	Standardized Food Balance Sheets Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The reason for preparing standardized food balance sheets as opposed to detailed food balance sheets is firstly, to reduce the amount of data, and therefore the number of commodities involved, to a level and size more suited to analytical purposes.
		The accuracy of food balance sheets, which are in essence derived statistics, is of course dependent on the reliability of the underlying basic statistics of population, supply and utilization of foods and of their nutritive value.
		To overcome the former difficulty, estimates were prepared in FAO while the effect of the absence of statistics on stocks is considered to be reduced by preparing the food balance sheets as an average for a three-year period.

	Listed below is a sample balance sheet of a simple corporation
		Balance sheets can be prepared as often as desired but most companies will prepare them monthly for use by managers and at least annually for use by persons outside of the organization such as bankers and tax authorities.
		Land is usually the first capital asset listed on the balance sheet because it is not amortized (this is because its useful life is unlimited).
		For example if a company earned $10,000 of net income in year 1 and $15,000 of net income in year 2, the retained earnings balance would be $10,000 at the end of year 1 and $25,000 at the end of year 2.

	CoffeeGeek - Balance Brewers - Comparisons with Similar Devices
		With balance brewers, left to brew on their own, you don't control this variable - the device does, and it decides when to kill the flame and force the kick down (or more accurately, kick sideways) for your brewed coffee.
		With vac pots (including balance brewers), hot water and steam is sent through the siphon constantly during the brew phase, delivering perfect temperature stability for extraction.
		Another boon for the balance brewers is the use of all metal filters - no paper to prevent the best flavour oils and colloids from getting back to the kettle and to your cup.

		is said to obey detailed balance; the stationary distribution is then often also called the equilibrium distribution.
		The intuitive meaning of detailed balance is that the balance between the probability of `leaving' a state
		Detailed balance then says that there is no net current in any of the wires, whereas stationarity only requires that the total current flowing into any state

	Sirlin.net -- Your source of shocking insights on game design
		Some games end up balanced through sheer coincidence, such as the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which is “accidentally a very good game.” Somewhere in Japan, there is a very lucky stable of monkeys who managed to type up Hamlet, or perhaps a screenplay to The Seven Samurai.
		The solution is that Guilty Gear XX 1) has a game system that gives all characters equal access to an unusually large number of safeguards and abilities and 2) each character has some set of unique abilities that stray further from the standard template than they would in most other fighting games.
		I think that’s the secret of capturing both diversity and balance, or at least one effective method of reaching the holy grail: a robust, shared system of defense with diverse and unique attacks for each character/race/side.

		A detailed balance is often done before occupancy because it is much easier to do measurements when the building is unoccupied.
		However, a detailed air balance should be performed after the building equipment is installed and the building is fully occupied so that potential problem areas may be identified.
		Balancing after occupancy gives a more accurate result because all the internal loads that are present in a large office may have a significant effect on the balance, particularly if one zone has higher occupancy or equipment loads (computer room or auditorium for example) than other zones.

	Detailed Balance
		Because it is precisely detailed balance which leads us to expect zero current in equilibrium, the spurious equilibrium current is a measure of the violation of this condition.
		Another way to view the problem of detailed balance in a completely quantum-mechanical context is to note that the equilibrium distribution should satisfy the Bloch equation (6.102).
		The connection between detailed balance and reversibility or Hermiticity suggests the following conjecture: that it is impossible to exactly satisfy both detailed balance and the stability condition (irreversibility) in a model with a finite number of degrees of freedom (such as a bounded, discrete model).

	Vew-Do Balance Boards
		Because the human body is inherently designed to be in a natural and sub-consciously balanced state, balance training has long been an ignored training protocol for many athletes.
		The common theory being, "if it ain't broke, I don't need to fix it." But balance and agility can quickly dissolve as soon as an athlete begins to move through their sport-specific movements and outside forces, self-movement and the environment create instability.
		Try balancing on a Vew-Do Balance Board while dribbling a basketball, catching a baseball, throwing a football, bouncing a soccer ball off your head, etc. As your skill progresses, challenge yourself even further using kettlebells, resistance bands, medicine balls or whatever is required to perform your chosen sport.

	ABREMA: glossary: audit approach
		When an auditor plans to gather evidence of the completeness, validity or accuracy of a particular account balance, without detailed examination of underlying classes of transaction, the approach for that account balance assertion is referred to as a non in-depth approach.
		The extent of an in-depth approach relating to a particular account balance assertion depends on the quantity and quality of evidence required by the auditor to form an opinion as to the extent of misstatements in the account balance.
		If the auditor plans, in relation to a particular account balance assertion, extensive reliance on controls over management's accounting information system, the approach for that account balance assertion is referred to as a systems approach; where some reliance is planned, a part systems approach; and where no reliance is planned, a substantive (or verification) approach.

		Detailed balance is an extremely very useful guiding principle, because it leads us to generate a valid set of transition probabilities while considering them only a pair at a time.
		Detailed balance could be used to specify all the transition probabilities, but the problem with this scheme is that it again requires us to specify all transition probabilities beforehand; it is not a just-in-time approach.
		Instead, each state is accepted with a probability that ensures that the overall transition probability is, via detailed balance, consistent with the desired limiting distribution.

	INI : Abstracts : PDS : What happens to detailed balance away from equilibrium? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The principle of detailed balance puts a number of constraints on the stochastic dynamics of any system that is ergodic, microscopically reversible, and in an equilibrium state.
		If work is done to drive such a system out of equilibrium, it will, in many cases, remain ergodic, microscopically reversible, and in a statistically steady (albeit non-equilibrium) state.
		By studying how such conditions give rise to the constraints of detailed balance at equilibrium, we can apply the same principles to derive a non-equilibrium counterpart to detailed balance, applicable to a wide sub-class of driven steady states, and investigate the consequences for activated processes.

		Of course, with 20 possible prisms, we can represent the conditions of detailed balance by a 400-element matrix: EMBED Equation Here we have labeled the regions according to the initial and final Boltzmann categories as well as the sign of the z-component of spin, which ranges over EMBED Equation .
		The condition of detailed balance is that this matrix must be symmetric, so we will call this EMBED Equation matrix the “balance matrix”, to avoid confusion with the transfer matrix, which is EMBED Equation .
		Another way to visualize the detailed balance condition is to consider the transitions of a given prism.

		Ageing phenomena and scaling behaviour have been considered in many systems with detailed balance such as simple magnetic systems.
		Therefore it is an interesting question to extend these studies to systems without detailed balance, a paradigmatic example of which are reaction-diffusion systems.
		In recent numerical investigations in a specific system of this type dynamical scaling behaviour was found and in turned out, that an equality between two critical exponents, known from systems with detailed balance, does not hold true any more.
