High Level

Surface water, including rivers, lakes or ponds, in peatland areas has specific characteristics. Generally, this type of water has high level of acidity, organic matter, and high concentration in several metalic ions, like manganese and iron. The content of organic matter is usually indicated by dark brown color of water. In term of quality, this water is not suitable to be used directly for covering daily needs, such as drinking, cooking, and bathing by the local people. IPAG60 was proven as a small scale plant which has a good ability for treating different types of peat water to produce clean water as per the standards. This plant gives alternative technology to support clean water services in peatland areas.

Positive Effect

Labour mobility is often considered a crucial factor for regional development. However, labour mobility is not good per se for local firms. There is increasing evidence that labour recruited from skill-related industries has a positive effect on plant performance, in contrast to intra-industry labour recruits. However, little is known about which types of labour are recruited in different stages of the evolution of an industry, and whether that matters for plant performance. This paper attempts to fill these gaps in the literature using linked employee–employer data at the plant level for manufacturing and services industries in the Netherlands for the period 2001–2009. Our study focuses on the effects of different types of labour recruits on the survival of new plants. We show that the effects of labour recruits from the same industry and from skill-related and unrelated industries on plant survival vary between different stages of the evolution of an industry. We also find that inter-regional labour flows do not affect new plant survival. JEL classification: R11, R12, O18

Comprehensive and self-consistent data relating to plant availability and outage rates are essential for the assessment of plant performance, thereby enabling standby requirements to be estimated, plant extensions planned and the performance of different types of plant compared. The present paper deals with the essential requirements that must be met to ensure the comparability and adequacy of the statistical data. Five main points are emphasized in the paper: the assessment of plant performance is best given by outage rates, stated in terms of time; three classes of outage are described; namely forced, deferable and planned. Shortfall is considered separately; since the practical consequences of the three kinds of outage will in general be very different, and since one may affect another the record must always include the three outage rates shown as separate items; to permit the assessment and comparison of statistics from different sources the record should also include an output factor—(total output of item during period/rated capacity x total hours in period), a service factor—(total hours of item in service during period/total hours in period) and the number of starts during the period under review; statistics from plants of very dissimilar properties and design and with widely different operating regimes should be compared cautiously.

Managerial activities like planning have been advocated as a help in managing the organizations environment. If effective, such activities are assumed to improve the performance of an organization. This paper reports the findings of research involving twenty-six plants of a large electronic high tech firm. The results suggest that different types of management activities have mixed but significant impact upon three measures of plant performance. Externally oriented activities, including planning appear to most significantly impact subjective valuations of the supportiveness of a plants internal operating climate. Several implications of these findings are explored.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

Abstract We argue that Tomasello's account overlooks important psychological distinctions between how humans judge different types of moral obligations, such as prescriptive obligations (i.e., what one should do) and proscriptive obligations (i.e., what one should not do). Specifically, evaluating these different types of obligations rests on different psychological inputs and has distinct downstream consequences for judgments of moral character.

Complete Interpretation

Previous freeze fracture results on the intact giant, amoeba Chaos carolinensis indicated the presence of a fibrillar arrangement of filaments within the cytoplasm. A complete interpretation of the three dimensional ultrastructure of these structures, and their possible role in amoeboid movement was not possible, since comparable results could not be obtained with conventional fixation of intact amoebae. Progress in interpreting the freeze fracture images of amoebae required a more thorough understanding of the different types of filaments present in amoebae, and of the ways in which they could be organized while remaining functional.The recent development of a calcium sensitive, demembranated, amoeboid model of Chaos carolinensis has made it possible to achieve a better understanding of such functional arrangements of amoeboid filaments. In these models the motility of demembranated cytoplasm can be controlled in vitro, and the chemical conditions necessary for contractility, and cytoplasmic streaming can be investigated. It is clear from these studies that “fibrils” exist in amoeboid models, and that they are capable of contracting along their length under conditions similar to those which cause contraction in vertebrate muscles.

Different Cell Types

Various types of intermediate-sized (10-nm) filaments have been found and described in many different cell types during the past few years. Despite the differences in the chemical composition among the different types of filaments, they all yield common structural features: they are usually up to several microns long and have a diameter of 7 to 10 nm; there is evidence that they are made of several 2 to 3.5 nm wide protofilaments which are helically wound around each other; the secondary structure of the polypeptides constituting the filaments is rich in ∞-helix. However a detailed description of their structural organization is lacking to date.

In polyethylene single crystals pairs of black and white lines spaced 700-3,000Å apart, parallel to the [100] and [010] directions, have been identified as microsector boundaries. A microsector is formed when the plane of chain folding changes over a small distance within a polymer crystal. In order for the different types of folds to accommodate at the boundary between the 2 fold domains, a staggering along the chain direction and a rotation of the chains in the plane of the boundary occurs. The black-white contrast from a microsector boundary can be explained in terms of these chain rotations. We demonstrate that microsectors can terminate within the crystal and interpret the observed terminal strain contrast in terms of a screw dislocation dipole model.
