Net gain

Tour company has signed a business contract with potential aftertax proceeds of P. The probabihty of achieving the net gain of P is, say. Pi = 0.75, and the probabihty of a net loss of P is po = 0.25. If you would rather keep the contract, how much cash would you accept for your interest in it If you would rather be released from the contract, how much cash would you pay to be released from it ... [Pg.828]

Attenuation Another alternative to intensification is attenuation, using a hazardous material under the least hazardous conditions. Thus large quantities of liquefied chlorine, ammonia, and petroleum gas can be stored as refrigerated liquids at atmospheric pressure instead of storing them under pressure at ambient temperature. (Leaks from the refrigeration eqmpment should also be considered, so there is probably no net gain in refrigerating quantities less than a few hundred tons.) Dyestuffs which form explosive dusts can be handled as slurries. [Pg.2267]

As the rust dries and is permeated by oxygen, magnetite is reoxidised to rust with a net gain of O-SFejOj ... [Pg.344]

By the half-cell potentials, we conclude the Zn-Zn+2 half-reaction has the greater tendency to release electrons. It will tend to transfer an electron to silver ion, forcing (54) in the reverse direction. Hence we obtain the net reaction by subtracting (54) from (52). But remember that this subtraction must be in the proportion that causes no net gain or loss of electrons. If two electrons are lost per atom of zinc oxidized in (52), then we must double half-reaction (54) so that two electrons will be consumed. [Pg.212]

Data compiled by Hanks (1983) show that, contrary to earlier notions, the m coefficient in Equation 1 may be affected by the genotype. A relatively greater net gain of carbon for the same rate of transpiration under stress may be reflected in the m coefficient (Equation 1), in the ratio between assimilation and transpiration (assimilation ratio) or in the agronomic index, WUE (Equation 2). [Pg.204]

Volatilization. Transfer of chemicals across the air/water interface can result in either a net gain or loss of chemical, although in many cases the bulk concentration in the air above a contaminated water body is low enough to be neglected (20). When the atmosphere is the primary source of the contaminant, as for example polychlorinated biphenyls in some parts of the Laurentian Great Lakes, atmospheric concentrations obviously cannot be neglected. The Whitman two-film or two-resistance approach (21) has been applied to a number of environmental situations (20, 22, 23). Transport across the air/water interface is viewed as a two-stage process, in which both phases of the interface can offer resistance to transport of the chemical. The rate of transfer depends on turbulence in the water body and in the atmosphere, the... [Pg.28]

Both processes are switched on by the absorption of short-wavelength radiation X < 240 nm for H20 and X < 230 nm for C02. On the assumption that H atoms escape from the atmosphere, there is a net gain in oxygen to the atmosphere. Reactions of O atoms and 02 chemistry would then lead to the formation of a small ozone layer with a low ozone concentration. [Pg.216]
