  1. Economy 10

    Economy 10 is the name of a tariff provided by United Kingdom electricity suppliers created in 2004. ref http www.electric connections.com kalirel economy10.html ref Similar to the Economy 7 this is designed to be used with high thermal mass heating such as storage heater s, underfloor heating , and is also used with electrical boilers driving radiators or water based heat stores. In contrast to Economy 7, which only provides off peak electricity during night time hours, Economy 10 tariffs provide 10 hours of off peak heating split between night, afternoon and evening. The advantage of this scheme is that by matching the storage periods better to the times when heat is required, less heat needs to be stored during the day, when there may be no demand for heating. The afternoon and evening periods also provide a top up to heating systems at off peak prices. Off peak electricity costs can be half of peak prices, but many Economy 10 tariffs levy an increased standing daily charge. The structure of the 10 off peak hours is as follows 3 hours in the afternoon 1pm 4pm 2 hours in the evening 8pm 10pm 5 hours overnight Midnight 5am Times vary across suppliers, and are switched automatically. It s common for the switching times to be locked to either GMT or BST when the meter is installed. Some metering systems use a radio teleswitch controlled by the supplier to vary switching times, and effect the Daylight Saving Time switchover twice a year. Economy 10 thus requires a special multi tariff meter, different from an Economy 7 meter.

  1. Economy rice

    Orphan date February 2009 File Economy rice dishes.jpg thumb right Economy rice dishes Economy rice , found in Singapore , Malaysia and Thailand , refers not to a specific dish in the Singaporean, Malaysian and Thai pantheon of cuisine, but rather to a type of food or a food stall commonly found in hawker centre s , street vendors or food courts in these countries. Economy rice is also commonly referred to as chap fan or mixed rice. Economy rice stalls typically consist of a glass case containing anywhere from 10 15 troughs of cooked food, including meat, vegetables, eggs and tofu. Customers select any combination of these dishes, which are served accompanied by a portion of steamed white rice. In Malaysia, it is more common to find the food on open troughs kept warm by hot water and an electric heater below. Better quality economy rice stalls have warmers beneath the troughs of food which ensure that food is served hot. However, the vast majority simply allow the food to cool and serve it to customers at room temperature. It is necessary to patronize these stalls early when they have just opened for business if one is determined to consume only fresh, hot food. However, a plate of lukewarm food is accepted as the de facto standard.

  1. Lithium economy

    Or date April 2011 Unreferenced date April 2011 Notability date April 2011 The lithium economy is a concept analogous to the hydrogen economy , methanol economy , ethanol economy , electron economy, vegetable oil economy , or liquid nitrogen economy but where the energy vector is lithium . Analogous economies are the aluminium economy where the energy vector fuel is aluminium typically aluminium gallium . The hydrogen economy as a low carbon solution to land transport has problems in generation, distribution infrastructure , on board storage and cost of power converter fuel cell . The lithium economy has analogous problems in all four areas, but considered separately, the routes to their solution have different absolute limits and different timescales for their solutions. The lithium economy concept is used primarily as a political argument to prevent over domination of the post carbon energy future by oil companies and as a post carbon economy on which action can be taken now instead of deferred to some future date see FreedomCAR project . The lithium economy differs from the other proposed future fuel economies in that the transition roadmap begins with conventional rechargeable batteries using conventional Lithium ion battery Li ion or Lithium ion polymer battery Lithium polymer cell batteries and progressing to chemistries such as Lithium sulfur battery Li S and Lithium iron phosphate battery Li iron phosphate and cell types with higher energy densities. Eventually, anode replacement Li air or Li water cells are envisaged where only anodes lithium metal are replaced. The energy is stored in unoxidised lithium atoms, which release energy when oxidised. A lithium atom is seven times as heavy as a hydrogen atom, and at room temperature, hydrogen is a gas, while lithium is solid. This means energy per mass is much worse, but since lithium is much more compact , it has more energy per volume. In fact, storing hydrogen requires so much ancillary equipment or material that lithium ...   more details

