Obviously, today's two billion followers of Paul et al's (e.g. G. Beck) «magic - man» are also a bit on the odd side believing in all the Christian mumbo jumbo about bodies resurrecting, and exorcisms, and miracles, and «magic - man atonement, and infallible, old, European / Utah white men, and 24/7 body / blood sacrifices followed by consumption of said sacrifices.

Like other major automakers, Audi (and its parent Volkswagen Group) is working on meeting its medium - term regulatory requirements (e.g., in the 2020 timeframe) by reducing the average fuel consumption of its new vehicles using a combination of three primary measures: optimizing its combustion engines for greater efficiency; developing alternative drive...

Online learning can similarly be divided into several different types, based on various factors, such as whether it concerns educational or corporate use (online schools vs corporate training), the mode of consumption (web based, mLearning etc.), or even the scope of each individual learning unit (e.g. microlearning).

There is no set number, but as a rule of thumb, it's often agreed that up to about 1 quart or 1 litre of oil per 1000 miles (e.g. out of 6L of oil from the oil pan) is considered to be an entirely normal oil consumption rate; on the other hand, more than 1L per 1000 km is probably too much of an oil consumption.

Due to the lower demands made by E-Ink displays on device resources compared with LCD (e.g. processing, data storage, display power consumption), the overall component cost of E-Ink eReaders is significantly lower compared with LCD eReaders.

This question arises when we see our world as a connected system and how the exercise of consumption or unfettered population growth affects other parts of the system (e.g. your mention of human confiscation of up to 40 % of solar input to photosynthesis must surely be putting extreme pressure on other species).

Like other major automakers, Audi (and its parent Volkswagen Group) is working on meeting its medium - term regulatory requirements (e.g., in the 2020 timeframe) by reducing the average fuel consumption of its new vehicles using a combination of three primary measures: optimizing its combustion engines for greater efficiency; developing alternative drive...

To start, nearly all of the CSLF meeting participants were bullish on the outlook for fossil fuel consumption, expressing the view that fossil use would increase over the next several decades due to a combination of demand factors (e.g. population and economic growth) and supply factors (e.g. lack of cost - competitive renewable energy).

In the long run, much of the economic growth of developed economies is likely to involve less energy - intensive sectors because of demand - side factors such as 1) the amount of stuff people can physically manage is limited (even with rented storage space), 2) migration to areas where the weather is more moderate will continue, 3) increased urbanization and population density reduces energy consumption per capita, 4) there is a lot of running room to decrease the energy consumption of our electronic devices (e.g., switching to clockless microprocessors, not that I'm predicting that specific innovation), 5) telecommunication will substitute for transportation on the margin, 6) cheaper and better data acquisition and processing will enable less wasteful routing and warehousing of material goods, and 7) aging populations will eventually reduce the total amount (local plus distant) of travel per person per year.

The key challenges are to restructure existing energy tax systems to directly target the source of environmental harm (e.g., by taxing emissions or driving on busy roads rather than electricity consumption or vehicle sales), to better align tax levels with the scale of environmental harm, and to overcome practical challenges of higher energy and transportation costs.

Finally, the environmental controls on methane consumption (e.g., methane oxidation; Abril et al. 2005, Kemenes et al. 2007) and air — water gas exchange rates downstream of a dam may also play an important role in determining the magnitude of downstream emissions.

Size, configuration (e.g., top freezer, bottom freezer, or side - by - side) and features have a big impact on overall unit energy consumption.

We need greater attention on the strength of uncertain processes and feedbacks in the physical climate system (e.g. carbon cycle feedbacks, ice sheet dynamics)(NRC 2013), as well as on institutional and behavioral feedbacks associated with energy production and consumption, to determine scientifically plausible bounds on total warming and the overall behavior of the climate system (Heal and Millner 2014).

• The police make an arrest based on an improperly administered roadside breath machine (e.g., where residual mouth alcohol is present due to recent consumption).

Most notably, clients often lack information about which lawyers are in fact better than others, and can rely on status heuristics to make consumption choices - e.g..

Married participants (N = 4864) from the Health and Retirement Study reported on alcohol consumption (whether they drink alcohol and average amount consumed per week) and negative marital quality (e.g., criticism and demands) across two waves (Wave 1 2006/2008 and Wave 2 2010/2012).

Based on these theories and previous social network studies on alcohol consumption and depressive symptoms (e.g., Kiuru et al. 2010; Mercer and Derosier 2010; Rabaglietti et al. 2011), we did not expect socialization effects to differ as a function of gender or friendship type (unilateral and reciprocal friendships) in the network analyses.
