Collaborate in joint partnerships with others involved in managing catchments, thus pooling funding and expertise and using local knowledge.

The community raised the funds for an ozonator for the pool. It aerates the pool and they don t have to use so much chlorine. I m really happy about that, because I m not getting as much chlorine into my system. The whole community wanted it. They re more educated because of people like my mom. After they get educated they realize what has to be done. 

Key to the Bauer model is an assumption that constant capital increases at a higher rate than variable capital - the former increases at 10 per cent per annum and the latter at 5 per cent (ibid. 67). The result is a continual increase in the organic composition of capital, the ratio of constant to variable capital. The rate of surplus value, the ratio of total surplus value to variable capital, is assumed to remain constant at all times. With variable capital increasing at 5 per cent each year, the same increase in the pool of total surplus value takes place, out of which additional increments of constant and variable capital are funded. Capitalist consumption is treated... 

Year 2 shows a new input of 220,000 units of constant capital incorporating the additional 20,000 units produced in the previous period and a new 105,000 units of variable capital incorporating the additional 5,000 units of variable capital. With the rate of surplus value remaining the same, a new pool of 105,000 units of surplus value is produced, and disposed of with further increases in constant capital (by 22,000) and variable capital (by 5,250). The residual volume of capitalist consumption, after funding the capital expansion, is 77,750. Note that although there is an increase in capitalist consumption, the proportion of profits consumed by capitalists falls to 74.05 per cent compared to 75.00 per cent in year 1. 

Under COST 68 bis, five Working Parties were established to co-ordinate the various areas of research. As a Concerted Action , no direct funding was available from the European Commission to finance research projects on sewage sludge, each country being expected to contribute its own publicly-funded projects to the common pool . 

One Cohort III interviewee at an historically black college believes that industry s review process is more objective I would say that industry more so than.(federal agency) administers funds on an equitable basis without regard to race because of the bottom line. We got money mostly from industry because it was just opening up to hire blacks... But there was a limited talent pool. One Cohort III interviewed made this plea 10,000 grant would help me a lot in my research but I can t get that from (federal agency). ... 

A mutual fund is an investment company that pools the money of many investors and invests it on their behalf. Based on a fund s stated objective, the money is invested in stocks, bonds, money market securities, or a combination of these. At the end of 2004, there were about 8,000 mutual funds with 267 million accounts worth in excess of 8.1 trillion. All investments have an element of risk. Mutual funds are no different. And, with so many choices, great care should be exercised to find a fund that is right for you. 

Should federal funds—not just NSF-derived, not just NIH (National Institutes of Healthj-derived funds, but all federal funds—be withheld from those universities that do not increase their faculty hires to reflect the diversity of today s pool of U.S.-granted chemistry Ph.D.s 7 As seen in Figure 6.1, women composed one-third of that pool in 1999 and have been present at more than 20 percent since 1985. Despite that year-in, year-out production of talent, NSF reported in 1998 that only 12.5 percent of the senior faculty (associate and full professors) in the natural sciences and engineering at U.S. universities and 4-year colleges were women.8...

Corporate centers are better positioned than business units to initiate and drive selected cross-business themes or initiatives such as procurement, e-commerce or innovation/venturing. They can pool the necessary skills and build competence in areas where BUs do not have critical mass (e.g., business development in China, leveraging biotechnology in chemicals, e-commerce). They can also provide incubators for growth options or build up corporate venture funds, dedicating intellectual and financial resources to selected projects that can help individual businesses secure their long term growth. 

Many early CVC programs were too short. Our findings show that the present value of the cumulative returns only turns positive, on average, in the seventh year. Provide a complementary role to venture capital firms, co-investing with them or investing in pooled/dedicated funds.

In United kingdom, the Nuffield Foundation provided funds for the Science Teacher Education Project (STEP). STEP pooled the ideas of over fifty science tutors in training institutions and developed and tested materials. 

Profile Founded in late 1996, SIDDCO is a privately held company that is based on a mission to integrate and apply state-of-the-art approaches to drug discovery. SIDDCO is a combinatorial chemistry consortium that pools the resources of the consortium partners to fund a critical mass of chemists to develop the combinatorial chemistry technology database and methodologies. SIDDCO provides a dedicated team of medicinal chemists to each partner to exploit the shared technology and satisfy the drug discovery and drug optimization needs of specific projects.
