Private applicators

A private applicator is a person who uses or supervises the use of any restricted-use pesticide for purposes of producing any agricultural commodity on land owned or rented by him or his employer, or on another person s property if the work is done without compensation. Some examples are farmers, ranchers, floriculturists, and orchardists. 

A commercial applicator is a person who uses or supervises the use of restricted pesticides for purposes other than those of a private applicator. Some examples are governmental workers, licensed pest control personnel, agricultural pilots, power company employers, and highway department workers. 

Civil penalties are as much as 5,000 for registrants, commercial applicators, or dealers who violate the act and a 1,000 fine for private applicators who do so. Criminal penalties are as much as a 25,000 fine and 1 year in prison for registrants, commercial applicators, or dealers who violate the act and a 1,000 fine and 30 days in prison for private applicators doing so.

To support them, therefore, immense activities are prompted both in pubh c private sectors with increasing importance on NDT. The particular application of radiography using Ir-192 isotopes for industrial production, construction maintenance of industries, power plants, oil and gas pipelines plants, railway, aviation systems, naval structures and vessels, etc is currently in the fore front for its reliabih ly, ease of application record keeping advantages. 

This southern Colorado town uses about 32.5 ha (80 ac) of grass on a private ranch for application of biosolids slurry from its oxidation ditch. Application is approximately 56 dry Mg/yr (62 dry tons/yr) through a sprinkler gun. Other dry land parcels on ranches have also been used. 

In the DOE environment, the term lesson learned is defined as a good work practice or innovative approach that is captured and shared to promote application. It may also be an adverse work practice or experience that is captured and shared to avoid recurrence. This term is used by DOE and other federal and private-sector institutions, to describe the following ... 

An interview must be conducted privately in a relaxed atmosphere. It takes skin to conduct a good interview. A typical applicant may be quite nervous. In a larger organization it is often performed by the personnel department in the presence of the potential supervisor. At the end of the interview, the applicant should have a chance to ask questions about the job and the employer. 

The second type is the WAN (wide area network) installation. In this setup the LIMS take advantage of telecommunication technology to cover a great distance. The setup can also be used to connect disparate LANs together. In this configuration, the LIMS are installed on both the clients and a central server. The third type is the so-called centrally hosted thin client installation . For this setup, system administration is managed at a corporate center, where the LIMS are hosted and distributed via a WAN or the Internet with a virtual private network (VPN). The last and also the newest type is the ASP (Application Service Provision provider)-hosted installation. In this setup, the LIMS are hosted on a centrally managed server form and maintained by third-party specialists. Users access the LIMS with any Internet-connected PC with a standard Web browser. 

Appropriate standards and guidelines should be developed and used as tools for the application of all regulatoiy processes. They should be freely available to all stakeholders, including the public, in order to increase the transparency of the DRA s operations. The same standard of regulation should be applied to all dmgs, whether they are imported and/or manufactured by the public or the private sector, and destined for domestic consumption or for export. 

The Promochem Group was the first international specialist supplier of certified reference materials (CRMs) and pharmaceutical reference substances used in environmental, medical and trace element analysis. Their experience provides a viewpoint that echoes, reinforces and expands on many of the trends discussed above (Jenks 1997). From the middle of the 1980 s, sales of CRM by Promochem increased between 10 % and 20 % annually, depending on the market sector and application. Since then National and International Metrology Institutes, such as the now privatized U.K. Laboratory of the Government Chemist (LGC), the European and U.S. Pharmacopoeias, the E.U. IRMM and others have recognized that efficient distribution of RMs, backed by available technical support, is as important as production and certification. Thus, they have moved to spread their influence outside their national origins. The Web and e-commerce will continue to grow as major facilitators of better information dissemination and supply of CRMs. 

The initial recording of research ideas and data is most always private and takes the form of laboratory notebooks and database files. The first communication of research data and ideas may or may not be private. Oral and informal written communication occurs between research colleagues and teams. In the era of e-mail and listserves, these initial written communications may also be public in that they exist on the Internet. If there is a financial or proprietary interest in the research, the first communication may be in the form of a patent application. 

Haber worried about his career. When he was passed over for a promotion, he suspected that his Jewish background was the reason. As a Jewish friend sardonically joked, Before 35 I was too young for a professorship, after 45 I was too old, and in-between I was a Jew. Professional jealousy may have played a role as well. Haber s enthusiasm for interdisciplinary science often swept him into the bailiwicks of rival professors. Wilhelm Ost-wald, the scientist who had refused Haber s applications for study, warned him, Achievements generated at a greater than the customary rate raise instinctive opposition amongst one s colleagues. Privately, Ostwald complained that Haber emptied a large pail of facts over our heads far too fast. 

In theory, the application of radon barriers should be adequate to avoid elevated radon levels in houses. In practice, however, a backup radon mitigation system has been found essential for maintaining indoor radon concentrations below 4 pCi/L in most homes studied. In the recent radon-resistant residential construction projects conducted by U.S. EPA and/or private builders, several of the homes designed to be radon resistant have contained radon concentrations above 4 pCi/L. In each of those houses, a backup system consisting of an active (fan-assisted), or passive (wind-and-stack-effect-assisted), SSD system was installed at the time of construction. When mechanical barriers failed to adequately control radon, the soil depressurization methods were made operational. 

Field Applicability Testing (FAT) Workshop. In March 1982, the EPA Office of Research and Development convened a workshop with the specific objectives to (1) assess the state of knowledge on determining the field applicability of laboratory bioassay tests, toxicity studies, microcosm studies, and mathematical chemical exposure models (i.e., the extent to which these methods have been tested/compared with field data), and (2) recommend research objectives and priorities to advance the current level of field testing. Workshop attendees included representatives from EPA research laboratories, universities, and private industry. 

The services are designed to enable the pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers to reduce overall development time and cost. Thus, research and development concentrates one of this company interests and they continuously accept new assignments for development from the private clients. However, they clearly states that the R D results and products will invariably be patented and the application will be rolled out internationally. Prior to commercialization, the developed products are evaluated and tested under controlled conditions with users and industry groups. 

Shimamori and Hatano (1976) describe a Febetron-injected microwave cavity apparatus for measuring electron concentration following pulse irradiation. Its application to thermalization in Ar and CH4 is similar to the method of Warman and Sauer (1975). In a related experiment, Hatano et al. (private communication) measure the electron collision frequency directly. 

The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine suggested that an economic-environmental-social model be devised and employed for the purposes of the country s sustainable development. This is a very complex and time-consuming approach that may not be usable at this time of industrial restructuring, privatization and other involved processes occurring in a collapsed national economy. An alternative tactics is put forward, which is applicable at both national and regional level. Instead of mathematical modeling and optimization, it uses systems approach and decision theory techniques. 

The competitive civil-service system is designed to give candidates fair and equal treatment and to ensure that federal applicants are hired based on objective criteria. Hiring has to be based solely on a candidate s knowledge, skills, and abilities (which you ll sometimes see abbreviated as ksa), and not on external factors such as race, religion, sex, and so on. Whereas employers in the private sector can hire employees for subjective reasons, federal employers must be able to justify their decision with objective evidence that the candidate is qualified. 

Other applications include car rental, shared-car ownership or public transport -these transfer the risk of ownership of a vehicle with a new propulsion system away from the private person. Once established, these niche applications can help to raise the profile of the new technology, increase public acceptance and provide opportunities for feedback that can lead to technology improvement. Once their commercial viability in the niche market has been proved, the vehicles can expand into wider markets. Particularly suitable for introducing hydrogen (or other alternative fuels) are buses, fleet vehicles and rental vehicles (Smith, 2001).
