cutting

Examples of cutting in the following topics:

• Buddhist Rock-Cut Architecture

  • Rock-cut architecture is the practice of creating a structure by carving it out of solid natural rock.
  • Rock-cut architecture is the practice of creating a structure by carving it out of solid natural rock.
  • In India, the term ‘cave' is often applied in reference to rock-cut architecture; however, it must be distinguished from a naturally-occurring cave, as rock-cut architecture is a highly engineered and elaborately decorated structure.
  • As their endowments grew, rock-cut temple interiors become more and more elaborate and decorated.
  • A notable trait of rock-cut architecture is the crafting of rock to imitate timbered and carved wood.

• Episiotomy

  • An episiotomy is a cut made to the perineum to allow a baby to be born without tearing the perineum.
  • Some physicians, however, may cut the perineum preemptively, on the grounds that tearing may be more harmful than a precise cut by a scalpel.
  • When physicians decide the cut is necessary, they will perform it.
  • The cut is called an episiotomy.
  • The cut is repaired with stitches (sutures).

• Blocks and cut-points

  • The divisions into which cut-points divide a graph are called blocks.
  • The UCINET algorithm Network>Regions>Bi-Component locates and identifies blocks and cut-points.
  • Node 3, then, is a cut-point.

• General energy reduction

  • Some electricity providers invest in wind, solar or tidal energy and provide these options to their customers so they can cut CO2 emissions.
  • A 2% decrease during the day can cut energy bills by 2.5%.
  • Setting the thermostat back 10° at night can cut 15% off energy bills.
  • Good maintenance can reduce heating bills by 5% and cut electrical bills by 2%.
  • If everybody in the USA paid his or her bills online, the nation's annual paper waste would be reduced by 1.6 tons and greenhouse gas emissions would be cut by 2.1 million tons.

• Budget Cuts

  • Reagan made cuts to many key anti-poverty, community development and education programs, earning criticism as biased in favor of the rich.
  • Reagan implemented policies based on supply-side economics and advocated a classical liberal and laissez-faire philosophy, seeking to stimulate the economy with large, across-the-board tax cuts.
  • Despite the fact that TEFRA was the "largest peacetime tax increase in American history," Reagan is better known for his tax cuts and lower-taxes philosophy.
  • Along with Reagan's 1981 cut in the top regular tax rate on unearned income, he reduced the maximum capital gains rate to only 20% – its lowest level since the Hoover administration.
  • Following his less-government intervention views, Reagan cut the budgets of non-military programs including Medicaid, food stamps, federal education programs and the EPA.

• Fiscal Levers: Spending and Taxation

  • Tax cuts have a smaller affect on aggregate demand than increased government spending.
  • In expansionary fiscal policy, the government increases its spending, cuts taxes, or a combination of both.
  • The increase in spending and tax cuts will increase aggregate demand, but the extent of the increase depends on the spending and tax multipliers.
  • When the government cuts taxes instead, there is an increase in disposable income.
  • The multiplier effect of a tax cut can be affected by the size of the tax cut, the marginal propensity to consume, as well as the crowding out effect.

• F-groups

  • One approach would be to simply dichotomize the data (maybe at several different cut-points).
  • A weakly transitive triad is formed if the ties XY and YZ are both stronger than the tie XZ, but the tie XZ is greater than some cut-off value.
  • The user selects the cut-off value for what constitutes a weak tie.
  • We have set our cut-off for a "weak tie" to be three campaigns in common.

• If recycling has so many disadvantages, why do so many businesses ignore it?

  • ‘So let me get this straight,' a student once remarked, ‘reuse, repair, remanufacturing and recycling the products and materials we throw away [he held up a finger to emphasize each point]: (1) drastically cut a company's energy needs, (2) lower raw material costs, (3) reduce climate-change problems, (4) employ more people and (5) can lower production costs up to 70% or more, and yet most of the world's businesses don't take part in any of them?
  • Economists claim that if the possibilities of cutting costs and increasing profits exist, companies operating in a free market will eventually find these savings whether or not government intervenes.

• Dystocia and Cesarean Section

  • The classical incision involves a midline longitudinal cut in the uterus, which allows a larger space to deliver the baby.
  • However, it is rarely performed today, as it is more prone to complications and is only typically used in situations where the baby needs to be delivered very quickly and the latitudinal cut cannot be used for some reason.
  • The lower uterine incision involves a transverse cut just above the edge of the bladder, results in less blood loss, and is easier to repair.
  • The external cut is most typically horizontal, too.
  • It is often referred to as the bikini cut, as the skin incision is typically below the bikini line just above the pubic hair.

• Clinton's Promise of Change

  • His promise of welfare reform in the 1992 presidential campaign and its subsequent enactment epitomized the New Democrat position, as did his 1992 promise of a middle-class tax cut and his 1993 expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit for the working poor.
  • This Act raised taxes on the wealthiest 1.2% of taxpayers while cutting taxes on 15 million low-income families.
  • It also made tax cuts available to 90% of small businesses.
