Even as global warming increases the frequency of El Nino and the Atlantic event, their effects are being amplified by the annual loss of an area of rain forest the size of New Jersey. Less rain falls, and the water runs into the rivers instead of being sucked up by the fungus filaments and tree roots.

My hope is for a literature that raises the language above the ordinary, makes words both functional and emotional, and to resonate at the frequency of the human spirit - the skill and insight of the writer lifting the parochial novel above the level of regional concern. Making it personal, national, and universal.

The bestseller charts, a sure indicator of public taste, tell us with relentless frequency that Marian Keyes or Jeffrey Archer is a better author, by some dizzying six-figure sum, both in numbers of copies and money, than, say, J. M. Coetzee or Patrick White. Are they right?

The math is dead simple: it seems that the frequency of planets able to support life is roughly one percent. In other words, a billion or more such worlds exist in our galaxy alone. That's a lot of acreage, and it takes industrial-strength credulity to believe it's all bleakly barren.

I'm always open to the possibility that somebody's got a better idea than I have. It happens with some frequency.

It is with unwelcome frequency that I find myself the deciding vote.

I would be surprised to see any airlines go under before New Year's, but holiday schedule disruptions could be problematic, ...

We won't be able to stop disasters from happening. On the contrary, climate change may increase the frequency and severity of floods, droughts and storms. But we are better equipped today to prepare for them and reduce their impact.

Frequency is very important in order to retain the relationships and the continuity. Business moves a lot in a month, and if you have issues that need to be dealt with, you want to get together with people who can help you in real time, rather than have to wait several months.

What you get to in the pretty near future is a mass medium with potentially greater reach and more frequency than other media.

Relationships with our customers have never been better. We made the investment into their emotional bank accounts, and they are paying the dividends with their increased frequency and ticket averages. It truly is a win-win relationship.

Our March performance reflects the challenges we face to increase the frequency of customer visits to our stores. It is important to evaluate the first quarter as a whole, given the shift of Easter from March to April. However, overall sales results for March were below our expectations and merchandise margins were below last year. Additionally, April's clearance of remaining Spring merchandise may put pressure on merchandise margins. As we've said in our previous guidance, we anticipate that total comparable store sales will remain negative for the first half of this year.

People like Smokey Bones, but they don't come with the visit frequency that we would like. We think that a lot of it has to do with a positioning that is more barbecue-centric than it should be.

Just because the plane's moving around doesn't change the fact that (the signal) is broadcast on a frequency. ... The Cubans figure out what frequency it's on; they jam it.

I think one thing that helped the sound change, it's a real subtle thing; it's just one switch on my bass, it has three positions, and I usually boost the mid-range frequency, I lowered the frequency that I boost, and that goes out to the sound system, too.

It basically has a crystal in it whose frequency is proportional to a temperature, ... As the temperature increases, the frequency increases and vice versa.

I think it is an act of medical malpractice to do human reproductive cloning when animal data shows how risky it is -- how high the frequency is of miscarriage, birth defects and even life problems with other species. We've been unsuccessful at doing this in our closest animal relatives.

I think it's a phenomenal net plus for business travelers. We're going to have a smaller industry that by necessity means there won't be the frequency of flights and convenience for some people. But up through 2000, 90 percent of my time was spent on three issues -- skyrocketing business fares, gridlock at airports and worsening service levels. I think those three issues will be resolved over the next few years.

We have all seen the devastation caused by the last two hurricane seasons. We have become aware of the predictions of future storm activity both in frequency and severity. It became clear that we had to take appropriate, measured steps to manage our high concentration of market share in the impacted counties.

Most businesses and individuals don't need to have on their staff a Digital Sherlock Holmes but they should have plans to identify and preserve important digital evidence such as email, web transactions, PCs, PDAs and cellphones - and have a broad understanding of some of the associated legal problems such as admissibility and privacy. It is very odd that organisations have in place contingency plans for low likelihood/high impact events like fire and terrorism but nothing for common place high frequency events.

