In 1993, USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) published Emerging Technologies in Ethanol Production, a report on the then-current state of ethanol production technology and efficiency (Hohmann and Rendleman). The report included a summary of production costs (table 1) and predictions of “near-term” and “long-term” technological advances that many believed would bring down ethanol costs. The numbers were based on the costs of wet milling, which was then by far the greatest source of output. (Milling types are explained in the next section.

Given the slow development of markets, mergers to integrate vertically to help acquire inputs and market outputs led to the emergence of some very large companies and high levels of concentration, especially in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, the region’s three most land abundant countries. For example, in Russia, the 30 largest holdings farm 6.7 million ha or 5.5% of cultivated area and in Ukraine, the largest 40 control 4.5 million ha or 13.6% of cultivated area (Lissitsa 2010).

However, it is far from clear that this satisfies Dewey’s further requirement that doing and undergoing be joined in perception: very often, the action of scratching my scalp or toying with my ring is one of which I am hardly conscious. In addition, as we have already noted, it seems that a certain quality of attention is required in order to give experience a sense of consummation or closure, and that this may be absent in some or most of my examples even when I am aware of what is happening: I do not have an expectation about the...

It’s not about keeping our kids safe at school. That wasn’t even mentioned in the president’s speech. They only care about their decades-old gun control agenda — ban every gun they can, tax every gun sold and register every gun owner. This president has taken the art of public deception and manipulation to a whole new level. Consider his proposal for so-called “universal background checks.” At first glance, it sounds like a reasonable, good idea. But there’s nothing “universal” about it. Think about it. Criminals won’t be part of their universe.

This costly process is out of reach for many countries with limited resources, and as a result, many accept less stringent standards for registration. This reality also means that the number of registered products in a given country can vary widely since products are continuously being added and dropped from the list of registered medicines. In the Philippines, for example, more than 32 registered oxytocin products are available from 16 manufacturers.

The traditional way to build software, used by companies big and small, is commonly known as “The Waterfall”. There are many variants, but it typically begins with a detailed planning phase, where the end product is carefully thought through, designed, and documented in great detail. The tasks necessary to execute the design are determined, and the work is planned using tools like Gantt charts and programs like Microsoft Project. The team arrives at an estimate of how long the project will take by adding up detailed estimates of the individual steps involved.

The standard economic model assumes that the consumer makes a plan for consumption over time, aiming to satisfy a single set of dynamically consistent preferences, and then sticks to this plan, unless new information arrives. This framework is tractable, and intuitive in the sense that it captures the deliberative side of human decision-making. An alternative framework has recently gained the attention of economists, however, in which the consumer’s ability to adhere to a plan for consumption depends on the outcome of an internal struggle.

The similarity in sign and significance of the estimated coefficients for banks’ leverage to the standard corporate finance regression suggests that a pure regulatory view does not apply to banks’ capital structure. But can the results be explained by banks holding buffers of discretionary capital in order to avoid violating regulatory thresholds? Recall from Table IV that banks with higher market-to-book ratios, higher profits and that pay dividends should hold less discretionary capital since they can be expected to face lower costs of issuing equity.

For the process of a credit-financed investment expansion described above, the financial sector is of crucial importance. The Keynesian-Schumpeterian investment-saving nexus can only work if the financial sector is able and willing to extend credit to companies which wish to expand production and investment. In order for the process to work, different levels of the financial sector thus have to interact smoothly and fulfil certain tasks.

On July 15, 2008, in the wake of the failure of Indymac Bank – one of the largest bank failures in history – and a mounting cloud of uncertainty enveloping the banking industry, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) issued its Final Covered Bond Policy Statement (“Final Policy Statement”). In a move many view as an effort by the FDIC to bolster the mortgage market and provide banks with a new liquidity tool (and funding alternative to the struggling securitization market), the Final Policy Statement may open the way to a U.S. market in covered bonds.

The term of the loan refers to the time period over which you have the money. If it is an amortising loan, it is the time until the loan is paid off. For an amortising loan, the longer the term the lower the monthly payments (since you spread the repayment of the loan over a longer period). However, increasing the term of the loan also increases the total cost of a loan since you will be making payments for longer. Therefore, when taking out a loan, the consumer should focus on the total cost of the loan, as well as the monthly payments....

A six month notice was provided prior to nicotine testing for all employees. Those who tested positive were given the opportunity to enroll in smoking cessation programs and access to appropriate medications at no cost. The company screened options and then provided a list of acceptable smoking cessation programs in all states where they have operations.
