Measurements were made using two types of passive track-etch alpha dosimeters. One of them was the bare detector of CR-39. After exposure these dosimeters were etched by 30 % NaOH at 70°C for 5 hours. The number of pits was scored under a microscope with a television camera in Shiga University of Medical Science. Methods of calibration and adjustment for deposition of radon daughters introduced by Yonehara (Yonehara et al., 1986) were adopted. The second detectors were Terradex type SF (Alter and Price, 1972). These detectors consist of a plastic cup, covered by a filter to allow entry only of gases, with a track-etch detector inside. The reading of results was carried out by Terradex Corp. in Walnut Creek, California, U.S.A.. The measurements of radon concentration were carried out by both methods in each location, except for Hokkaido where the measurements were done only by Terradex. However, the data obtained by CR-39 detectors will be mainly presented in this paper, because the two methods did not give identical results as separately reported in this proceedings by Yonehara et al. (Yonehara et al., 1986). 

A cost estimate has been prepared for the Ninotsminda UGS facility (see figure 6-3) - based on in-house RAMB0LL data. An adjustment has been introduced to take into account an estimated price difference for work carried out in Europe and Georgia. Particularly, construction and civil engineering works are presumed relatively cheaper in Georgia (a factor of 0.5 to 0.6 has been applied in this case)10. The price level is year 2003. 

NOTE All crests were adjusted using the GNP implicit price deflator. Facilities surveyed were Charles River, Taconlc Farms, and Hazleton. These facilities focus on breeding only. Although Hazelton conducts testing, it is carried out in a separate division. 

Often the difficulty of forecasting demand during a retail promotion means that the retailer may order too much or too little. In addition, if the retail pricing information is not communicated to the manufacturer, then a forecasting rule that adjusts orders based on shipments will result in the manufacturer carrying high inventories between retail promotions. Sharing planned retail promotion information decreases these costs and thus improves supply chain profits. 

The profit landscape changes with time, due to ehanges in the prices of raw materials, products, and utilities, and on-line optimization can be used to periodically adjust the operating conditions to follow the profit maximum (e.g., Biegler et al., 1997). On-line optimization is based on local (rather than global) optimization, due to the computational intensity of global optimization procedures and the need to carry out the on-line optimization quickly. Tliis paper addresses consequences of the local optimization nature of on-line optimization on process performance. 

The quota is adjusted to a 16% sugar level. Any sugar surplus to quota is nonquota beet and is sold (usually at a lower price) on the world market after carrying forward about 70 000 tonnes to the next year s production. This is an insurance against the following year s crop being a poor one for some reason. Nationally the quota should be met, if not, it could mean a lower quota in subsequent years. There is also an industrial beet contract of about 500 000 toimes which is used for biofuel production. 

First, the buyer carries out a pairwise comparison of the four factors as shown in Table 4.4, which shows that the buyer considers supplier quality twice as important as price, four times as important as service, and three times as important as the delivery performance. Price is three times as important as both the service and delivery performances, and service is two times as important as the delivery performance. The buyer then determines the adjusted weights by dividing each column in Table 4.4 by the column total. The adjusted weights of the factors are shown in Fig. 4.8. 

To determine the correct rate to use, consider the corresponding price of the conventional bond when the share price is 63.47 at period fg. The price of the bond is calculated on the basis that on maturity the bond will be redeemed irrespective of what happens to the share price. Therefore, the appropriate interest rate to use when discounting a conventional bond is the credit-adjusted rate, as this is a corporate bond carrying credit risk—it is not default-risk free. However, this does not apply at a different share...
