	Tolerance - Wikinfo
		Tolerance, in a social, cultural and religious sense, is the acceptance of other people who hold different and disagreeing beliefs, or otherwise represent ideologies or cultures that have a history of being disrespected.
		Tolerance is weaker than respect: a disagreeable party may still be disapproved of, and interaction may be limited to what is necessary, the disagreeable party is simply left undisturbed.
		In engineering, tolerance is an allowance made for imperfections in a manufactured object.

	Amazon.com: Tolerance Design: A Handbook for Developing Optimal Specifications: Books: Clyde M. Creveling (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This is the first book in the history of engineering science to comprehensively address the analytical and experimental methods available for the development of tolerances.
		Tolerance Design instills a philosophy that tolerance development is as much about cost optimization as it is about functional integrity.
		The point is that regardless of whether the engineer or the designer or both establish the tolerances, the tolerances are critical to the successful manufacture and performance of the product over its intended life cycle.

	General 2-D Tolerance Analysis of Mechanical Assemblies with Small Kinematic Adjustments
		For example, a geometric feature tolerance may be used to limit the flatness of a surface, or the perpendicularity of one surface on a part relative to established datums, as shown in Figure 4.
		In contrast to this, the kinematic inputs of an assembly tolerance analysis model are small variations of the component dimensions around their nominal values and the outputs are the variations of assembly features, including clearances and fits critical to performance, as well as small kinematic adjustments between components.
		Component tolerance limits are determined from process characterization studies, but may have to be modified as a result of tolerance analysis, which reveals how each component variation contributes to the overall assembly variation.

	Tolerance Stack Up
		Tolerance is seen as a more widely acceptable term than "acceptance" and particularly "respect," where the application to controversial parties is concerned.
		The circumstantial element in the practice of tolerance is right judgment of greater ends against lesser ends.'' Is not the natural conclusion to this sentence ''thus enabling lesser ends to be sacrificed to greater ends.'' I recognize the school of thinking, but it's not known for its tolerance.
		The unintended consequence of zero tolerance policies is the lack of discretion given to administrators, employers or judges, as the case may be.

		It is being realised that any of these genes alone might not provide the required tolerance levels in the plants, while, pyramiding these genes is one of the alternatives which is being explored for engineering tolerance to abiotic stresses.
		However, breeding for them is tedious and time consuming and, therefore, the success rate is limiting as compared to the genetic engineering approach which brings in a precise change in a genotype through the directed transfer and expression of a gene that controls a given trait of economic importance in an otherwise agronomically superior genotype.
		Apprehensions on their accidental transfer to microbes in the human system in case of antibiotic tolerance and to wild relatives in case of herbicide tolerance have been raised at various fora.

	Budapest MS
		In the evolutionary adaptationist program, investigators either locate existing populations that differ in stress tolerance or create study populations through experimental selection on pre-existing variation, choose an underlying trait for analysis and hypothesize its effect on stress tolerance, and perform experiments or observations to test for the predicted covariation between the trait and stress tolerance.
		Much of our knowledge of the traits that contribute to stress tolerance has come from comparisons of individuals, populations, species, and/or higher taxa in contrasting environments, in which differences in traits are found to be consistent with differences in stress tolerance.
		Correlations of stress tolerance and underlying traits have readily led to reductionistic studies, which have elucidated numerous candidate mechanisms of stress tolerance.

		The research shows that several cold tolerant genes can be activated in the plant by introducing a key regulatory gene, thus helping them defend against a cold snap.
		The response of transgenic plants was similar to the cold-acclimated, untransformed plants indicating that the cold tolerance was achieved by tricking the plants to continuously produce COR proteins through transcriptional activation.
		Electrolyte leakage tests, which measure the amount of ions leaking from plant cell membranes due to cold damage, also indicated that freezing tolerance of transgenic plants was similar to that of cold acclimated nontransgenic plants.