  1. Judicial economy

    Unreferenced date April 2007 Judicial economy refers broadly to the principle that the limited resources of the legal system or a given court should be conserved. Multiple causes of action in a given case Judicial economy most commonly refers to the refusal of a court to decide one or more claims raised in a case, on the grounds that it has decided other claims in the case and that its decision on those claims should satisfy the parties. For example, the plaintiff may claim that the defendant s actions violated three distinct laws. Having found for the plaintiff for a violation of the first law, the court then has the discretion to exercise judicial economy and refuse to make a decision on the remaining two claims, on the grounds that the finding of one violation should be sufficient to satisfy the plaintiff. Threshold issue in a given case In the presence of a threshold issue that will ultimately decide a case, a court may elect to hear that issue rather than proceeding with a full blown trial. Class action lawsuits Class action lawsuit s are another example of judicial economy in action, as they are often tried as a single case, yet involve many cases with similar facts. Rather than trying each case individually, which would unduly burden the judicial system, the cases can be consolidated into a class action. issue preclusion Empty section date July 2010 claim preclusion DEFAULTSORT Judicial Economy Category Legal procedure Category Law and economics law term stub de Konzentrationsgrundsatz lt Proceso koncentracija pt Princ pio da concentra o ...   more details

  1. Subsistence economy

    Economic systems sidebar A subsistence economy is an economy which refers simply to the gathering or amassment of objects of value the increase in wealth or the creation of wealth. Capital can be generally defined as assets invested with the expectation that their value will increase, usually because there is the expectation of profit, rent, interest, royalties, capital gain or some other kind of return. However, this type of economy cannot usually become wealthy by virtue of the system, and instead requires further investments to stimulate economic growth. In other words, a subsistence economy only possesses enough goods to be used by a particular nation to maintain its existence and provides little to no surplus for other investments. Therefore, this type of economy aims to create economic stability so that capital can be accumulated and the inevitable economic surplus can be invested in other potentially lucrative business ventures.

  1. Neutron economy

    Unreferenced date March 2009 Neutron economy is defined as the ratio of an adjoint weighted average of the excess neutron production divided by an adjoint weighted average of the Nuclear fission fission production. The distribution of neutron energies in a nuclear reactor differs from the fission neutron spectrum due to the slowing down of neutrons in elastic and inelastic collisions with fuel, coolant and construction material. Neutrons slow down in elastic and inelastic collisions, until they are absorbed via Neutron capture or lost by leakage. Neutron economy is the balanced account, in a reactor, of the neutrons created and the neutrons lost through absorption by non fuel elements, resonance absorption by fuel, and leakage while fast and thermal energy ranges. The quantity that indicates how much the neutron economy is out of balance is given the term Reactivity . If a reactor is exactly critical mass nuclear critical that is, the neutron production is exactly equal to neutron destruction then the reactivity is zero. If the reactivity is positive then the reactor is critical mass nuclear supercritical . If the reactivity is negative then the reactor is critical mass nuclear subcritical . However the term neutron economy is used not just for the instantaneous reactivity of a reactor but also to describe the overall efficiency of a nuclear reactor design.

  1. Regular economy

    A regular economy is an economy characterized by an excess demand function which has the property that its slope at any equilibrium price vector is non zero. In other words, if we graph the excess demand function against prices, then the excess demand function cuts the x axis assuring that each equilibrium is locally unique. Local uniqueness in turn permits the use of comparative statics an analysis of how the economy responds to external shocks as long as these shocks are not too large. An important result due to G rard Debreu Debreu 1970 states that almost any economy, defined by an initial distribution of consumer s endowments, is regular. In technical terms, the set of nonregular economies is of Lebesgue measure zero. Combined with the Hopf index theorem index theorem this result implies that almost any economy will have a finite and odd number of equilibria.

