  Deficient number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a deficient number or defective number is a number n for which σ(n) < 2n.
For example, all prime numbers, all prime powers and all proper divisors of deficient or perfect numbers are deficient.
The natural numbers were first classified as either deficient, perfect or abundant by Nicomachus in his Introductio Arithmetica (circa 100).

Where the sum of the number of defective measures found in the first and second samples is less than or equal to the second acceptance number, the lot is to be accepted.

 INFO - AQL Inspector's Rule
The acceptance number is the maximum number of defects or defective units in the sample that will permit acceptance lot or batch.
The rejection number is the minimum number of defects or defective units in the sample that will cause rejection of the lot represented by the sample.
When appropriate, the number of units in the sample shall be selected in proportion to the size of sub-lots or sub-batches, or parts or the lot or batch, identified by some rational criterion.

 Perfect Numbers--Mathematics: Grades 5-8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The proper factors of a number are all of the factors of a number except the number itself.
Numbers may be designated perfect, defective, or abundant based on the sum of their proper factors.
Defective numbers are those numbers in which the sum of the proper factors is less than the number itself.

 Chapter 4, Head 4
TQM companies do not even report the number of defective parts in terms of a percentage because the fraction of defective items they expect to produce is so small that a percentage is meaningless.
If the number of defective items is less than or equal to a lower limit, the lot is accepted, whereas if it exceeds a specified upper limit, the lot is rejected.
The cumulative number of defects is then compared with an increased set of upper and lower limits, and the decision rule used in the first sample is applied.

 IRMI - The Changing Landscape of Coverage Disputes over Defective Work Claims
Twenty years ago, in the late 1970s and through the 1980s, the primary focus was on the working of the 1973 edition CGL policy's property damage exclusions, particularly the effect of the "broad form property damage endorsement" on the exclusions in the main body of the CGL policy.
While many defective work claims may be framed against the contractor in terms of negligence or breach of warranty, most claims include allegations of breach of contract.
Similarly, if the definitions of "occurrence" and property damage are improperly relied on to deny coverage, then a greater number of defective work claims will be denied than under a more traditional analysis which relies on the property damage exclusions to eliminate coverage for a smaller number of these types of claims.

 George W. Bush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are a number of accounts of substance abuse and otherwise disorderly conduct by Bush from this time.
These acts increased the child tax credit and eliminated the so-called "marriage penalty." Arguably, cuts were distributed disproportionately to higher income taxpayers through a decrease in marginal rates, but the change in marginal rates was greater for those of lower income, resulting in an income tax structure that was more progressive overall.
However, complexity was increased with new categories of income taxed at different rates and new deductions and credits; at the same time, the number of individuals subject to the alternative minimum tax increased since it had remained unchanged.

 Defective air packs found in mines - Boston.com
All but one of the defective air packs, which have been removed, were the type used by miners who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in an eastern Kentucky mine explosion in May and in the Sago Mine disaster in West Virginia in January.
That type is approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, though years of government tests show that users have to breathe harder and that there is a higher level of carbon dioxide in the air they breathe, compared with other brands.
State regulators kept track only of the number of defective devices, not the total number of air packs inspected, said Mark York, spokesman for the Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet, which oversees mine safety.

The increased number of defective pricing claims may well be a reaction to this criticism.
Another factor may be the decrease in both the number of government contractors (as a result of industry consolidation) and the number of government contracts (as a result of federal downsizing), which provides a smaller "target" area upon which the Government can concentrate its audit resources.
Thus, while even the oldest of defective pricing claims may not currently be barred by a statute of limitations, they may be time barred under an equitable theory known as the doctrine of laches.
