Regulation theory

Besides the dangers originating from hazardous substances and the conflicting interests of the involved parties, the discussion surrounding chemicals policy is also characterised by problems of comprehension, e.g. between corporate practitioners and proponents of regulation theories and/or between experts and the public. We thus present some definitions at the start of this chapter, at least for the sake of improved terminological clarity ...

Adsorption of Metal Ions and Ligands. The sohd—solution interface is of greatest importance in regulating the concentration of aquatic solutes and pollutants. Suspended inorganic and organic particles and biomass, sediments, soils, and minerals, eg, in aquifers and infiltration systems, act as adsorbents. The reactions occurring at interfaces can be described with the help of surface-chemical theories (surface complex formation) (25). The adsorption of polar substances, eg, metal cations, M, anions. A, and weak acids, HA, on hydrous oxide, clay, or organically coated surfaces may be described in terms of surface-coordination reactions ... 

To save energy, many HVAC systems employ a mechanism for regulating the flow of outdoor air called an economizer cycle. An economizer cycle takes advantage of milder outdoor conditions to increase the outside air intake and in the process reduces the cooling load on the system. Controlling the rate of flow of outdoor air appears simple, in theory, but often works poorly m practice. The small pressure drop required to control the flow rate of outdoor air is rarely controlled and monitored. Quite often, the damper system used to regulate the airflow is nonfunctional, disconnected from the damper actuators, or casually adjusted by building operators (Institute of Medicine, 2000). 

When regulation fails to achieve the intended objective, the question arises of whether it was a failure solely of administration or of theory too. If advocates of regulation can prove failure to be largely administrative, it is easier to make the case for new regulations under improved administration. 

A model called histone code theory includes more aspects of chromatin regulation which have been identified. The histone code theory predicts that histone acetylation and other posttranslational histone modifications serve as binding sites for regulatory proteins which mediate processes like gene transcription upon recruitment (see Fig. 2b) [3]. In this context histone modifications can be understood as...

The audit also emphasizes the self-regulated nature of the industry and the ideal relationship between the agency and the industry. In theory and effective practice, a biomedical company utilizes its quality assurance (QA) unit (in this case, supplemented by credible Part 11 auditors) to maintain control of safety, effectiveness, and quality. The FDA can then review the quality system (QS) and spot-check the other systems such as laboratory or production for most efficient regulatory oversight. In effect, the QA regulates the company and the FDA regulates the QA.
