| ARTICLES RELATED TO efficient cause | | | | |  efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Particulate - Health effectsThe size of the particle also determines where in the body the particle may come to rest if inhaled. Particles deposited in the airways and in the tracheobronchial region are removed rather efficiently by mechanical action, through the mucuous membrane escalator. Particles deposited in the alveolar region are removed by macrophages. There is evidence that particles smaller than 100 nanometres can pass through cell membranes. For example, particles can migrate into the brain. It has been suggested that particulate matter can cause similar bra ...

| | | | | efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Object lifetime - Destroying objects It is generally the case that after an object is used, it is removed from memory in order for efficiency and for other programs or more objects to take that object's place. In order for this to happen, a destruction method is called upon that object. Destroying an object will cause any references to the object to become invalid.
A destructor is a method called when an instance of a class is deleted, before the memory is deallocated. Note that in C++, a destructor can not be overloaded like a constructor can. It has to have no a ...

| | | | | efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Incandescent light bulb - The halogen lamp The problem of short bulb life is addressed in the halogen lamp, also called the tungsten-halogen lamp, which is filled with a halogen gas such as iodine or bromine. This creates an equilibrium reaction where evaporated filament is chemically re-deposited at the hot-spots, preventing the early failure of the lamp. This allows halogen lamps to be run at higher temperatures which would cause unacceptably low lamp lifetimes in ordinary light bulbs, ...

| | | | | | efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Hormesis - Possible explanation The reason for the hormesis phenomenon is not completely understood. It is conjectured that a low dose challenge with a toxin may jump start certain repair mechanisms in the body, and these mechanisms are efficient enough that they not only neutralize the toxin's effect, but even repair other defects not caused by the toxin. This is similar in principle to viral vector vaccines under development for diseases such as cancer and AIDS.
Similarly, continuing or intermittent mild stressors such as exercise, environmental fluctuations and even food limitations would seem to stimulate tolerance to sudden simila ...

Icebreakers tend to roll side to side causing discomfort to the crew. Some new icebreakers such as the USCGC Healy make use of anti-roll tanks. Anti-roll tanks use computer controlled pumps to rapidly shift ballast water side to side to keep the vessel upright. This same techno ...

Fiberglass mats
Polystyrene foam, usually as pre-cut boards
Polyurethane foam, as boards or foamed in-situ
Cellulose insulation or other blow-in fibrous materials
cotton used as an energy efficient and recyclable insulation product
Adobe bricks are made of mud, common in Southwest United States
Vacuum insulation consisting of thin panels with extreme insulation capacities
In the 1970's, foam insulations suffered a setback when urea formaldehyde [1] was used as a blowing agent, causing indoor po ...

Monopoly - Primary characteristics of a monopoly.
Single Seller
A pure monopoly is an industry in which a single firm is the sole producer of a good or the sole provider of a service. This is usually caused by a blocked entry.
No Close Substitutes
The product or service is unique in ways which go beyond brand identity, and cannot be easily replaced (a monopoly on water from a certain spring, sold under a certain brand name, is not a true mon ...

| | | | | efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Munich - Lifestyle Residents of Munich enjoy a high quality of life. Mercer HR Consulting consistently rates the city among the top 10 cities with highest quality of life worldwide. The 2005 survey ranked Munich as 5th. Munich enjoys a thriving economy - principally information technology, biotechnology, and publishing. Environmental pollution is low, although currently the city is concerned about levels of fine dust in the air. The public transport is extremely efficient, although delays on the S-Bahn (commuter train) often cause frustration during extreme wi ...

| | | | | efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Mercantilism - Criticisms A number of scholars found important flaws with mercantilism long before Adam Smith developed an ideology that could fully replace it. Critics like Dudley North, John Locke, and David Hume undermined much of mercantilism, and it steadily lost favor during the eighteenth century. Mercantilists failed to understand the notions of comparative advantage (although this idea was only fully fleshed out in 1817 by David Ricardo) and the benefits of trade. For instance, Portugal was a far more efficient producer of wine than England, while in England ...

| | | | | | efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Edward Stafford politician - Second term On 16 October 1865, when Weld retired due to ill health and stress, Stafford took up the premiership once again. As Premier, he continued Weld's legislative program, but reduced what he saw as Weld's excessive expenditure (this having been one of the issues that caused the dislike between the two men). His administration was marked by efficiency and frugality. He was rewarded by the public in the 1866 elections.
Stafford's relations with the Governor, however, were gradually deteriorating. In particular, there was considerable debate ...

| | | | | efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - GNU Privacy Guard - Problems The OpenPGP standard specifies several methods of digitally signing messages. Due to an error in a change to GPG intended to make one of those methods more efficient, a security vulnerability was introduced (Nguyen, 2004). It affects only one method of digitally signing messages, only for some releases of GPG (1.0.2 through 1.2.3), and there were less than 1000 such keys listed on the key servers [1]. Most people did not use this method, and were in any case discouraged from doing so, so the damage caused (if any, and none has been publicly ...

| | | | | | | | | | efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Red imported fire ant - Overview Fire ants are more aggressive than most native ant species and have a painful sting. A person typically encounters fire ants by inadvertently stepping into one of their mounds, which causes the ants to swarm up the person's legs, attacking en masse. The ants respond to pheremones that are released by the first ant to attack. The ants then swarm and immediately sting when any movement is sensed.
Fire ants are efficient competitors to other ants, and have been successful at enlarging their range, notably in the United States, whe ...
