Reaching Agreement

To develop a Risk Assessment Tool for Cancer-related Venous Thrombosis in China. Methods A modified two-round Delphi method was employed to establish consensus within a field to reach an agreement via a questionnaire or by interviewing a multidisciplinary panel of experts by collecting their feedback to inform the next round, exchanging their knowledge, experience, and opinions anonymously, and resolving uncertainties.

This article "Reaching an agreement for the elimination of child labour from the supply chains" examines how child labour can be eliminated from various supply chains in Bangladesh. Reinforcing this issue is important to comply with international labour standards on child labour and to avoid potential trade sanctions of various types. Therefore, research is needed to identify a suitable mechanism to address this problem which fits the specific social and business context of Bangladesh.

The system reached equilibrium at around 0.1 µs. The overall 3-dimensional structure was well preserved throughout the simulation. Local residue-based fluctuations were in good agreement with fully atomistic MD simulations. Four distinct snapshots were selected and reverse-mapped to all-atom representations with around 65,000 atoms. Each reverse-mapped system was later subjected to 100 ns of MD simulation for equilibration.

The objectives of this chapter: To describe various methods for achieving mutual exclusion in a distributed system; To explain how atomic transactions can be implemented in a distributed system; To show how some of the concurrency-control schemes discussed in Chapter 6 can be modified for use in a distributed environment; To present schemes for handling deadlock prevention, deadlock avoidance, and deadlock detection in a distributed system.

The objective of this study is to develop a model to describe accurately the vibroacoustic performance of a clamped finite orthotropic laminated double-composite plate filled with air. In this investigation, the theoretical and existing experimental results were compared and reached a good agreement. The influence of several key system parameters (e.g., thickness of faceplate, the thickness of air cavity and the sound incident angles) on sound transmission loss is considered.

The ability of the agricultural residue of sugarcane bagasse to serve as an absorbent material used to remove Ciprofloxacin (CIP), one of strong Fluoroquinolone antibiotic from aqueous solutions in fixed-bed columns was investigated. The properties of biochar sugarcane bagasse were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy before and after modification.

In this work, the equipment was used to investigate the distribution of lithium (7Li) and boron (11B) in the outer oxide at the bow contact area. Depth profiling in the clad oxide at the opposite side of the rod to the point of contact, which is considered to have experienced normal operating conditions and which has a typical oxide thickness, evidenced levels of ∼10–20 ppm 7Li and a 11B content reaching hundreds of ppm in the outer parts of the oxide, largely in agreement with the expected range of Li and B clad oxide concentrations from previous studies.

It is crucial that the teaching of writing skills is carried out in a consistent way across the whole school. In a primary setting, this means that all teachers should have reached agreement on the messages about required structure and content that they will give to learners (for example about the layout of a particular genre of writing) so that learners are not confused when they move into a class taught by someone new. In a secondary setting, as learners move between different departments as part of their learning, this is particularly important.

The workshop was concluded with a “wrap-up” session involving all participants and presenters. Topics of discussion included the problems associated with trying to calculate the cost-benefit analysis of using regular and novel ingredients in aqua or poultry feeds because of the huge variation in the quantity and quality of regional and provincial supplies. An agreement was reached that some assumptions will need to be made but heavily qualified! Some participants saw that the use of local / regional or vernacular names for certain feed ingredients could become confusing.

Previous studies evaluate simulated dialog corpora using evaluation measures which can be automatically extracted from the dialog systems’ logs. However, the validity of these automatic measures has not been fully proven. In this study, we first recruit human judges to assess the quality of three simulated dialog corpora and then use human judgments as the gold standard to validate the conclusions drawn from the automatic measures. We observe that it is hard for the human judges to reach good agreement when asked to rate the quality of the dialogs from given perspectives.

Mediation and negotiation require similar skills and approaches:– a win-win outcome and removal of psychological blocks. Mediation involves two parties who jointly invite a third party to facilitate reaching an agreement. In some cases the mediator might need to understand contract law or to have access to comparative data. However, the principles of mediation require only that the facilitator is able to understand the objectives, beliefs and perceptions of the parties – and then facilitate mutual changes of position until the two parties can agree....

Once an agreement about how to handle the transaction has been reached, it must be executed to completion according to the plan— node failure and related problems cannot cause the transaction to abort. If a node fails, it can recover from a replica that had been executing the same plan in parallel, or alternatively, it can replay the history of planned activity for that node. Both parallel plan execution and replay of plan history require activity plans to be deterministic—otherwise replicas might diverge or history might be repeated incorrectly.

The European Commission has set, in its White paper on the European Transport Policy, an ambitious target of halving road deaths by the end of 2010. Police enforcement of rules covering speeding, drink driving and the use of seat-belts alone can help avoid 14 000 fatalities by 2010 in the EU-15 alone, according to Commission estimates (ICF, 2003). The European target of a 50% cut in annual road deaths by 2010 can only be reached if traffic law is enforced more effectively. That is why the European Commission has adopted a Recommendation on how Member States should improve their...

A major conclusion from the workshop was the importance of reaching agreement on a Staff Monitored Program with the IMF as a critical component of the path towards arrears clearance and debt relief and a grandfathering of Zimbabwe by the IDA Executive Board if it is to benefit from the HIPC Initiative.

To reach niche markets efficiently and cost-effectively, marketers run ads in niche media and/or sponsor events unique to that market. When companies began reaching out to gay men and lesbians in the 1980s, they ran ads in gay print media and sponsored gay/lesbian pride events. 21 Later, “gay marketing” expanded into mainstream media by including gay and/or lesbian spokespersons in ads, b without necessarily targeting the niche markets.
