		Amory Lovins, E SOURCE's principal technical consultant, is cofounder and director of research for Rocky Mountain Institute and an internationally recognized energy efficiency expert.
		Buildings rarely are built to use energy efficiently, despite the sizeable costs that inefficient designs impose on building owners, occupants, and the utility companies that serve them.
		Lenders and their advisors perpetuate the use of old, inefficient, but familiar technologies because they have neither the time nor the inclination to study innovative designs.

	Inefficiency
		All the same, every chance I get, I direct incoming undergraduates and their parents to horribly inefficient courses, such as seminars and studios, in which knowledge is treated as a process rather than as a product.
		To make that case effectively, faculty members at all institutions, and in all disciplines, need to stress to administrators and policy makers the importance of undergraduate instruction and advising, small class sizes, reasonable teaching loads, student writing, and, for advanced undergraduates, perhaps even practicum seminars or collaboration with professors.
		Administrators will reply that inefficiency is expensive, and that every undergraduate class can't be run like a seminar with an enrollment of 14.

	The Inefficiency of Targeted Tax Policies
		Specifically, targeted tax policies are economically inefficient and may encourage abuse of the tax system.
		It is doubtful that the problems have been adequately addressed; nonetheless, the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit provides a good example of the inefficiency and potential manipulation that may arise from the use of targeted tax credits.
		Their inefficiency prevents policy makers from lowering the tax rate to the greatest extent possible, so that tax credits have little, if any, impact on working, saving and investing.

	Electrical Inefficiency A Dark Spot for China
		The recent failed attempt by the state-owned Chinese energy company Cnooc Ltd. to purchase U.S.-based Unocal Corp. underscores China's quest to lock up supplies of oil and gas around the world as the country's rapid industrialization demands ever more energy.
		Chinese air conditioners -- now the fastest-growing draw on power -- are roughly one-fifth less efficient than the world average, Long said.
		High and inefficient energy use may seem normal for poor nations going through industrialization and rapid economic growth.

		With the primary on Sept. 14, the race already is laced with caustic attacks.
		But the vitriol of Peter Winters of Marion and John Haaland of Fairhaven is aimed less at one another than at what they describe as a broken, slow, costly and inefficient Legislature, of which Rep. Straus is a part.
		The two Republicans, both with experience in the politics of their respective towns, say they want to purge government of its excesses and bring home their share of the savings.

		Petri, who joined Kennedy for the teleconference, said that in the past such a setup made sense for the United States, but that it is no longer applicable.

	Dieting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If the liver was engaged in gluconeogenesis from fat, and synthesizing fat from glucose at the same time, this would be a futile cycle, and a fantastic way to waste energy and lose weight.
		For most of human history, it has been important to survival to avoid such inefficiency, so the body switches modes to avoid this futile cycle.
		This explains the dramatic reductions in fasting TGs seen in many low carbohydrate dieters.

	The Hindu Business Line : `Textile mills plagued by inefficiency, stagnation'
		The Indian textile sector still relies heavily on relatively inefficient loom and hosiery sectors to feed the upper end of the value chain, which in turn results in loss of overall efficiency of the sector.
		EVEN as the Indian textile sector is gearing up to the challenge of competing in the global market, both the Government and the industry would have to grapple with an alarming statistic pointing at stagnation in overall efficiency standards.
		In all, till March 2003, an estimated 483 mills had shut shop, resulting in 3.90 lakh workers losing their source of livelihood, according to the latest data complied by Ministry of Textiles.

	EconPapers: Technical Inefficiency and Public Capital in US States: A Stochastic Frontier Approach (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The model allows technical inefficiency to vary over time, and inefficiency effects to be a function of a set of explanatory variables in which the level and composition of public capital plays an important role.
		Results indicated that U.S. state inefficiency levels were significantly and positively correlated with the ratio of public capital to private capital.
		The proportion of public capital devoted to highways is negatively correlated with technical inefficiency, suggesting that not only the level but also the composition of public capital influenced state efficiency.

	Robert Nozick [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Many libertarians appeal, in defending their position, to economic and sociological considerations - the benefits of market competition, the inherent mechanisms inclining state bureaucracies toward incompetence and inefficiency, the poor record of governmental attempts to deal with specific problems like poverty and pollution, and so forth.
		Nozick endorses such arguments, but his main defense of libertarianism is a moral one, his view being that whatever its practical benefits, the strongest reason to advocate a libertarian society is simply that such advocacy follows from a serious respect for individual rights.
		The various programs of the modern liberal welfare state are thus immoral, not only because they are inefficient and incompetently administered, but because they make slaves of the citizens of such a state.

		In fact, the real problems lie outside the regime, and moreover are problems that the MTCR was not designed to address by itself.

		Here are some results from my program that concatenates the E787 single photon inefficiency to predict the pi0 inefficiency.
		What this suggests is that in the central region of the detector, the high energy inefficiency is more important than the low energy one.
		That further suggests to me that the fact that we get about the right pi0 inefficiency by concatenating Sasaki is not proof that his low energy inefficiencies are correct in the central region.

		Proposer-induced efficiency losses vary between 5 and 20 percent, and one sixth to almost one third of the population is excluded from participation.
