Resources infinite

A quant requires some capacity of some resources, thus resulting in a start and end of a quant. Very often a quant will require just one resource but an infinite number of resources is possible as well. 

Consider the situation when sufficient quantities of raw and intermediate materials are present and the resource automata in Figure 10.4 are waiting in the idle locations. Without a scheduler which exactly determines the next production step, either Ri or f 2 or Rj can start processing a batch. The possible actions are s(Ti), s(T2), s(T3) or w(e) with e e R-°. Hence, the scheduler has to choose from a set of possible decisions. This set is infinite because the waiting time e is a real number. 

It is tempting for environmentalists to ignore economics and finance. After all, they say, the environment is more important than mere money. However, in the real world - where the rest of us live - we too want to improve and protect the environment, but this costs money and we recognise that without infinite resources we have to prioritise where we spend our money. We also recognise that if business does not make profits there will not be any money to spend So I make no apology for addressing the economics of cellroom conversion. 

DNA from any source can be utilized for pharmacogenetics research, including germline and tumor sources. Immortalized cell lines can provide an almost infinite DNA resource, and genotyping of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed immortalized lymphoblastoid cells has demonstrated similar allele frequencies to equivalent... 

In molecular orbital theory, there is a clear and well defined path to the exact solution of the Schrodinger equation. All we need do is express our wave function as a Unear combination of all possible configurations (full CI) and choose a basis set that is infinite in size, and we have arrived. While such a goal is essentially never practicable, at least the path to it can be followed unambiguously until computational resources fail. 

Since neutrons are an infinitely more expensive and limited resource than X rays, all neutron beam allocation committees normally require that an X-ray determination of the structure has aheady been completed and that the experiment represents one of those tasks that can be solved only by neutron diffraction, such as... 

Bioenergy is expected to become one of major energy resources for sustainable development of mankind. However, bioenergy supply potential cannot be infinite since land area available for biomass production is limited and a certain amount of biomass must be reserved for food and material. However, bioenergy can be produced not only from biocnergy plantations, which occupy land, but also from biomass residues (such as straw, animal dung, and wood scrap) which do not occupy land directly. These biomass residues are discliarged at various processes in biomass flow from harvest to consumption. 

When a country is very sparsely populated, as was the U.S. prior to the Industrial Revolution, the extent of land, water and other natural resources seems infinite. Disposal of liquid and solid wastes in those days wasn t even thought of as pollution . In fact, most of the wastes were organic, and readily absorbed into nature without deleterious effects. With industrialization, and the related growth of urbanization, the volume of wastes grew dramatically, and included large percentages of materials that nature could not degrade and absorb. Some of these materials were health hazards, notably petroleum residues and, more recently, radioactive materials. 

In this cyber age, learners are lucky to have an infinite wealth of resources to draw upon for inspiration and research. These include ... 

Human need is infinite and can never be completely satisfied by the finite productive capacity of any economy. A free market is efficient in regulating supply and demand, so what is produced just meets what is demanded with hard dollars. Since the market allocates a limited resource to those who can pay the price, some needs will not be satisfied. The free market differs from a centrally planned economy, where the government allocates a limited resource not according to individual purchasing power but according to overall political goals. Neither the free market nor the centrally planned economy can satisfy all needs.
