Frequency Quotes

Acceptable read/write performance has only been possible through the use of a different tag design optimized for each regional frequency band. Demand is growing for a single RFID tag that can perform in all UHF RFID frequencies. RFID-fueled global commerce will benefit because product manufacturers can choose just one tag design for use around the world. - Bill Arnold

A tendency to drastically underestimate the frequency of coincidence is a prime characteristic of innumerates, who generally accord great significance to correspondences of all sorts while attributing too little significance to quite conclusive but l. - John Allen Paulos

A key question in the global climate debate is if the climate warms in the future, will the water cycle intensify and what will be the nature of that intensification. This is important because intensification of the water cycle could change water availability and increase the frequency of tropical storms, floods, and droughts, and increased water vapor in the atmosphere could amplify climate warming. - Thomas Huntington

[Smaller jets. The number of flights is increasing mainly because airlines are replacing large planes with smaller ones. Flying regional jets saves money and lets airlines offer more frequency on routes, but] you now have 10 planes doing what eight could do... That tends to exacerbate delays. - Michael Ball

[Of intense interest will be a Cassini determination of the periodicity in the appearance of spokes. This will require monitoring spoke activity from a variety of geometries over several years.] Cassini has found that the SKR period has changed since Voyager, which though hard to believe, may mean that the rotation of Saturn's interior has changed, ... That would be a finding of enormous consequence, so, we'll be looking very closely to see if the frequency of spoke activity has changed too. - Carolyn Porco

[Blockbuster said that the $250 million to $300 million generated by late fees will be made up by revenue coming from greater frequency of rentals.] The no-late-fee program has performed very well... We have said that by the first quarter of 2006, we believe that overall rental revenues will be greater than if we would have charged an extended viewing fee. - Randy Hargrove

[According to United spokesman Jeff Green, the world's No. 2 airline expects to continue to honor all reservations and frequent flier miles. Nevertheless, the airline would probably be forced to eventually reduce the frequency of some of its routes and cut some routes altogether.] Obviously some flights might go away... Obviously we'll need to cut costs. - Jeff Green

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

(Atlantic) cyclones have been increasing in numbers since 1995, but one can't say with certainty that there is a link to global warming. There have been other high-frequency periods for storms, such as in the 1950s and 60s, and it could be that what we are seeing now is simply part of a cycle, with highs and lows. - Patrick Galois
