Clearly, there are many places where diesel is king or gas-turbine is king, or IC engines will win, but there are many places in the world where, as we've seen, they just won't do the job. The modern version of the Stirling engine has some very, very attractive characteristics, and we're trying to optimize it for some of those applications.

The comic is today's western, so many movies, and I think that if actors want to optimize their longevity, it's important for them to meet the fans because those fans are so loyal and will show up at any movie or tune in to any television show they're on.

You don't train someone for all of those years of medical school and residency, particularly people who want to help others optimize their physical and psychological health, and then have them run a claims-processing operation for insurance companies.

Now that digital lifestyle devices, tablets, wireless phones, and other Internet appliances are beginning to come of age, we need to worry about presenting our content to these devices so that it is optimized for their display capabilities.

Search engine marketing and search engine optimization are critically important to online businesses. You can spend every penny you have on a website, but it will all be for nothing if nobody knows your site is there.

Though decisions regarding work/life balance are important and vary widely from person to person, it may not be wise in the long run to optimize for doing the bare minimum at work.

Bringing more large sporting events to Africa would help the continent develop sports policies and at the same time optimize its peoples' chances of achieving competitive success.

Teaching people to eat doesn't make a lot of money. Nevertheless, most of us go into medicine because of a genuine desire to help people and optimize their health.

We believe that the best Web content optimization strategy is something as old as journalism itself: the shocking truth and the authentic opinion.

British Journalist

Optimize suggests improvement with constraints, such as time, resources, or conditions.

Context Matters

Use optimize when the goal is to achieve the best result, not just to make changes.

Result-Driven

Optimizing can imply an ongoing effort to improve, not a one-time fix.

Continuous Process

In computing, optimize is specific to technical refinement for speed, cost, or performance.

Technical Precision

Optimization in computing usually requires expertise and in-depth knowledge of the system.

Expert Task

In tech contexts, to optimize often means enhancing the functionality to achieve peak operation.

Performance Focus

 - It's an important point to recognize that going to Mars is going to be what they call sociotechnological. It is not just going to be the technical that takes us there. It's not just going to be the sociological or the psychological. It is going to be the interaction of those two things, the optimization of those two things,

 But there's an optimization, because the deeper you make that contactor, the more energy you're spending on bubbling all that air through. So air contactors for direct air capture have this unique characteristic design, where they have this huge surface area, but a relatively thin thickness.

 Optimizing for the self in the short term isn't optimal for anyone in the long term. That's a simplified example, but the tragedy of the commons plays out in the more complex systems of real life, too. The overuse of antibiotics has led to short-term gains in livestock production

 the use of multiple beams also gives doctors flexibility. They can optimize the best angles and routes through brain tissue to reach the target and adjust the intensity within each beam as necessary. This helps spare critical structures within the brain.