We are now at the point where there is a clear coalescing around the 2.3 to 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It looks likely that the planet is going to be able to be covered using those frequency bands.

(We're) as prepared as we should be given the lack of frequency of earthquakes and the lack of intensity of earthquakes.

Traditional high frequency circuit designs have relied on deep pipelines and/or aggressive dynamic circuits. New low-latency static circuit fixed-point (FXU) and binary floating point (BFU) units naturally achieve high frequency without resorting to super deep pipelines or power-hungry circuits.

When you win with the frequency that they did, you're playing with a lot of confidence. That adrenaline takes you a pretty good ways. All of a sudden you start losing, and maybe you start doubting yourself a little bit. Outside of that, it's a nice ball club with some nice talent over there.

Years ago, during a John Grisham phase, I tried to pinpoint exactly why I found Grisham's often predictable legal thrillers quite so comforting. The best answer I could come up with was the frequency with which Grisham tells us that his lead characters are sipping coffee. When it comes to food and drink, predictability can console.

We know any win we can get is really critical, especially on the road. We have a very busy month in terms of frequency of games. We're going to have to continue to hang in and fight every night and give ourselves a chance. We're right in the midst of this thing. There's a lot that's going to be going on over the next 25-30 games. You're going to see a lot of jockeying and a lot of position changes.

Electricity transmission operates on a frequency between 49.7 Hertz and 50.2 Hertz. What I have done is petitioned the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission and squeezed this band to now 49.9 Hertz to 50.1 Hertz. This will contain volatility.

Every European visitor to the United States is struck by the comparative rarity of what he would call a face, by the frequency of men and women who look like elderly babies. If he stays in the States for any length of time, he will learn that this cannot be put down to a lack of sensibility -- the American feels the joys and sufferings of human life as keenly as anybody else. The only plausible explanation I can find lies in his different attitude to the past. To have a face, in the European sense of the word, it would seem that one must not only enjoy and suffer but also desire to preserve the memory of even the most humiliating and unpleasant experiences of the past.

Our research indicates that guests who participate in frequency programs tend not to be as price sensitive because of the value and recognition they receive. HMC has developed a product that will benefit many hotels and hotel groups like ours.

Scientific fraud is not new to us. It is not rare, but it is not common either. It happens at a frequency that's high enough to bother certainly people in the United States Congress, and probably others as well. But it is not frequent enough to declare that because the peer review system cannot reliably detect it, something has to be done about the peer review system. I think the peer review system is not quite fine, but absolutely the best thing we have.

Our customers are challenged to design smaller and smaller devices that use fewer components, while providing highly accurate measurements and longer battery life. With its low current operation, frequency rejection and 22-bit resolution, the MCP3550 A/D converter addresses these challenges.

Even a two-degree climb in average global temperatures could cause crop failures in parts of the world that can least afford to lose the nourishment. The size of deserts would increase, along with the frequency and intensity of wildfires.

This is a very important first step--a radio that is capable of handling both standards in all of those frequency bands.

The sensor is programmed so that when a vibration of a certain frequency increases, it can respond. For example, it could shut down to protect the system, or turn on a light that warns the user that the motor should be inspected or replaced within a certain interval of time. This would enable the efficient replacement of a motor instead of waiting for it to blow.

The group that was out there was going good. I didn't want to disrupt that momentum at that point. You're getting into a high frequency of games. If you find a group that's clicking, you have to stick with them.

As we increased the riskiness of a target, the neurons' activity would go up in the same way the monkey's frequency of choosing that target would go up. It was amazing the degree to which the activity of these neurons paralleled the behavior of the monkeys. They looked like they were signaling, in fact, the monkeys' subjective valuation of that target.

Each of the state's nine underground mines is getting inspected and the state is complying with the law regarding the frequency of inspections.
