Diagram 6 illustrates the trade-off which occurs between program adequacy(horizontal efficiency) and measures of vertical efficiency as basic support levels are increased in this type of income supplementation scheme. As the program becomes more generous, additional low-income families benefit from the provisions and the low-income gap is reduced, but more higher-income families(...) also benefit. 1, record 1, English, - low%2Dincome%20gap

... the degree to which a program intended to benefit [a] group... reaches all members of this group... Horizontal efficiency may be defined in the two dimensions :(1) as the ratio of the number of beneficiaries in the target group to the total number of persons in the target group, and(2), as the ratio of benefits going to the target group to the total benefits "needed" by that group. 2, record 2, English, - horizontal%20efficiency

Line quadrupling is similar to line doubling except that the number of horizontal scan lines are increased by a factor of four instead of two. Increasing the horizontal scan rate by a factor of four(to 63 kHz), allows most CRT's [cathode ray tubes] to obtain a range of optimum efficiency, maximizing light output with projector light output up to 60% brighter than NTSC, PAL, or SECAM displays. In addition to increased picture brightness, the image becomes smoother and has a "film-like" quality. 2, record 4, English, - line%20quadrupling

Le quadruplement de lignes se rapproche du doublement de lignes sauf que le nombre de lignes de balayage horizontales augmente par quatre au lieu de deux. Le quadruplement (jusqu'à 63 kHz) du taux de balayage horizontal permet aussi à la plupart des écrans cathodiques d'atteindre un rendement optimal et une luminosité accrue. 1, record 4, French, - quadruplement%20de%20lignes
