These approaches may initially have a high cost due to technological development and deployment and may also have a slower rate of environmental improvement.

Speak slower, please.

Please speak slower.

His pace was slower.

Heart rates are slower you live longer diffusion of oxygen and resources across membranes is slower, etc.

Few would argue against China s need for slower but better growth. The problem is that if China wishes to lower the GDP growth rate to 7.5 in 2012, from 9.2 in 2011, without worsening the growth pattern by raising the high investment rate even further, the annual growth rate of investment must be equal to or less than 7.5 .

And you'll get slower and slower, until eventually you're back to running the same speed you were at age 19.

If I put some tension on my body, tension on my suit, I can make it fly. And as you see the fall rate is much much slower because of the bigger surface.

So, slower growth, and more variation.

Can you speak a little slower please?

So they are, intrinsically, a slower life form.

They want to get back to slower rhythms.

If there were no massive objects these things would go flying off, or at least go at a much slower rate because all that determines how they go around is how much mass is inside its orbit.

Down here you can see slower evolution less diversity.

Taken together, these appointments demonstrate the new Chinese leadership s emphasis on pro market reforms and a shift from heavy industry to greater reliance on consumption and services. That shift is likely to mean a slower rate of GDP growth than the annual rate of nearly 10 that China achieved during the last three decades.

Stop inhaling your food. You should eat a little slower.

Here also, progress has been uneven and slower than anticipated.

It is probable, however, that the above stated goal will not be met, as the current rate of discovery is somewhat slower than expected, mainly because there are objects in dynamical conditions that can only be discovered if sufficiently powerful instruments are used.

Coral reefs are growing slower in some places because of this problem.

You say, Mr. President, that you will do it at a slightly slower pace, but I hope that it will only be slightly slower than the pace I have just suggested as being needed.

I'm sorry, I do not understand. Can you repeat it a little slower?

The second implication of the absence of fiscal transfers is that countries need to invest more in other mechanisms to share the cost of shocks. Even with more flexible economies, internal adjustment will always be slower than it would be if countries had their own exchange rate.

But a slowdown in China s economic growth cannot really be blamed for slower sales of luxury goods or empty malls. The annual growth rate of China s 7.5 trillion economy decelerated to 7.6 in the second quarter, from 8.1 in January March hardly a cause for panic.

Women usually staff lower levels and are promoted at a slower pace than men.

And my laptop runs slower, less reliably and less pleasantly than it ever has before.

Non core resources more than doubled, while core resources grew at a much slower pace.

The Himalayan glaciers have not stopped losing mass, although they are losing it at a somewhat slower rate than before. Evidence collected on 466 glaciers by the Indian Space Applications Center from 1962 to 2004 shows a 21 loss of glacier area and a 30.8 of glacier volume.

Final sales to households, businesses, and foreign buyers rose at only a 1.1 annual rate, even slower than earlier in the year. And the preliminary estimate for annual GDP growth in the first quarter of 2012 was a disappointing 2.2 , with only a 1.6 rise in final sales.

Historically, housing prices have shown a lot of momentum, and prices in all these cities are still going up at a brisk rate, though usually somewhat slower than a year or more ago. Based on extrapolation of growth trends, it looks safe to predict that prices will go up substantially in most of these places for another year or more, even as the rate of increase continues to decline.

Of course there were a few changes, but tools changed slower than skeletons in those days.

However, job growth was slower than 2002, when 585,000 new jobs were created (3.9 percent growth).

Investors are talking of green shoots of recovery and of positive second derivatives of economic activity (continuing economic contraction is the first, negative, derivative, but the slower rate suggests that the bottom is near). As a result, stock markets have started to rally in the US and around the world.

Furthermore, information technology resources have been reduced by 5 per cent through a slower equipment replacement plan.

Nonetheless, although progress has been somewhat slower than expected, the unification process in Mostar remains on track.

Progress was slower in the judicial sector, however, in part due to unresolved conflicts between judicial authorities.

Back in the early 1990's, American officials like me who were making long term forecasts for the Clinton administration cautioned that it would be rash to forecast an average long run growth rate of more than 2.5 per year and that actual growth might turn out to be even slower. Now we look back at a decade during which the American economy has grown at an average rate of 3.4 per year.

Economic adjustment is necessarily slower within a monetary union than it is for countries with their own currency, because, even for very flexible economies, prices change more slowly than the exchange rate. Delivering the same result therefore takes more time, and requires keeping countries in intensive care for longer and at higher cost.

So in this picture you see that rotor four is spinning faster and rotor two is spinning slower.

And you can see how South Korea is making a very, very fast advancement, whereas Brazil is much slower.

It used punch cards, which were being fed in, and it ran about 10,000 times slower the first ZX81.

This translates into about 900 billion of foregone goods and services this year alone a tremendous waste reflected in an unemployment rate of 7.9 and a poverty rate of 15 , significantly higher than the average of the past 30 years. And the waste accumulates over time the longer the economy operates far below its capacity, the slower the growth in its future capacity as a result of diminished risk taking, foregone investment, and erosion of the skills base.

iPhone s fast charging function charges the battery quickly until to 80 of its capacity, then switches to slower trickle charging.

Because if you have cleaner water and slower water, you can imagine a new way of living with that water.

Dinosaur evolution proceeded at a stately pace, an order of magnitude slower on any way you want to measure it.

In cases where imported goods, to which contractual tariff rate or preferential tariff rate is applicable are subject to temporary rate, the lower tariff rate shall apply.
