Future representing

Therefore, finding ways to meet the energy demands while simultaneously addressing the environmental impacts associated with energy use in the future represents a major challenge to humanity. Some of the possible approaches and technological options to meet these challenges are ... 

The solute molecules can enter and leave the particles only by diffusion. The particles are porous, like sponges, and most of the absorbent surface area is given by the surface of the inner pores. In bLC most of the stationary liquid phase is also inside the particles. Ofily porous layer beads which have been used in the past and may find sonie applications in the future represent an exception. The diffusion through the particles takes some time. The average time necessary for a molecule to diffuse across a distance dp is... 

The present book chapter is focused on the use of graphene (G) and related materials in catalysis. This is a relatively new area of research that has started about 2010 and at the moment, and probably also in the future, represents a field relatively minor compared to the use of G in microelectronics and as component of optoelectronic devices. The interest in G in catalysis arises from the consideration that currently most of the heterogeneous catalysts are constituted by transition metals, in some cases even precious metals such as platinum, iridium, rhodium, gold, and others. 

That you would have disclaimed in yourselves and all future Representatives a power of pressing and forcing any sort of men to serve in wars, there being nothing more opposite to freedom, nor more unreasonable in an authority empowered for raising monies in all occasions, for which (and a just cause) assistants need not be doubted -the other way serving rather to maintain injustice and corrupt parties. 

That two hundred of the four hundred members, and not less, shall be taken and esteemed for a competent Representative and the major voices present shall be concluding to this nation. The place of session and choice of a Speaker, with other circumstances of that nature, are referred to the care of this and future Representatives. 

That no member of the present parliament shall be capable of being elected to the next Representative, nor any member of any future Representative shall be capable of being chosen for the Representative immediately succeeding, but are free to be chosen, one Representative having intervened. Nor shall any Representative be made either receiver, treasurer, or other officer during that employment. 

That the next, and all future representatives shall exactly keep the public faith and give full satisfaction for all securities, debts, arrears or damages (justly chargeable) out of the public treasury and shall confirm and make good all just public purchases and contracts that have been or shall be made save that the next Representative may confirm or make null in part or in whole, all gifts of lands, monies, offices, or otherwise made by the present parliament to any member of the House of Commons or to any of the Lords or to any of the attendants of either of them. 

The probability of finding the generator in the forced outage at distant time in the future represents the basic parameter used in static capacity evaluation for modelling of generating unit reliability. This probability is defined as unit Unavailability (U) and in power system applications it is known as the unit Forced Outage Rate (FOR), defined as ... 

Then the values of the leaves are placed on the diagram, starting in the far most future the right hand side. The values represent the NPVs of the cash flows which correspond to the individual leaves. 

Once basic requirements and secondary objectives have been established, the prospective purchaser will find it easier to discuss details with sales representatives. From the latter s viewpoint, it is easier to talk to a potential customer who knows what he needs from a mass spectrometer system rather than to a customer who has only a vague idea of what is required. In fact, an uninformed customer can end up purchasing an expensive instrument that is far too good for the analyses required or, at the other extreme, a cheap instrument that is inadequate for immediate needs, let alone ones that might arise in the near future. 

Interpreta.tlon, Whereas statistical tests estabhsh whether results are or are not different from (over) an exposure criteria, the generaUty of this outcome must be judged. What did the samples represent May the outcome, which is inferred to cover both sampled and unsampled periods, be legitimately extrapolated into the future In other words, is the usual assumption of a stationary mean vaUd AH of these questions are answered by judgment and experience appHed to the observations made at the time of sampling, and the answers are used to interpret the quantitative results. 

The examples given above represent only a few of the many demonstrated photochemical appHcations of lasers. To summarize the situation regarding laser photochemistry as of the early 1990s, it is an extremely versatile tool for research and diagnosis, providing information about reaction kinetics and the dynamics of chemical reactions. It remains difficult, however, to identify specific processes of practical economic importance in which lasers have been appHed in chemical processing. The widespread use of laser technology for chemical synthesis and the selective control of chemical reactions remains to be realized in the future. 

The avaHabihty of photoconductive polymers opens up many areas for research, in addition to electrophotography. These are relatively unexplored areas and represent promising future directions. 

The use of nuclear power has been a topic of debate for many years. Nuclear fuel represents a resource for generating energy weU into the future, whereas economically recoverable fossil fuel reserves may become depleted. Worker exposure, injuries, and fataHties in nuclear fuel mining are reportedly far less compared to those associated with recovery and handling of fossil fuels. Potential hazards associated with transporting and storing radioactive wastes do exist, however. 

The relevance of photonics technology is best measured by its omnipresence. Semiconductor lasers, for example, are found in compact disk players, CD-ROM drives, and bar code scaimers, as well as in data communication systems such as telephone systems. Compound semiconductor-based LEDs utilized in multicolor displays, automobile indicators, and most recendy in traffic lights represent an even bigger market, with approximately 1 biUion in aimual sales. The trend to faster and smaller systems with lower power requirements and lower loss has led toward the development of optical communication and computing systems and thus rapid technological advancement in photonics systems is expected for the future. In this section, compound semiconductor photonics technology is reviewed with a focus on three primary photonic devices LEDs, laser diodes, and detectors. Overviews of other important compound semiconductor-based photonic devices can be found in References 75—78. 

Equation (9-41) represents the future sum of a series of uniform annual payments that are invested at a stated interest rate over a period of years. This procedure defines an ordinaiy annuity. Other Forms of annuities include the annuity due, in which payments are made at the beginning of the year instead of at the end and the deferred annuity, in which the first payment is deferred for a definite number of years. 

Concept 1. Money measurement means that only those facts that can be represented in monetary terms are recorded. The balance sheet and income statement for a company give no indication as to what might happen in the future. The company may be about to be successfully sued for a large sum of money, or a competitor may be launching a new product that will seriously reduce future sales of the company s products.
