When revealing many such cause-effect relations and hidden phenomena, hand-held instrumentation gives additional references for existing basic measurements such as pH, conductivity, and redox potential. This work also took in use measurements which have not been traditionally used in papermaking such as measurement of halogens, dissolved calcium, and dissolved oxygen contents. ATP content measurement using a portable luminometer was found to be useful and easy-to-use method for evaluating microbial activity and optimizing biocide performance at paper mills.

The industry is still improving technologically. It is far more mature than in 1993, and new developments appear poised to bring costs down further and to reduce the environmental impact of producing ethanol. In this report, we examine various production technologies, beginning with input improve- ments and then discussing process improvements, environmental technolo- gies, and technologies involving coproducts. Finally, we look at niche markets and briefly examine cellulosic conversion.

Statistical analysis has also meant that no generalisation regarding the kind of student least likely to improve (or likely to regress) can be reliably made. Nevertheless, it is interesting to consider the characteristics of each of the individuals who did regress in their IELTS Test results. Table 12 gives data relating to the six students whose IELTS Test results in Test 2 were lower than in Test 1. Five of the six students who regressed were studying Nursing and four were of East or South Asian language background. Four were in the older age group and four had an...

While there is little evidence of significant recent changes in agrarian structure in land scarce countries (Lipton 2009), many land-abundant countries are characterized by rising investment in large-scale farming based on a nonfamily corporate model, a trend that can but need not be accompanied by growing concentration of land ownership (Deininger et al. 2011, UNCTAD 2009). Table 1 provides characteristics of a sample of very large farming operations in land abundant countries or regions within countries.

Through IDEI and the Jean-Jacques Laffont Foundation, economists from TSE have developed strong relationships with economic actors (regulators, public and private corporations and various other institutions). Since 1990, IDEI has built partnerships with companies in various sectors. This cooperation has initiated and inspired a great deal of original research. The creation of the Jean-Jacques Laffont Foundation has enhanced and extended partnerships that will guarantee additional financial support for continued research.

As noted earlier, a territorial cohesion policy for rural areas which enables each region to develop its potential needs to take account of two kinds of regional conditions (both assets and challenges), those which are broadly associated with the interaction of the meta narratives of change and the type of region (and are therefor to some extent systematic in their distribution), and those which are more localised and unique. Only the first of these is discussed here, the second requires some form of regional audit of development assets.

Dewey’s discussion is of interest in part because it reflects a number of common and reasonable intuitions about the boundaries of the aesthetic. I will isolate the particular criteria that emerge from Dewey’s account and identify the most plausible rationale for regarding each as a necessary condition for aesthetic experience. I will then argue that the criteria, as they ought to be understood, do not rule out everyday experiences like those I have described; and, indeed, that there are strong reasons to include such experiences within the realm of the aesthetic....

To obtain the content summary of a database, a metasearcher could rely on the database to supply the summary (e.g., by following a protocol like STARTS [12], or possibly using Semantic Web [1] tags in the future). Unfortunately many web-accessible text databases are completely autonomous and do not report any detailed metadata about their contents to facilitate metasearch- ing. To handle such databases, a metasearcher could rely on manually generated descriptions of the database con- tents.

Exposed to wear and tear, film prints can get scratched during the course of the theatrical run. After each showing, the movie looks slightly worse than it did on opening night. With digital cinema, the movie looks just as good at the end of the theatrical run as it did at the beginning. Flexibility. Digital projectors can display not just films, but also a variety of alternate content including pre-show announcements and closed-circuit live HD entertainment such as concerts, sports and gaming. Versatility. Digital projection systems can support both 2D and 3D presentation.

This health system assessment for Uganda was carried out during the first year of implementation of the HSSIP. Its findings, therefore, serve as a benchmark of the health system. By doing a similar assessment towards the end of HSSIP implementation, we will be able to gauge the progress made in the health system over the period covered by the plan.

This prediction is, of course, dependent on the assumption that sales follow a random walk. For example, if sales followed a simple autoregressive process, with the variable expense assumption earnings would follow a similar process. The preceding analysis shows that a very simple model of the firm that assumes sales follow a random walk and allows only for accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventory accruals can generate the basic time series properties observed for operating cash flows, earnings, and accruals.

The sample of banks includes FDIC-insured commercial banks with total assets greater than $300 million as of March 1996. Of these institutions, banks that have no commercial and industrial loans are excluded. The sample ranges from 942 banks in March of 1996 to 467 banks in December of 2004. Institutions that are liquidated during the sample period are included in the sample before liquidation and excluded from the sample for the periods after liquidation. Banks that merge during the sample period are included in the sample.

Mr Maes, as keynote speaker from the European Commission, provided an overview of the Europe 2020 strategy, which responds to the challenges that Europe is facing in the next decade. Within Europe 2020, microcredit is adopted as a tool to address social exclusion. Micro-entrepreneurship is a relevant source of employment in the EU, given that each new micro-enterprise creates two to three new jobs. Entrepreneurship is another path to promote employment.

The strong growth of credit in both cases, however, does not mean that domestic credit was the only source for finance of enterprises. In both cases, retained savings by the enterprises played an important role (in China today, these retained savings are an important factor to explain the high national saving rate). However, it can well be argued that the strong credit creation is a necessary condition for profit growth in an economy: Only if credit creation helps to maintain a high level of aggregate demand, firms will be able to make sufficient profits in the aggregate.

With an indexed bond, the interest and maturity value are adjusted by the rate of inflation over the life of the bond. Because the cash flow of an indexed bond is adjusted for inflation, the bond’s real value does not vary with inflation, protecting investors and issuers alike from inflation risk. Inflation indexed bonds would be a fundamental innovation in U.S. financial markets, providing benefits to investors, the Treasury, and policymakers. Despite the potential benefits, the U.S. Treasury has never issued indexed bonds.

In the past, the government often tried to ensure that we pay "a fair rate" of interest by implementing usury ceilings or limits on the rates that lenders can charge. During the 1980s there was a general trend toward eliminating or raising these limits as policy-makers reacted to the high inflation and record interest rates of the late 1970s. During the early 1990s, however, the trend reversed as some suggested that caps should be placed on credit card rates, which remained at historically high levels while other key interest rates declined significantly.
