[14] Conte (2014), 'Efficiency of RD Spending at national and regional level', Technical Report, Joint Research Centre, European Commission, presents a comprehensive analysis of the options and methodological approaches to compute scores to measure the efficiency of RD systems. The efficiency scores in Figure 3 are calculated using a statistical technique (Stochastic Frontier Analysis), which computes an efficiency frontier using total RD intensity as input measure and patents per capita as output measure, over the period 2005-2011.

The data recorded for plotting the load/deformation curve under traction, or the graph of that curve provided by the printer linked to the traction machine, shall be based on the application of increasing loads only, starting from 500 daN, in relation to the reference centre of the coupling device.

(3) The free surface effect of liquid in tanks shall be taken into account when computing a righting lever curve or a metacentric height for the purposes of