  1. Economy of affection

    The Economy of Affection is term introduced by G ran Hyd n to describe a network of interactions, communications and support among certain peasant groups in parts of East Africa. These groups, identified in terms of their relationship to structure,are united by kinship, community, religion or other affinities. The functional purposes of this economy of affection invovles survival, social maintenance and development. The kind of relationships and values which form the basis for subsistence in East Africa have been destroyed in most of the world by the emergence of capitalism. But in such subsaharan African village, as studied by Hyden, their economies have not yet been captured by the capitalism and their peasantry remains unproletarianised. The key issue here for Hyden is that the social values of the market are still underdeveloped. The East African peasantry still is able to choose to operate at least parially in the traditional morality based economy and the true market system. This then explains why a rational response to market incentives might be strnethen his position in the economy of affection ref Hyden, G. 1980 Beyond Ujamaa in Tanzania underdevelopment and an uncaptured peasantry, London ref ref Hyden, G. 1983 No Shortcut to Progress African development in perspective, London ref ref Waters, Tony 1992 A Cultural Analysis of the Economy of Affection and the Uncaptured Peasantry in Tanzania, The Journal of Modern African Studies , Vol. 30, No. 1 Mar., pp. 163 175 http www.jstor.org stable 161051 ref References Reflist Category Rural community development Category International development Category Rural economics ...   more details

    Idea Economy , sometimes also called Ideas Economy , refers to the concept that increasingly, a new economy is emerging that is being driven by ideas that are being created, transacted, implemented and used to create wealth. Origins The concept that ideas were becoming a currency by themselves, in contrast with economies which dealt with products and services has been put forth by several commentators ref http www.nytimes.com 2005 10 02 technology 02iht IPRpatents.html? r 1&pagewanted all ref , ref ideas.economist.com ref .

The increasing penetration of the Internet and mobile phones has resulted in a multi billion customer global market, and the wealth generation potential for such technological ideas is clear.

  1. Preorder economy

    A preorder economy is a type of proposed future economy where the exact demand for goods is known ahead of time, before any material production takes place. It has been discussed within the framework of ecological economics . Just in time manufacturing Creating a preorder economy has recently been proposed Citation needed date December 2011 as an economic efficiency solution to the environmental problems facing modern society. These environmental challenges are believed by whom? date December 2011 to be caused in part by unsustainable levels of production, consumption and advertising related to the imperfect exchange of information in market economies. Therefore preorder economy theory advocates using the Internet as the means to coordinate all production with existing consumer desires, so that almost nothing is made which does not have someone ready to buy it. This is the idea of Just In Time business just in time manufacturing taken to its logical end. Environmental benefits Significant environmental benefits are argued to come from the elimination of wasteful overproduction Citation needed date December 2011 . Consumers could potentially benefit from the preorder economy because their preferences could be met much more accurately and they could gain direct input into the invention and design of the products they buy. Since manufacturers would no longer need to try to persuade people to buy what had already been made, advertising would supposedly decline in a preorder system. This might mean consumers would be satisfied with a lower level of total consumption, which is good for the environment. Finally, companies could benefit from a dramatic reduction in the risk of doing business, since they would know their product lines would always sell out. editorializing date December 2011 See also Assurance contract References Stanley, C. 2006 The Preorder Economy Coordinating ... and Employment, Vol. 2, Nos. 2 3, pp.  180 205.

  1. Internet economy

    cleanup date July 2010 The internet economy conducts business through markets whose infrastructure is based on the Internet and World Wide Web. An Internet economy differs from a traditional economy in a number of ways, including communication, market segmentation, distribution costs, and price. Internet economy Ghosh 1998 states that businesses cannot avoid the internet economy. They must recognize and understand that there are both global opportunities available as well as risks of not participating. They note that through the internet , any participant in a value chain can usurp the role of any other participant. Due to the enormous quantity of connected users, the incredible speed that information travels, and the irrelevance of distance, firms can offer goods and services not locally, but to potential customers across the entire globe. As stated by Gregory Mankiw 2003 Advances in information technology, such as the Internet, have been profound and have influenced many parts of the economy . As an example of a business segment which can dramatically benefit from this new Internet economy is a university. Besides being able to provide education to on campus students, it is now possible to provide online classes across the world, using streaming media technology to deliver the very same class to anyone plugged to the Internet, with lower costs.
