Human effort

The challenges for visualization are at least twofold. Easter graphics hardware will be required to display and manipulate more complex data displays. More importantly, the human effort required to develop visualization systems must be reduced. It is the realm of the expert programmer to implement a usable visualization system. General purpose tools that allow the nonexpert to import data in different formats into robust visualization systems are just beginning to appear. 

Anything produced by human effort, natural, or man-made processes. 

Social Factors. The personalities of co-w orkers and supervisors arc also factors to be considered when evaluating Uie workplace. The liigher Uie employee morale, Uie lower Uie potcnUal for accidents. Another factor is Uie relationship of one job to another, and wheUier Uie job requires Uie coordinating of information, materials, and human effort. 

Undoubtedly, the concern for relevance springs from a sense that not all is well with society, and that a shift of priorities in human efforts may be indicated. What kind of priorities There is within us a biologically intrinsic order of priorities, which reads something like survival > health > comfort > pleasure. 

Despite the use of 2.5 million tons of pesticide worldwide, approximately 35% of potential crop production is lost to pests. An additional 20% is lost to pests that attack the food post-harvest. Thus, nearly one-half of all potential world food supply is lost to pests despite human efforts to prevent this loss. Pesticides, in addition to saving about 10% of world food supply, cause serious environmental and public health problems. These problems include human pesticide poisonings fish and bird kills destruction of beneficial natural enemies pesticide resistance contamination of food and water with pesticide residues and inadvertent destruction of some crops. 

Automate. Much of the human effort in VS arises at the point of combining various hit lists, followed by scoring and selection. The more this can be automated, the more efficient the VS experiment becomes. 

Mariculture Human efforts at the cultivation and propagation of seafood. 

In the 2,900 years between 1,000 B.C. and 1900 A.D., man learned to use animals to till the soil and to control weeds. Improved tools led to better cultural methods and even greater decreases in the human effort required for weed control. By 1920, in this country, perhaps 40% of the energy input to weed control was human, 60% animal. 

Societal progress and development depend on the knowledge and proper use of chemical substances using a pragmatic approach—certainly not by misuse or reckless imposition of bans on chemical substances. There are no safe chemical snb-stances. Hnge amonnts of time, money, and human effort have been spent to identify... 

If we consider the example of Fig. 5.10, when the reagents are selected to produce a20x lOx 10 = 2000-membered library we end up with combined monomer sets composed of 40, rather than 3500, individuals (Fig. 5.11, top). If the 2000 most diverse library components are selected from the product space (Fig. 5.11, bottom), it may be that a significant fraction, or even all, the virtual monomers from one set must be used to prepare them, so that the library cost, in terms of both reagents and human effort, is not significantly reduced. This selection problem was noticed (31) during the selection from a virtual library of the 1600 most diverse amides, which were found to contain 137 amine and 146 carboxylic acid building blocks (19,992 possible combi-... 

At the high end of the simulation spectrum considerable human effort is needed and can be motivated by the intrinsic scientific or technical nature of the problem. The software developed should have a long useful lifetime and overall efficiency and speed should be of primary importance [61]. However, the list of very promising parallel computer vendors that are no longer in business has been growing for each year during this decade. Despite this fact, software for programming parallel computers has made a number of important advances in... 

Mechanization may be defined as the use of instruments or other devices to reduce or replace human effort. Automation fulfills the same task but in addition replaces the human faculties of observation and decision. The operator initiates the process which is thereafter self-controlling and self-correcting signals are fed back into the system to control it so that, once started, no further human intervention is required. True automation has so far been rarely achieved in analytical instruments, most of which are best described as mechanized. 

The answers assembled by these studies have differed because the assumptions used to define the question have been different. A recently encountered expression, used in description of an entirely different human effort, is nevertheless appropriate in the context of human effort in general "...while not perfect...is probably as near to perfection as possible." There must come a time in the development of an enterprise when an end to study is called and the proposal subjected to a test. The feasibility of the densification/refinement of fuels from residual biomass sources is currently being tested. 

Much human effort was involved in debating and preparing this treaty. The United States Senate voted unanimously to reject the treaty. President Bush has said that he will not support the treaty. The... 

We did not really precisely accumulate the total human effort. However, 3 different rough calculations come to the same result of person years of fully-paid scientists (a) looking at the above total sum and regarding the average salary, (b) counting the number of involved scientists of Appendix A.2 thereby regarding which of them had looser connections and, therefore, should only be counted part-time, and (c) looking on the number of finished Ph.d. projects of Sect. 8.4.
