Bamboo contains other organic composition in addition to cellulose and lignin. It contains about 2-6% starch, 2% deoxidized saccharide, 2-4% fat, and 0.8-6% protein. The carbohydrate content of bamboo plays an important role in its durability and service life. Durability of bamboo against mold, fungal and borers attack is strongly associated with its chemical composition. Bamboo is known to be susceptible to fungal and insect attack. The natural durability of bamboo varies between 1 and 36 months depending on the species and climatic condition [Liese 1980].

Accordingly, the Government has been considering the feasibility of getting local TV services on to the non-DTT platforms and has held discussions with these providers. The costs associated with broadcasting on the satellite platform in particular are likely to be prohibitive to most local TV service providers, primarily due to the high cost of transponder capacity that would be required in each location. In addition, the degree of localness that can be provided largely mirrors the current regional television structure rather than a specifically local one.

This report presents evidence of the growing use of laptop computers. Because of their inherent portability, accounting for laptops is difficult, especially during an after-hours survey, but our conservative estimate is that laptops comprise at least 10% of the non-server computers in our sample. We also estimate that laptops outnumbered desktop computers at two sites: one medium and one large office. To the extent that relatively energy-efficient laptops are replacing desktop computers, significant electrical energy is saved. However, more work is...

That public face has or may have an extra dimension – sprezzatura. The term, used by Baldassar Castiglione in his work ‘The book of the courtier’, was described by Stemp (2006, 6) as ‘a lightness of touch that a well educated man should have in a variety of activities such as music painting and writing’. Though determined by its time, the term anticipates the evolution of aesthetic labour. That is the main thrust, the main question of this paper. Castiglione goes on to state (1528, 67) that sprezzatura is ‘to practise in all things a certain nonchalance...

Almost all businesses start small. The U.S. Census Bureau’s Statistics of U.S. Businesses (SUSB) shows that over the last 20 years, about 95 percent of new employer firms started with fewer than 20 employees. Along with start-ups come closures. Firms with fewer than 20 employees also account for 95 percent of closures. This illustrates that business turnover is the domain of small businesses. Establishment turnover follows similar patterns.

Non-point source controls washed off fields is the largest source of agricultural pollution in the United States. Farmers may utilize to reduce runoff flows and retain soil on their fields. Common techniques include contour plowing, crop mulching, crop rotation, planting perennial crops and installing riparian buffers. Nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus are typically applied to farmland as commercial fertilizer; animal manure; or spraying of municipal or industrial waste water (effluent) or sludge.

The Internet, a loosely-organized international collaboration of autonomous, interconnected networks, supports host-to-host communication through voluntary adherence to open protocols and procedures defined by Internet Standards. There are also many isolated internets, i.e., sets of interconnected networks, which are not connected to the Internet but use the Internet Standards. Internet Standards were once limited to those protocols composing what has been commonly known as the "TCP/IP protocol suite".

Tax credits, if combined with outreach and education efforts and other complementary incentives (such as net metering), can also help drive the market for renewables. Clearly, states cannot expect any one of these incentives by itself to remove all the barriers to renewable energy technology development. This study provides some potent examples of program design and implementation elements that have enhanced and limited program effectiveness.

They were, one and all, from the broadest and best to the narrowest and least frequented, very dark. The oil and cotton lamps, though regularly trimmed twice or thrice in the long winter nights, burnt feebly at the best; and at a late hour, when they were unassisted by the lamps and candles in the shops, cast but a narrow track of doubtful light upon the footway, leaving the projecting doors and house-fronts in the deepest gloom. Many of the courts and lanes were left in total darkness; those of the meaner sort, where one glimmering light twinkled for a...

Use of the branch structure instead of subsidiaries could provide an affiliate or parent greater ability to withstand an idiosyncratic adverse shock for given levels of group capital and liquidity, so long as the shock is not so large as to threaten the viability of the group. This is because shocks in one part of the network may be offset by gains in another.

Current ‘envelope’ authorisations will be re-examined to ensure that they are still appropriate and represent BAT. In practice the plant may be over-designed for many of the reactions so that it accommodates the full range of operational conditions. The extra cost of this being offset against the commercial advantage the operator may secure through increased flexibility. If plant usage evolves into a single product then it must be optimised to ensure that it uses BAT to produce that product. Multi-product permits should not be seen as an option for less than adequate operation.

Amongst the arguments raised against cloning has been concern that reproductive cloning would lessen the respect for individuals because of the feeling that they could easily be replaced. 23 Every form of reproductive technology raises some question of human values, dignity, worth and juridical rights, some linked to the notion that the person should not be used as a mere mechanical instrument, and that every human individual is a non-repeatable being.

These differences have important implications both for their current well-being and the extent to which they are equipped or prepared for the future. Our objective is to create aware- ness of the continent’s children, the groups that are prospering and those that are struggling to carve out a place in the world. Knowing that data are a powerful tool to raise awareness and lead to action that benefits children and strengthens families, a cross-national partnership began.
