perception of the desirability of a product could be included as a quality factor; therefore, we must narrow our scope to those factors upon which we may want to place first priority. The focus of this presentation is upon the factors that currently limit pork consumption because they affect utilization at the processor level or are a direct limiting factor on consumer demand for your product. Recent studies in the laboratories of the Danish Meat Research Institute suggest that, early post-mortem prediction of water holding capacity in the longissimus muscle may be possible by measuring changes in the Near Infra-red (NIR) spectra over time. mark.asci.ncsu.edu /nsif/98proc/forrest.htm   (2807 words)

Forbes.com: Infiniti's Q Factor What we found is a car that is faster than any other in its class (0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds) and one with a class-leading cockpit in terms of both amenities and capacity. The car is also designed to take on Audi's $62,000 entry-level A8, and the Q is both faster to 60mph than that car and is appointed just as sumptuously. To find out if the new Q45 is all Infiniti boasts it will be, Forbes went to Italy to test drive the V-8-propelled, 340-horsepower Q on the Italian Autostrada* and on winding Italian country roads. www.forbes.com /2001/02/05/0205feata.html   (775 words)

xtri.com the coach the limiting factor Now, the “limiting factor” to the athlete’s potential in the marathon lies not in the strength of the lactate threshold or pure endurance (both of which will be developed during marathon specific training) but in the aerobic capacity or VO2max of the athlete. The “limiting factor” is my term for the physiological attribute that must be identified and optimally developed in order for event specific forms of training to be most effective. My system calls for a more realistic, creative approach to off- and pre-season training; one that leaves the athlete very fit come April, and more importantly, physically and psychologically fresh and motivated to begin the specific forms of training that will induce peak athletic performance when it’s needed most. www.xtri.com /article.asp?id=1397&offset=1   (958 words)

Nature highlights > Radio communications: Tripling channel capacity This method has now been extended by the use of magnetic as well as electric field components, giving the potential to increase channel capacity by a factor of three compared with conventional dual-polarized radio signals. One of the most promising areas of progress in the theory of wireless communications is the use of multiple and 'smart' antennas to increase the channel capacity for radio links; this can involve the use of various polarizations in the transmitted signals. The data capacity of cellphone networks can be expanded by harnessing bouncing signals. www.nature.com /nature/links/010118/010118-2.html   (158 words)

Public research agencies as sources for innovations and the entrepreneurial absorptive capacity of manufacturing enterprises Recent literature on technology absorptive capacity for new knowledge has shown business RandD investment, however measured, to be a key factor. The policy implications of these findings are how to better balance government interventions between increased funding for the generation of new knowledge and improving the absorptive capacity for this new knowledge and the associated enterprise entrepreneurial propensity. Statistical analyses of Australian innovation survey data showed a strong relationship between technology absorptive capacity and the perceived importance of public sector research providers as sources of information and ideas for innovations. www.innovation-enterprise.com /5.1/5.1.29.html   (691 words)

Factors of Safety The factor of safety also known as Safety Factor, is used to provide a design margin over the theoretical design capacity to allow for uncertainty in the design process. The selection of the appropriate factor of safety to be used in design of components is essentially a compromise between the associated additional cost and weight and the benefit of increased safety and/or reliability. The higher factors of safety given above (2.5 to 4) may be used but based on stress levels calculated based on the resulting dissipated energy at impact. www.roymech.co.uk /Useful_Tables/ARM/Safety_Factors.html   (730 words)

Thaksinomics - Adverse Trends in Total Factor Productivity Alternatively it can be thought of as the level of technological development in the economy —a given amount of factor input will generate more or less output depending on the country's technological capacity. TFP measures the efficiency of a given set of input factors, capital and labor in generating output. In part, the increasing limitations on growth imposed by the EAEM manifest themselves in the observed trends in the country's total factor productivity (TFP). www.thaksinomics.com /Adverse_Trends_in_Total_Factor_Productivity.htm   (730 words)

Is bandwidth a limiting factor Graphically, the animation is very simple, but the CD-ROM storage capacity is used successfully to atone for slow graphics. It may be argued that the bandwidth limitations on the Web are quite different from the bandwidth limitations in presenting animated graphics on an old PC. The graphics "bandwidth" was quite limited, in that a 386 processor imposes serious restrictions on real time animation. www.w3.org /AudioVideo/9610_Workshop/paper08/paper08.html   (1194 words)

Scientific American Presents: Feature Article: The General Intelligence Factor: November 1998 Some critics of intelligence research maintain that the notion of general intelligence is illusory: that no such global mental capacity exists and that apparent "intelligence" is really just a by-product of one's opportunities to learn skills and information valued in a particular cultural context. The statistical extraction of g is performed by a technique called factor analysis. But, as Spearman observed, a general factor does emerge from analysis of mental ability tests, and leading psychologists, such as Arthur R. Jensen of the University of California at Berkeley and John B. Carroll of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have confirmed his findings in the decades since. www.psych.utoronto.ca /~reingold/courses/intelligence/cache/1198gottfred.html   (4340 words)

Get Smart: I.Q. and Emotional Intelligence Factor analysis determines the minimum number of underlying dimensions necessary to explain a pattern of correlations among measurements (3).

INTERNET SITE STATISTICS The delay limitations and optimization of the various factor relationships, causing the delays, allow enhancing service quality in the computer network and its efficiency. In result of unstationary loading of the communications lines, it is necessary to account the process dynamics in relevant optimization mission and routing algorithm to be centrally defined on base of the compiled information for entire network. The problem resolving by hardware devices (for example, by enhancing traffic capacities of the communicational lines) no ever is permissible because of financial or/and organizational reasons. www.acadjournal.com /2001/v4/part5/p2   (1299 words)

Technical Note 71: Discussion on Measuring Specific Heat Capacity Using the Flash Method To determine specific heat capacity using the same equipment which is used for thermal diffusivity involves measuring the absolute temperature rise of the specimen caused when a known amount of heat is deposited on its front surface in form of a light pulse. Due to the reasons discussed, Anter Corporation offers the capabilities to determine specific heat capacity of samples only with the multi sample configuration of the FL-5000 system, as the single sample one would be subject to the same unacceptable errors as all other competitive single sample systems. Assuming one knows the specific heat, most of the problems are lumped into one, which is then accounted for by a simple correction factor. www.anter.com /TN71.htm   (1760 words)

Thermal Man Inc From the curves (Figures 9-15), it may easily be seen that the cross-sectional area of a conductor is a dominant factor in its ability to carry a given current for a particular temperature rise, especially for the copper thickness of 0.00135 (1 oz.) and 0.0027 inch (2oz.). Significant reduction in current-carrying capacity of about 15 to 20% was noted for those samples in which coatings were used, indicating a reduced ability of the samples to dissipate the heat generated in the copper conductor. The equivalent cross-section is equal to the sum of the cross-sections of the parallel conductors, and the equivalent current is the sum of the currents in the conductors. www.thermalman.com /9.shtml   (3466 words)
