Plot of land

This atypical service contract is most similar to a contract for works and services, as a certain result is owed by the debtor like in a contract for works and services. A typical example for a common contract for works and services is commissioning a master builder to build a house on a plot of land. However, in Chemical Leasing the contract cannot be fulfilled by delivery and acceptance by the factory. The house will be completed sometime. However, chemicals will be permanently needed by the enterprises using them. Therefore the contract has to be de devised as a longterm obligation, and in this respect it is similar to the service contract or the tenancy. Also in case of more comprehensive services on the part of the supplier a service contract or tenancy can serve as a model. [Pg.125]

Because no plot of land is immune to attack by insects,... [Pg.141]

A traditional method of cultivation is being used. First the seeds are selected and are placed in a hothouse and watered regularly to assist germination. The young seedling is then transplanted in a carefully prepared plot of land at the start of the rainy season. [Pg.38]

To protect against pests, organic farmers alternate the crops planted on a particular plot of land. Such crop rotation works fairly well because different crops are damaged by different pests. A pest that thrives on one seasons crop of corn, for example, will do poorly on the next season s crop of alfalfa. For fertilizer, organic farmers rely on compost, shown in Figure 15.29. They also include nitrogen-fixing plants in their crop-rotation schedules. [Pg.542]

A compound and all of its properties are inseparable they are one and the same thing. But a formula is not a compound and while it may serve in a claim to identity what is being patented, as the metes and bounds of a deed identify a plot of land, the thing that is patented is not the formula but the compound identified by it. And the patentability of the thing does not depend on the similarity of its formula to that of another compound but of the similarity of the former compound to the latter. There is no basis in law for ignoring any property in making such a comparison.44... [Pg.226]

France did not produce dyestuffs synthetically but had a large industry based on naturally occurring dyestuffs. Large plots of land in France—thousands of acres— were set aside to grow madder. The resulting dyestuff products in 1868 had such a wide market that nearly 80 million francs of income was gained annually from the... [Pg.176]

Anton is a doctor in his late thirties. He and his wife have only recently bought a tiny cottage and an equally tiny plot of land at the edge of the Nadezhda community and are working diligently to make this dacha their own. Anton s perspective on dacha time echoed Natalia s thoughts when he responded to my question about whether time moves differently at the dacha ... [Pg.62]

The word dacha is also used in other parts of Europe, most notably Berlin, where small urban plots of land with gardens and sheds are known as datcha (Heide Castaneda, personal communication). [Pg.175]

Quoted in Coulson, African Socialism in Practice, p. 65. The relentless emphasis on quantitative achievements was echoed in the newspapers so many people moved to new villages, so many new villages formed, so many acres of crops sown, such and such a percentage of a district rehoused, so many plots of land allocated, etc. See, for example, typical articles in Daily News [Dar es Salaam] 14,133 Move into Villages in Chjunya, February 19, 1974 Two Months After Op-... [Pg.409]

To learn more about limiting reactants, visit the Chemistry Web site at chemistrymc.com Activity Research and explain how nutrients in soil can be depleted when crops are grown on a plot of land year after year. What is the limiting reactant in this case How may the soil be enriched ... [Pg.365]

Field applications of chemicals may be used to study effects on populations, communities, or ecosystems, or to study movement of chemicals through the environment. In terrestrial systems, the chemical is applied to various plots of land and samples are taken at various times. In aquatic systems, such applications may include adding chemicals to natural ponds or streams. In some studies, lakes were separated by... [Pg.928]

In order for consultancies to allow their reports to be utilised by people other than their primary clients, it is not uncommon in the UK for consultants to enter into what is known as a collateral warranty . For example, a developer may wish to purchase a plot of land and utilise a consultant to identify any potential environmental issues. The consultant produces a report and on the basis of the report the developer purchases the land. Having developed the site the developer then wishes to sell the land to a third party, but the third party does not wish to have a survey of the site undertaken for his own benefit, but wishes to rely upon the developer s initial survey. In such circumstances the developer, the third party purchaser and the consultant enter into a collateral warranty, thereby allowing the third party purchaser rights to the consultant s report. It is often the case that the consultant s client will wish the warranty to impose additional liabilities on the consultant beyond those associated with normal levels of professional service. [Pg.155]

Processing plants located on land frequently have the benefit of space, wherein the plant is subdivided into discrete units. Each unit occupies a separate plot of land. Hence the plant is horizontally distributed as opposed to an offshore platform in which the plant is both vertically and horizontally distributed. [Pg.354]

The designs that we have previously discussed are based on the complete randomization principle. However, in many situations, it is impossible to randomize all treatment combinations. In such cases, the split plot design may be used. The name split plot comes from the agricultural experiment in which the whole plots are considered for a large plot of land and the sub-plots are used to represent a small plot of land within the large area. [Pg.240]

This is a set packing formulation and is NP-hard [89]. There are special cases under which the structure of this problem simplifies and allows for polynomial time solutions. Many special cases arise out of constraints that reduce the constraint matrix to be totally unimodular [35]. A common example is the case where adjacent plots of land are being sold and bidders might want multiple plots but they need to be adjacent. However, real world problems will often not satisfy the fairly severe restrictions that provide a totally unimodular constraint matrix. Moreover, if the bidding language is not expressive then this can interact with the incentive properties of an auction because a bidder is not able to express her true valuation, even if that would be her equilibrium strategy. We wait until Section 4 for an extensive discussion of the interaction between computational constraints and incentives. [Pg.169]

The case [54] is described as follows There is a pressing need for a device to assist third-world peasant farmers in cultivating their small plots of land. This need has never been satisfactorily met by any of the plows currently available. This case involves the design of a plow which can fulfill this need. ... [Pg.37]
