Centre Of Main Interest

This book provides a distilled and accessible analysis of the European cross-border insolvency law. With reference to the amended Insolvency Regulation (EIR) and related sources it examines the issues involved in intra-member state cross-border insolvency. The book analyses in depth the main areas of change brought about by the EIR such as the restatement of the meaning of 'centre of main interest' (COMI) and the rules on international jurisdiction, the new specific measures for multi-national enterprises, and the move towards co-operation between insolvency practitioners and courts. The EIR represents a very significant development in European insolvency law which will have an impact on all insolvencies with an international element involving a European state. All practitioners advising on the area need a clear grasp of the implications of the changes and this book aims to deliver just that.

The cyclization in a basic medium of 2 (or 4)-chloroalkyl-4 (or 2) -hydroxyalkyl-1,3-dioxolanes leads to bicyclic acetals, the 3,6,8-trioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes, which are useful intermediates for synthesis, yielding notably functionalized 1,4-dioxanes. The nmr spectra of these heterobicyclics were studied. The geminal proton coupling constants permit oneto distinguish between five- and six-membered rings and the determination of couplings over several bonds (4J and 5J) yields information concerning the conformation of the model bicyclics.Two isomeric series of alkylated bicyclic acetals (3,7,9- and 4,7,9-trioxabicyclo[4.2.1]nonanes) are accessible by the following routes: (a) the intramolecular addition of a 4-hydroxy-alkyl group to the ethylenic double bond on the carbon atom a to C-2 in the 1,3-dioxolanes; (b) the dechlorohydration of 2-chloromethyl-4-hydroxyalkyl-1,3-dioxolanes; (c) the dehydration of dioxolane-diols. The main interest in these heterobicyclics is to prepare a seven-membered ring and to be able to prepare functionalized 1,4-dioxepanes. [Journal translation]

The Impact

ABSTRACTUsing newly available evidence, mainly from the Public Records Office (now the National Archive) in London, this article attempts to unravel the true extent of the role that British oil interests played in the decision of the British government to insist on a ‘One Nigeria’ solution in the Nigeria/Biafra conflict. While the official position of the British government was that its main interest in the Nigeria conflict was to prevent the break-up of the country along tribal lines, the true position was more complex. Evidence in this paper suggests that British oil interests played a much more important role in the determination of the British attitude to the war than is usually conceded. Specifically, Britain was interested in protecting the investments of Shell-BP in Nigerian oil. Furthermore, Britain was also at the time desperate to keep Nigerian oil flowing in order to mitigate the impact of its domestic oil shortfalls caused by the Middle East Six Day War. Supporting a ‘One Nigeria’ solution was considered its safest bet in order to achieve the above objectives.

Aerobic And Anaerobic Conditions

ABSTRACTLaboratory experiments were performed to study the interaction between groundwater and compacted sodium bentonite (Volclay MX-80). The solutions used were the fresh and saline groundwater simulants. The experiments were carried out in aerobic and anaerobic conditions at elevated temperature. Of main interest in the present study were the chemical changes in the reacting solution, bentonite porewater. and bentonite itself. The results for major cations display a principal difference between the interactions with fresh and saline solutions, while the differences between aerobic and anaerobic conditions within each solution case seem to be minor. The experimental results for the bentonite-water equilibria were interpreted in terms of a multi-site surface complexation model and the computer program HYDRAQL. The apparent diffusivities for sodium and sulphate in bentonite samples sandwiched between two filterplates were also determined.

This note points out an error made in an earlier paper treating a diffusion equation for the probability distribution of gene frequencies under selection. The main interest lies in the orthogonality properties of certain eigenfunctions and the determination of the corresponding Fourier coefficients. Two particular cases of selection parameter values are considered. Approximate formulas are given for the two smallest eigenvalues for arbitrary values of the selection parameters.

Plasma Creatinine Concentration

Abstract A patient who ingested a methanol/nitromethane mixture (model airplane fuel) showed an apparent plasma creatinine concentration of 8.0 mmol/L by the Jaffé reaction when the actual creatinine concentration, as measured by a specific enzymatic method, was 0.09 mmol/L. This effect was due to nitromethane in the plasma. Interference by nitromethane with the determination of creatinine by reaction with alkaline picrate (the Jaffé reaction) has not previously been reported. When nitromethane was added to plasma, the apparent creatinine measured was linearly related to the amount of nitromethane added. Comparison of spectral changes occurring during creatinine/picrate and nitromethane/picrate reactions show substantial similarity, suggesting a similar structure for the products. Although the findings are of interest for both their toxicological and analytical implications, the main interest lies with their suggestion of a model system for future investigation of the Jaffé reaction.

Centre Of Main Interest

The centre of main interests is the key concept of Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings. Its significance lies in the fact that this concept constitutes the sole determinant for establishing international jurisdiction for the opening of the main insolvency proceedings. The paper deals with the analysis of the concept of COMI, including the presentation of the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
