Chatteijee et al. [ 18] pose DDM-OS in a decentralized marketing-operations framework where the marketing department quotes the due dates without having full information about the shop floor status. Upon the arrival of a new order, marketing learns the processing time p and selects a lead time /(p), and the customer places an order with probability (model (D3)). Let... 

Some researchers have studied the problem of matching multiple buyers with multiple suppliers from a resource allocation perspective. Ledyard et. al. [50] test allocation mechanisms in decentralized markets with uncertain resources and indivisible demand. The results indicate that high efficiency could be obtained if coordination is enabled among buyers. A similar problem... 

The market for sealed stationary batteries has greatly increased since 1980, both by the growth of the PC market as well as by the decentralization of emergency power supplies and telephone ex-... 

Under the centralized procedure, applications are accepted with regard to (a) products of biotechnology (b) NCEs (drugs in which the active ingredient is new). Biotech products are grouped as list A and NCEs as list B . Marketing approval application for biotech products must be considered under the centralized procedure, whereas NCEs can be considered under centralized or decentralized mechanisms. 

There are two European proeedures for obtaining a marketing authorization in more than one EU member eoimtry, the centralized proeedure and the decentralized or mutual reeognition proeedure. 

One characteristic of the civil justice system is that it is decentralized Different courts can and do come to different conclusions. In 2002, in the case of Cincinnati v. Beretta the Ohio State Supreme Court ruled that plaintiffs had adequately demonstrated that the availability of guns to criminals caused by negligent marketing represented a substantial danger to the community—a major public nuisance. 

Among purely industrial fermentations, milk and its products, for historic and economic reasons, have received only limited attention. Decentralization of casein and cheese manufacture in the early days weakened the competitive position of the low-solids by-product, whey, relative to that of grains and molasses. With changing economic and market trends, by-products of milk which are suited for many industrial fermentations may become more competitive. In times of unusual demand, such as wars produce, these by-products are of considerable industrial interest. 

The progress in natural gas liquefaction technologies may offer competitive solutions for decentralized liquid gas production that may contribute to secure the energy supply [7]. Gas-to-liquid technologies used to convert natural gas to liquid fuels are under consideration as a competitive option to export gas from remote areas to the international market. 

A market-oriented organization was created, as decentralized as possible, as centralized as necessary . The strategic rationale was driven by the diversity of market segments and fast-changing market conditions, an environment in which innovation and market intelligence were crucial. The new structure separated the lean corporate center, operating businesses, and services to maximize autonomy and entrepreneurship. 

The long discussed, and expected, transition from a central power model to a hybrid central-DE model appears not yet to have started. According to World Alliance for Decentralized Energy latest annual DE market assessment, the World Survey of Decentralized Energy—2004, published recently, the overall share of DE in global power generation remained steady... 

Thirdly, further complications are introduced due to the decentralization of allocation (Ahman et al., 2005). Under the current system, where some discretion over NAPs is retained by each MS, we expect that allocation rules will reflect national interests. For example, where the actions of a single MS is expected to have a small impact on the European C02 price, national policies may be pursued with the objective of reducing impacts on domestic electricity prices. Pursuing the national objective can, however, have an adverse impact on C02 emissions. If many countries set out to minimize electricity prices, increased demand for allowances pushes up prices in the EU ETS, increasing the overall costs of abatement for Europe. High C02 prices, moreover, are likely to trigger some emission reductions among other market participants and increase the use of international mechanisms (e.g. CDMs and JI). 

In addition on-line measurements are now possible for the first time. The technological route for realization of microanalytical sensors systems will now be evaluated and for market driven decentralized applications a distinct solution can still be expected in the near future. 

Centralized (and to a lesser extent decentralized) authorization procedures administration of these procedures to achieve a single evaluation and marketing authorization for medicinal products... 

Four routes are available for obtaining a marketing authorization (MA) for a human medicinal product in the European Economic Area independent national procedure, mutual recognition procedure (MRP), decentralized procedure (DCP), and centralized procedure (CP) [5-7],... 

The decentralized procedure, applying to a majority of conventional medicinal products, is based on the principle of mutual recognition of national authorizations. It provides for the extension of a marketing authorization granted by one member state to one or more other member states identified by the applicant. 

The disproportionality theory and the overproduction theory are both linked to the separation of sale and purchase in capitalism. This, Marx says in Capital /, implies "the possibility, and no more than the possibility, of crises". Let me first focus on the disproportionality crises that stem from this separation. In a decentralized economy there is no guarantee that producers will find a market for their products, nor that goods in demand will be produced in sufficient quantity. There may be imbalance between the capital and the consumption sectors, that is violation of the...
