The income gap is the ratio between the average welfare level of the poor and the poverty line. If, as is common in the poverty and safety net literature, the welfare level is measured as per capita consumption, then an income gap of 25 percent means that the average per capita consumption of the poor is 25 percent below the poverty line. 

The main issue concerning the benefit level is to determine the adequacy of the transfer in helping program beneficiaries fulfill their basic needs. Several benchmarks can be used to measure the adequacy of benefits depending on the type of transfer and its objectives. The amount of cash or the value of an in-kind transfer could be compared with the income gap between the beneficiary s income level and the poverty line. Similarly, a feeding intervention may assess the nutritional supplement it provides against the nutritional deficit... 

Poverty gap. The mean difference between the poverty line and household income divided by the poverty line (the nonpoor have a gap of zero) calculated over the whole population. The income gap multiplied by the headcount equals the poverty gap. 

The operating variables for a dmm or roHer dryer iaclude coadeasatioa of incoming product ia an evaporator, temperature of incoming product, steam pressure (temperature) ia dmm, speed of dmm, and height of product over dmm. The capacity of the dryer is iacreased by increa sing the steam pressure, the temperature of the milk feed, the height of milk over the dmms, the gap between dmms (double), and the speed of rotation of the dmms. Increasing the capacity is limited by the effect on the product quaHty. 

The incoming light reflects from the end surface of a fibre, which is caused by the difference in refractive indexes of a fibre, a light source and a gap between them. Such losses are usually small as compared with other losses occurring in the system. The losses caused by different numerical apertures cannot be avoided. As higher NA of the fibre, as lower losses of... 

For Nell, this approach closely resembles the first of Marx s solutions in Capital, volume 2, to the problem of establishing where the money comes from to service the gap between the amount advanced by capitalists and the amount M they receive as income.2 As we saw in Chapter 3, Marx addresses this issue by positing that capitalists advance the amount M -M in addition to M. Under the Kalecki Principle, M —M is the amount of money cast into circulation by capitalists in order to realize profits. Ignoring for simplicity the role of capitalist consumption, this amount is required to purchase additional quantities of capital. Hence, capitalists advance the whole of M. On this view, theoretically, it is correct to speak of M becoming M, but in practice there is no initial sum of money, M, followed later by a larger sum, M there is only M (ibid. 207). In the single swap approach this advance of money is sufficient to fund total income in one run of the monetary circuit. 

Communicable diseases continue to kill around 14 million people each year, mostly in the developing world. Infectious and parasitic diseases account for a quarter of the disease burden in low- and middle-income countries, compared to only 3 per cent in high-income countries (WHO 1999). According to the World Bank, eliminating communicable diseases would almost completely level the mortality gap between the richest 20 per cent of the world population and the poorest 20 per cent (Gwatkin and Guillot 2000). 

The baseline reactor conditions in the following reactor analysis are susceptor temperature Ts = 1273 K, inlet temperature Tm = 333 K, reactor pressure p = 400 mTorr, gas velocity through the inlet manifold Vin = 100 cm/s, and the gap between inlet and susceptor L = 1 cm. Incoming gas-mixture mole fractions (e.g., from a gas-cylinder) are TEOS 0.25 and N2 (carrier gas) 0.75. You may use the files teos. gas and teos. surf for the gas-phase and surface reaction mechanisms. (Hint You may need the following initial guesses at the surface species site fractions SiG3(OH) 0.98, SiGsE 0.02, SiG(OH)2E 0.001. More details on the surface reaction mechanism and nomenclature are found in Ref. [69].)... 

Transferring risk may sound easy. All you need is to find the right policy, for the right need, at the right cost. Write a check once a year and hope nothing happens. Of course, it is more complicated than this. When you retire, you must find policies that cover new risks or close gaps in existing ones. Policies can be deceptive. You may think you are fully covered when you re not. There are sometimes exclusions that limit your policy. Also, you must consider cost. It s impossible to live with style if you spend all your discretionary income on insurance premiums.
