An incinerator will usually have a fuel of varying chemical composition and physical properties, as well as varying moisture content and heating value. Also, the fuel fired in one locality may be vastly different from that fired by an incinerator of similar size and design in another locality. Refuse production in the United States has been estimated to average 2.5 kg per person per day in 1970, increasing to 10 kg per person per day by the year 2000. 

Arrhenius success in science must be credited not only to his brilliance as a scientist but also to his conviction in his views. His understanding of the electrical properties of aqueous solutions nus so far ahead of contemporary thought that it would have been ignored but for his confidence in the usefulness of his theory and his refusal to abandon it. It is fitting tribute that the ionic model of aqueous solutions has changed permanently the face of inorganic chemistry. 

A person may voluntarily waive their Fourth Amendment rights. Upon doing so, the police may search or seize the person and property. Questions of voluntary relinquishment are reviewed and scrutinized by the courts based on the totality of all the circumstances. Factors to be considered are as follows whether the person had knowledge of his right to refuse consent whether the waiver was knowingly... 

Now, then [continued Berzelius], it is clear that the columbic acid of Mr. Hatchett, having been composed of oxide of tantalum and tungstic acid, which communicated to it a part of its specific properties, it is clear, I say, that Mr. Hatchett shares the discovery of tantalum in almost the same manner as MM. Fourcroy and Vauquelin share with Mr. Tennant the honor of having discovered osmium ( Thomson s System, Ed. IV, Vol. 1, p. 200), and I suppose that you will not refuse to render the same justice to the work of the Swede Ekeberg that you have just rendered to the Englishman Tennant. ... 

The Malay entrepreneurs recorded in Makassar chronicles as entided to the kind of autonomy and guarantees of property that traders everywhere require, were reported to originate from Johor, Patani, Pahang, Minangkabau and Champa , while Indian Muslims later also played a prominent role in the community. As if prophetically aware of the stereotype into which British colonialism would caste Malays two centuries later, the Melayu community who had helped spread Islam in the island of Sumbawa refused to be rewarded with rice-fields, for we are sailors and traders, not peasants , and asked instead for exemption from port duties (cited Reid 1988-93, II 128). 

Raw coal from the mine must be treated (washed, sized, sorted, etc.) prior to shipment to the end user. The amount of refuse discarded may he up to 211% of the raw coal. Power plants and other coal consumers use transport systems, furnaces, heaters, reactors, and the like that demand uniform feedstocks. Coal preparation plants are not highly standardized because of differences tn the physical and chemical properties of the raw coal from one mine location to the next, See Fig. LV... 

I would like to comment on intellectual property as that issue was raised earlier. Akzo Nobel had more than 100 contracts with universities. In most of those the intellectual property was assigned to the university. We would write and file the application, covering all costs for patent execution on behalf of the university. In response, Akzo Nobel would obtain the first right of refusal for a royalty-bearing license with limits on royalties defined. The universities maintained the right to license to others in different fields of use. 

On the other hand, we cannot refuse simple models of the ideal layer. The knowledge of the dynamic properties of this layer is a basis for the qualitative interpretation of complicated real situations. 

One technology to be tested at the CCTF will be a microbubble flotation process developed by Bechtel National, Inc., of San Francisco. Microbubble flotation is a further development of conventional froth flotation of coal. Froth flotation is a physicochemical process that uses the difference in the surface properties of coal and its associated mineral impurities to effect a separation. An aqueous coal slurry is fed into an aerated tank, where the hydrophobic coal particles become attached to, and are buoyed to the surface by, finely dispersed air bubbles and are collected as a clean-coal-froth product. The mineral matter, being hydrophilic, is wetted by water and remains in suspension to be carried off as refuse. 

As noted above, FDA may refuse to provide written recommendations for various reasons, such as incompleteness or absence of required information in section 316.10(b). Insufficient information about the drug to identify the active moiety and its physical and chemical properties are cause for refusal to provide recommendations as is, insufficient evidence that the disease is indeed of sufficient incidence to warrant orphan designation, among others. Such refusal will be in writing. The FDA will describe the information or material it requires or the conditions the sponsor must meet for FDA to provide recommendations (9). 

Early on, Niels Bohr had speculated that electrons were particles circling an atoms nucleus in quantum shells with fixed energies. Helium, he knew, has two electrons. Because it is a very stable atom, one that refuses to gain or lose electrons under most conditions, Bohr concluded that two electrons filled the lowest energy shell, which he called n= 1. Bohr offered no reason why two electrons would completely fill that energy shell he simply based his conclusion on the known properties of helium.
