Return increased

Improperly set tolerances and uncontrolled variation are one of the greatest causes of defects, scrap, rework, warranty returns, increased product development cycle time, work flow disruption and the need for inspection (Gerth and Hancock, 1995). If manufacturing processes did not exhibit variation, quality problems would not arise, therefore reducing the effects of variability at the design stage, in a cost-effective way, improves product quality (Bergman, 1992 Kehoe, 1996). 

This IS also true for human hunter-gatherer societies. Without technology, people use about 1 calorie to gain 5 to 10 calories. The energy return increases to 20 calories through the use of shifting agricultural practices. 

A similar situation can arise in our children s play area. Seeing that the attendant is trying to return the balls to the bin, the kids might take on the challenge and begin to try to throw the balls out the opening. This increases the rate of escape and at first allows them to get ahead of the poor attendant, but as the concentration of the balls on the floor increases, his rate of return increases until the two rates are again equal. 

With exercise, cardiac output increases. In well-trained athletes, cardiac output can increase fivefold with maximum exercise. During exercise, heart rate increases, venous return increases, and the ejection fraction increases. Parenthetically, physically fit subjects have a low resting heart rate, and the time for the heart rate to return to the resting value after exercise is less than that for subjects who are not physically fit. 

Involving workers in the firm s financial returns also increases workers willingness to provide information concerning effective changes in HRM policy and practice. To the extent that this increases the returns to safety investments, or lowers the costs of safety investments, accidents will fall. The demand for safety outcomes may also increase if participation in financial returns increases workers wealth and thus lowers their willingness to bear workplace risk. 

Unlike the Rooney (1992) and Grunberg, Moore, and Greenberg (1996) studies. Park (1997) distinguishes between decision-making participation and financial-returns participation in his study of Minnesota workers compensation claims. Unexpectedly, Park found that employee participation in financial returns increased the injury rate, as did the interaction between financial returns and decision making. That is, as employee participation in the firm s financial returns rose, so did the injury rate, and the injury rate rose even more in firms with employee participation both in the firm s financial returns and in the firm s deci-... 

Early documentation of financial assumptions. Companies such as Hewlett-Packard measure how long it takes for new products to break even. The focus on a financial return increases the visibility and focuses developers attention on the importance of meeting cost and revenue targets. ... 

Age is a risk factor for human malignancies, including breast cancer. From Fig. 5, the women with age 40 -69 years old have the greater chance of breast cancer incidence. It means the Asian women tend to have the earlier presentation of breast cancer compare to the Western women (60-64 years). For women within 40-69 years old, the premenopausal and postmenopausal experienced by them will influence the reproductive factor which in return increase the potential risk of getting the breast cancer [7],... 

For a fixed wholesale price, as the buyback price increases, the retailer orders more and also returns more. In our analysis in Table 15-3, though, we have not considered the cost associated with a return. As the cost associated with a return increases, buyback contracts become less attractive because the cost of returns reduces supply chain profits. If return costs are high, buyback contracts can reduce the total profits of the supply chain far more than is the case without any buyback. 

New technologies are often characterised by increasing returns. Increasing returns result from growing networks and post-invention improvements. Most network effects, however, seem to be greatest within a region or country, and are small... 

These sources of waste from the steam system can be reduced by increasing the percentage of condensate returned (in addition to reducing steam generation by increased heat recovery). 

The PIF estimate is only a qualitative check on the potential benefit of a horizontal well. There is actually a diminishing return of production rate on the length of well drilled, due to increasing friction pressure drops with increasing well length, shown schematically in Figure 9.6. 

It is no longer acceptable in most countries to treat decommissioning as an issue that can be ignored until the end of a project. Increasingly operators are being required to return industrial sites to their original condition after use. Many operators now perform a base line survey before they build on an area so that the impact of operations can be quantified, and in some cases so that they are not held responsible for the pollution of previous site owners. 

Of course the real projectile-surface interaction potential is not infinitely hard (cf figure A3,9,2. As E increases, the projectile can penetrate deeper into the surface, so that at its turning point (where it momentarily stops before reversing direction to return to the gas phase), an energetic projectile interacts with fewer surface atoms, thus making the effective cube mass smaller. Thus, we expect bE/E to increase with E (and also with W since the well accelerates the projectile towards the surface). 

The Evolution of Methyl Iodide. The flask A (Fig. 89) is now heated with the non-luminous flame of the micro-burner. The immediate result of the heating will be an increase in the rate of bubbles passing up the absorption spiral no endeavour should be made to decrease this flow, however, as it will return to the original rate as soon as the hydro-... 

Otherwise expressed, the number of theoretical plates required for a given separation increases when the reflux ratio is decreased, i.e., when the amount of condensed vapour returned to the colunm is decreased and the amount distilled off becomes greater. 

Pinacolone. In a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask carrying a dropping funnel and a connection to a condenser set for distillation, place 50 g. of pinacol hydrate and 130 ml. of QN sulphuric acid. Distil the mixture until the upper layer of the distillate no longer increases in volume (15-20 minutes). Separate the pinacolone layer from the water and return the latter to the reaction flask. Then add 12 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid to the water, followed by a second 50 g. portion of pinacol hydrate. Repeat the distillation. Repeat the process twice more until 200 g. of pinacol hydrate have been used.
