At the heart of cradle-to-cradle practice is the design of safe and effective materials maintained in productive, cyclical flows. The key principles of cradle-to-cradle were first systematically outlined as the Intelligent Product System (IPS), developed and articulated in 1992 by Michael Braungart and colleagues (1992) (see also www. epea.com). The IPS provides a framework for cradle-to-cradle product conception... 

Parliament has given a number of duties to all those involved in education via the Education Acts and a range of powers to enable them to carry out those duties. Safe practice can be planned within this framework of responsibility and duties, beyond which contextual circumstances and a teacher s personal judgment are crucial. The duties of the individual teacher and how they are accountable for their actions is well presented in the case of Butler v. Cheshire County Council (1996) where the judgment of His Honour Judge Lachs made specific reference to the PE teacher s sense of responsibility. In an earlier paper, Raymond and Thomas (1996) considered various interpretations of this responsibility and identified three legal and statutory, professional and moral. 

Thorough planning and preparation is recognised in the OFSTED framework as being an important prerequisite for good teaching and it is also a basic principle of safe practice. It involves a number of procedures so should take place as early as possible to ensure that all these are completed... 

BSEE s SEMS rule applies to workers in offshore oil and gas operations and incorporates the elements from American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 75. The SEMS rule lays out multiple requirements for safe operations that are consistent with other SMSs reviewed by the committee and are compared in Chapter 5. Since the risk profiles of the offshore oil and gas and offshore wind industries are different, any regulatory framework adapting SEMS for the offshore wind industry would need to be risk-specific and would require less oversight than for the oil and gas industry. 

In this paper we propose to use the Probabilistic Continuous Constraints framework to deal with reliability assessment problems. Given its grounding on continuous constraint solving, this framework computes safe bounds for the reliability of series and parallel systems, contrary to classical approaches. The various kinds of approximations used by these approaches may turn the computed reliability value of little practical use, since they do not provide any bounds to the errors incurred. This is particularly significant in systems modeled by means of nonlinear constraints. 

Current practices in industrial pharmacy can now be put in perspective. Typically, the method of choice is univariate one variable at a time (OVAT). One variable is examined for a few conditions, which, in practice, are selected within a safe subset of the permissible design space. A value of this parameter is selected and kept subsequently constant. Another variable is then examined, a value is chosen, and the process continues sequentially. Intuitively, unless the target function is essentially a plane, if the end result is anywhere near the global optimum, it is only by chance. A historical reason for this dated practice is that the regulatory framework greatly discouraged implementation of the virtuous cycle mentioned above, which... 

As pointed out in Tab. 6.5, the HETP plot is needed for tracers and solutes. With tracers the theoretical HETP plot would be a straight horizontal line (B = 0, feeff = oo) that determines A and, thereby, Dx/umt. To fit within the framework presented here, for every solute only the slope B is determined and kefr is subsequently evaluated. Basically, A can also be derived from these plots, but in practice different axis intercepts A might be observed for solutes and tracers. Because of the limited precision of the second moment and the linearized HETP plot, the accuracy of the derived parameters is limited and the values for A and B (D-c/ujM and keff) should be taken as initial guesses" only (Chapter 2.7, Section 6.5.3.3). Thus, the differences in the observed axis intercepts can be safely ignored and are often negligible. For further discussions of HETP plots see, for example, Van Deemter et al. (1956), Grushka et al. (1975), Weber and Carr (1989) or recent publications on NMR measurements by, for example, Tallarek et al. (1998). 

Since the audit objectives in the structure theory of the entire audit has a guiding role in the security audit security, audit objectives are a priority in the theoretical structure reflect and embody the essence of the security audit requirements, but they also fully reflects the real needs of safe production practices. Therefore, the authors advocate the establishment of objectives for the logical starting point security audit security audit theoretical framework.
