Regulatory capture

Why were industry-friendly views so widely adopted among government scientists of the era This outcome, an early example of a phenomenon now known as regulatory capture, cannot be explained by the natural process of intellectual interactions among peers. Industry and its allies put forward reasoned arguments, to be sure, but these arguments won more acceptance than their intrinsic persuasive power and the reputations of their... 

Some inspectors uniformed and rotated regularly through jobs to minimise regulatory capture. 

A number of underlying causes for TEPCO and NISA s failure to follow international best practices and standards can be identified. NISA lacked independence from the government agencies responsible for promoting nuclear power and also from the industry. Regulatory capture has been used describe this issue, where regulators...

In the late 1980s attempts were made in California to shift fuel use to methanol in order to capture the air quaHty benefits of the reduced photochemical reactivity of the emissions from methanol-fueled vehicles. Proposed legislation would mandate that some fraction of the sales of each vehicle manufacturer be capable of using methanol, and that fuel suppHers ensure that methanol was used in these vehicles. The legislation became a study of the California Advisory Board on Air QuaHty and Fuels. The report of the study recommended a broader approach to fuel quaHty and fuel choice that would define environmental objectives and allow the marketplace to determine which vehicle and fuel technologies were adequate to meet environmental objectives at lowest cost and maximum value to consumers. The report directed the California ARB to develop a regulatory approach that would preserve environmental objectives by using emissions standards that reflected the best potential of the cleanest fuels. 

Pesticides. Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides (qv) are often found in feed or water consumed by cows (19,20) subsequently, they may appear in the milk, where they are not permitted. Tests for pesticides are seldom carried out in the dairy plant, but are most often done in regulatory or private specialized laboratories. Examining milk for insecticide residues involves extraction of fat, because the insecticide is contained in the fat, partitioning with acetonitrile, cleanup (FlorisH [26686-77-1] column) and concentration, saponification if necessary, and determination by means of paper, thin-layer, microcoulometric gas, or electron capture gas chromatography (see Trace and residue analysis). 

The requirements for regulatory approval and intellectual property management, and in particular the ability to file USPTO patent submissions, do place constraints on what systems can be applied for record keeping, but the good news is that there are no insurmountable barriers to these records being captured and managed electronically. 

The framework for data collection, as depicted in Figure 2.1, lays down the focus and scope of this study. The regulation of human pharmaceuticals, as addressed in this study, has four dimensions administrative elements, regulatory functions, technical elements and level of regulation. As well as capturing the various dimensions of dmg regulation, this framework allows for comparison of dmg regulation between countries. 

Automated electronic data capture systems have become increasingly important in the laboratory. They have improved the ease of manipulation and reporting of chromatography data. A regulatory requirement is that these systems must generate a permanent audit trail of the parameters employed in the collection and analysis of those data. 

The C02 gas quality has significant impact on the capture cost by this technology, and uncertainties on the future regulatory requirements of C02 quality for its transport and storage has influence on the process configuration of the oxy-combustion plant, gas cleaning unit performance, overall C02 recovery capacity and on the energy requirements for C02 compression and purification. 

DNA viruses modulate the host immune response, e.g., most likely the etiologic agent of Kaposfs sarcoma, KSHV (human herpes vims —8), has captured complement-binding proteins, three cytokines (two macrophage inflammatory proteins and interleukin 6), bcl-2, interferon regulatory factors, interleukin 8 receptor. Certain retroviruses... 

Legal and regulatory framework for C02 capture, transport and storage... 

When investigating the entire regulatory framework of carbon capture and storage, it becomes quickly evident that the extent of legislation and regulation decreases drastically along the chain from capture to transport to storage. 

Legal and regulatory environment The operation of C02 capture, and of C02 storage in particular, on a large industrial scale is to be considered as a new industrial activity. So far,... 

Staining patterns of two-dimensional gels show the six RC ATPases to be present at comparable levels, and affinity capture of yeast 26S proteasomes indicate the presence of one copy of each in the regulatory complex. Mutational analysis in...
