Common Expressions: demand
| Expressions | Definition | ||
| Aggregation of individual demand to total, or market, demand | It has been known since at least 1953 (Gorman, W.M., Community Preference Fields, Econometrica, 21: 63-80) and 1982 (Shafer, W. and Sonnenschein, H., Market demand and excess demand functions, in K. J. Arrow and M. D. Intriligator (eds), Handbook of Mathematical Economics (Vol. II), North-Holland, Amsterdam) that no reasonable assumptions can circumvent these problems. (references) | ||
| Autonomous State Demand Committee | Autonomous State Demand Committee, originally the Peoples Democratic Front, was set-up as a mass organization of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation in order to fight for statehood for the Karbi Anlong region in the Indian state Assam. Several elections to the Lok Sabha and the District Council were won under ASDC banner. Dr. Jayanta Rongpi represented the area in the Lok Sabha, elected as the ASDC candidate in 1991, 1996 and 1998.

| Biochemical oxygen demand | In ecology, biochemical (biological) oxygen demand (BOD) is an indicator for the concentration of biodegradable organic matter present in a sample of water. It can be used to infer the general quality of the water and its degree of pollution. BOD measures the rate of uptake of oxygen by micro-organisms in the sample of water at a fixed temperature and over a given period of time. To ensure that all other conditions are equal, a very small amount of micro-organism seed is added to each sample being tested. This seed is typically generated by diluting activated sludge with de-ionised water. All samples being tested in any one batch are inoculated with an equal volume of seed including the sample control of de-ionised water saturated with oxygen. The BOD in the UK is carried out by diluting the sample with de-ionised water saturated with oxygen then sealing the sample (to prevent further oxygen dissolving in), and placing it in the dark (to prevent photosynthesis and thereby the addition of oxygen). This sample is kept at 20 °C in the dark and tested for dissolved oxygen (DO) after five days. The apparent BOD for the control is subtracted from the test result to provide the corrected value. The loss of dissolved oxygen in the sample, once corrections have been made for the degree of dilution, is called the BOD5. In the UK allyl thiurea is also added at the start of the test to prevent oxidation of ammonia. Results from such tests are represented as BOT5(ATU) and referred to as Carbonaceous BOD (CBOD) in the US. Less frequently used is the Ultimate BOD (UBOD) test, in which DO is repeatedly measured by DO meter in the same specialized bottles until it has reached equilibrium. (references) | ||
| Chemical oxygen demand | In environmental chemistry, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) test is commonly used to indirectly measure the amount of organic compounds in water. Most applications of COD determine the amount of organic pollutants found in surface water (e.g. lakes and rivers), making COD a useful measure of water quality. It is expressed in millgrams per liter (mg/L), which indicates the mass of oxygen consumed per liter of solution. Older references may express the units as parts per million (ppm). (references) | ||
| Code on demand | In computing, code on demand is a general term for any technology that sends executable software programs from a server computer to a client computer upon an explicit request from the client. (references) | ||
| Compensated demand curve | In economics, the compensated demand curve that shows how the substitution effect influences the number of units of a good the consumer will purchase. (references) | ||
| Cross elasticity of demand | In economics, the cross elasticity of demand or cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a change in the price of another good. (references) | ||
| Demand account | A demand account (or demand deposit, demand deposit account) is a deposit account held at a bank or other financial institution, the funds deposited in which are payable on demand. (references) | ||
| Demand curve | In economics, the demand curve can be defined as the graph depicting the relationship between the price of a certain commodity, and the amount of it that consumers are willing and able to purchase at that given price. (references) | ||

Specialty Expressions: demand
| Expressions | Domain | Definition | |
| ANNUAL MAXIMUM DEMAND | Energy | The greatest of alldemands of the electrical load which occurred during a prescribed interval in acalendar year. (references) | |
| Annual maximum demand | Physics | The greatest of all demands of the electrical load which occurred during a prescribed interval in a calendar year. (references) | |
| Applied Water Demand | Administration | The quantity of water delivered to the intake of a city’s water system or factory, the farm headgate or other point of measurement, or a marsh or other wetland, either directly or by incidental drainage. For instream use, it is the portion of the stream flow dedicated to instream use or reserved under federal or state legislation such as Wild and Scenic River Acts. Applied water includes the water that returns to groundwater, a stream, canal, or other supply source that can be reused or recycled and thus is not the same as Net Water Demand. (references) | |
| Authorized maximum demand | Engineering & Technology | The maximum demand, requested in advance by the consumer and authorized by the supply undertaking under the terms of an agreement, for which supply capacity is made available. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Average demand | Energy | The demand on, or the power output of, an electrical system or any of its parts over an interval of time, as determined by the total number of kilowatt-hours divided by the units of time in the interval. (references) | |
| Average demand | Physics | The energy demand in a given geographical area over a period of time. For example, the number of kilowatt-hours used in a 24-hour period, divided by 24, tells the average demand for that period. (references) | |
| Average Year Water Demand | Administration | The demand for water under average hydrologic conditions for a defined level of development. (references) | |
| Average year water demand | Energy | Demand for water under average hydrologic conditions for a defined level of development. (references) | |
| Baseload Demand | Energy | The minimum demand experienced by a power plant. (references) | |
| Biochemical oxygen demand | Agriculture | A measure of the amount of oxygen consumed by natural, biological processes that break down organic matter, such as those that take place when manure or sawdust is put in water. High levels of oxygen-demanding wastes in waters deplete dissolved oxygen (DO) thereby endangering aquatic life. Sometimes referred to as "biological oxygen demand. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a measure of the oxygen consumed when organic matter is broken down chemically rather than biologically. COD can be determined much more quickly than BOD and more accurately reflects the amount of organic matter in a water sample. BOD is a standard measure of water quality. (BOD). (references) | |
