Atmospheric emissions from coal-fired generating plants are of concern to various bodies—national (criteria pollutants [CO, particulates,17 03, N02, S02, and Pb], are defined and regulated by the EPA under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards) and international (greenhouse gases, considered under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, are mainly C02, CH4, N20, hydrofluorocarbons,... 

At the international level, regulations concerning dredged material and contaminated sediments are part of the Oslo and Paris (OSPAR), the Helsinki and the London Convention. The OSPAR Commission is of importance in setting guidelines for the disposal of dredged material in the marine environment, which are reflected in national criteria for disposal. It is expected that OSPAR will continue in this role. The feed-back system from contaminated sediments to the reduction of emission needs to be improved.

Favourable population distribution. Some national criteria specify limits for the distribution of population around the site, obtained by assuming a reference radioactive release from the plant and the limitation of doses outside. A minimum distance from population centres is also usually specified, which increases with increasing population in the centre itself (in general, in Europe, it should be necessary to stay a few kilometres apart from centres with some thousands of inhabitants and at least 10 km from centres with tens of thousands of inhabitants). 

The demonstration of compliance with a given set of (national) criteria is still a much debated... 

Mr. Linsley summarised national criteria either proposed or in place for three countries the USA for weapons production sites, Germany for uranium mining and milling contamination and Russia for the Chernobyl accident affected areas. 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Under the Clean Air Act, six criterion pollutants, ie, pollutants of special concern, have been estabhshed by the EPA sulfur oxides (SO ), particulates, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO ), o2one (photochemical oxidants), and lead. National Ambient Air QuaUty Standards (NAAQS) were developed by EPA based on threshold levels of air pollution below which no adverse effects could be experienced on human health or the environment. 

Attainment Area a geographic area in which levels of a criterion air pollutant meet the health-based National Ambient Air Quality Standard for that specific pollutant. 

ASTM D5296-92 requires this R. greater than 1.7 whereas the DIN 55672-1 1995-02 standard requires R to be greater than 2.5. The OECD was uncertain on this point in 1994 and provisionally selected an R of 2.5 but the OECD also recommended this value for further review by the OECD member nations. This resolution criterion in Eq. (1) is a useful one for judging column set quality... 

The criteria used to fix the individual prices of drugs in each country that opts for this type of system are various the therapeutic value of new products, the cost of comparable treatment, the manufacturer s contribution to the national economy and the observed price in other countries. Table 3.2 shows a comparison of the use of these criteria in several OECD countries according to the answers given to a survey carried out in each country. As can be seen from the table, all the countries that responded to the survey acknowledge use of the comparison of authorized prices in other countries as a price-setting criterion.

The growing ethnie nationalism of the Toba Batak, in other words, was emphatically not shared by the Mandailing of this period, who made religion the decisive criterion of identification , as Castles puts it, and unlike the Muslims of Angkola and Sipirok, let Islam rob them of their ancestors (Castles 1972 280). Besides religion, the emotive power of anti-imperial nationalism also played a role in defining Batak identity, less in competition with ethnie nationalism than in a layered merging with it. 

The site-specific water quality criterion for a given metal is obtained by multiplying the national ambient water quality criterion (AWQC) for that metal by the WER which should be significantly different from 1 ... 

Chapter 6 Smoke test. The test is based on the National Bureau of Standards (NBS, now NIST, National Institute of Standards and Technology) smoke density chamber, which has also been standardized as ASTM E 66239 (see also Section 4.1.1). The test exposes a vertical test specimen ca. 75 mm x 75 mm (3 in. x 3 in.) to an incident radiant heat flux of 25kW/m2, from a radiant heat burner for 4 min, in the presence of an open-flame pilot burner. The test applies to the same materials as the heat release rate test. The acceptance criterion is an average maximum specific optical density of smoke that does not exceed 200 (no units). 

A life-cycle costing analysis showed that the savings on electricity would give a 22 per cent after-tax return on the 2.7 million investment. This ROI exceeded the 15 per cent that top management had established as a criterion for capital investments that increased production, and was far above the company s average return on assets of 10 per cent. Nevertheless the company rejected the proposal, indicating that a 30 percent ROI was the policy for projects that do not increase production. This decision, not untypical, was unfortunate for both the proposing firm and the nation. 

As discussed earlier, the first step in orphan product development is the determination that the product is indeed entitled to orphan designation. The government gives one criterion as a prevalence of 200,000 individuals in the United States (not incidence). Extensive research into the disease must be conducted. The object of this chapter is not to discuss research techniques however there are numerous government sources or national foundations that may be enlisted to help research the disease with appropriate demographic data. All such data should be carefully compiled and tabulated for presentation to the government. 

In industrialized nations, a significant portion of the population is overweight. The Body-Mass-Index (BMI) provides a reliable and simple quantitative criterion for assessing this condition it is calculated as follows ... 

This research lays a foundation for future work on national approaches to chemical risk management. Three contrasting national approaches emerge from the analysis of the four countries hazard as the main criterion for risk management in Sweden, technical considerations in France and Germany, and risk-benefit in the UK. A set of sub-criteria was identified as necessity to further define and differentiate possible permutations of each regulatory approach ... 

The Annex XV dossier should provide evidence that the national dimension risk criterion in step 1 applies. Equally, Member States should provide this evidence when reviewing the dossier. 

PanlN-2 and PanlN-3. All PanINs progress from flat to papillary lesions with increasing degrees of dysplasia. The PanIN classification has been established as a common diagnostic criterion at the National Cancer Institute Think Tank (http //pathology.jhu.edu/ pancreas panin). 

In 1998, the reference intake in the United States and Canada was reduced from the previous Recommended Daily Allowance of 2 mg per day for men and 1.6 mg per day for women (National Research Council, 1989) to 1.3 mg per day for both (Institute of Medicine, 1998). The report cites six smdies that demonstrated that this level of intake would maintain a plasma concentration of pyridoxal phosphate at least 20 nmol per L although, as shown in Table 9.5, the more generally accepted criterion of adequacy is 30 nmol per L. 

These values are much lower than those quoted in national standards (BS 3406 Part 2 1984, DIN 66111 1983, AFNOR, ASTM) that vary from 1 pm to 3 pm. The applied criterion is different since the requirement here is that if 10% of the distribution is smaller than the lower size limit, gravitational sedimentation should not be used whereas the Standards simply state a lower size limit. 

The idea of a successful communist revolution can be taken in two distinct senses. First, it may mean the successful establishment of communist relations of production secondly, the successful realization of the goal of the revolutionaries. We assume that this goal is to overtake capitalism with respect to the rate of technical change. We have seen that to ensure success in the second sense, the revolution must occur after T, if the criterion is instantaneous superiority, after T, if it is ultimate superiority. Similarly we may define a time T, in the development of capitalism which is the earliest time when the subjective conditions for a communist revolution are present. In particular, there must obtain the very first prerequisite of a proletarian revolution. .. namely the existence of an industriai proletariat in a national scale". Following the line of argument of the preceding paragraph, we may also define a time...
