Private multiples

While the homestead theory was never seriously considered in the United States experience, it has been recommended as part ot a subsoil privatization program for Latin America. The major attraction is increased economic efficiency Production and management of a contiguous oil and gas resei voir is most efficiently done by one operator, and homesteading creates one owner in place of multiple owners under the rule of capture. 

Causal Trees were developed in an effort to use the principles of deductive logic found in Fault Tree but make it more user-friendly. Originally, private companies developed the Causal Tree Method (CTM) for safety, process safety, and environmental incident investigations applications. Rhone-Poulenc, for example, was an early user.<20.21) Multiple-Cause Systems Oriented Incident Investigation (MCSOfl) is another name for the CTM. At this time, most companies use simplified versions of fault trees for complex incident investigations. 

The ideas in this chapter owe much to the work of Hannah Arendt, in particular her book The Human Condition (Arendt, 1958).1 Arendt emphasized the publicness of the world it is always to some extent public in the sense of being shared by more than one person. The things of the world are not like private thoughts and feelings rather they appear to and can be experienced by multiple people, from a plurality of perspectives. My claim that technology is world-building therefore means that technology is no mere private matter, but is always of public... 

Financial markets value companies. The cycle of equity markets measured as a multiple of the current EBITDA performance of a company is important, as it influences the value and the timing of exits for financial sponsors. The availability of debt markets is equally important because LBOs require sophisticated debt financing arrangements. Conditions in both equity and debt markets have an impact on private equity investments. 

Data acquisition is presented in the upper left comer of Figure 1. The information is read from multiple heterogeneous sources and transformed in our standard format. The acquisition mechanism understands the IDMEF format, our private database format, and several dedicated log sources such as firewall logs (Cisco, Netscreen, Checkpoint, IPtables), access control mechanisms (TCP-wrappers, login), VPN concentrators, IDS sensors and routers. 

This issue describes some of the many activities taking place today in the United States to develop measurement systems that will hopefully provide for traceability and or comparability of chemical measurements. Much of the activity is taking place in the private sector where we are seeing multiple approaches to measurement traceability and comparability both in the measurement of chemical quantities and in the production of reference materials. The extent to... 

Figure 3.26 Schematic representation of a five-zone dielectric continuum model used to calculate As for hole transfer between guanine sites (zone 1 (the solute )) in an aqueous DNA duplex [23]. The other zones refer, respectively, to other nucleobases of the DNA tt stack (zone 2) sugar-phosphate backbone (zone 3) bound water within 3 A of the surface of the DNA (zone 4) and bulk water (zone 5). The + and — charges are the simplest possible model for the net charge density change (Ap) involved in As (see Equation (3.89)). In the actual detailed calculations (see text and Equation (3.95)) multiple point-charge D and A sites were employed (figure drawn by Dr. K. Siriwong, private communication).
