Tranching

Typically, the contractor carries the cost of exploration, appraisal and development, later claiming these costs form a tranche of the produced oil or gas ( cost oil ). If the cost oil allowance is insufficient to cover the annual costs (capex and opex), excess costs are usually deferred to the following year. After the deduction of royalty (if applicable) the remaining volume of production (called profit oil ) is then split between the contractor and the host government. The contractor will usually pay tax on the contractor s share of the profit oil. In diagrammatic form the split of production for a typical PSC is shown in Figure 13.11. 

Cole et al. (1995) reported on knock-out mice with a germ line deletion of GR. They demonstrated that lack of GR leads to perinatal death, atelectasis of the lung, and lack of adrenalin synthesis. To circumvent perinatal lethality, Tranche et al. (1999) and Brewer et al. (2003) generated tissue-specific somatic deletions of GR. This allowed to characterize GR function in the CNS, the immune system, and the liver in more detail. In particular, these approaches revealed novel aspects of organ-specific glucocorticoid physiology such as anxiety-like behavior, growth control, and polyclonal T cell activation. 

Meanwhile the first tranche of the registration is done for all chemicals with a market volume of more than 1,000 Mg/a and for chemicals which have a high concern out of hazardous reasons (e.g., carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction (CMR)). By the REACH deadline of 30 November 2010 for the first tranche, 24,675 registration dossiers were submitted for 4,300 substances including nearly...

It is presently found that the three variables [of dimensionality] are not sufficient for our Analysis. This has happened because this Analysis, in a manner ever more powerful and demanding, has pursued its research further into THE WORLD OF SMALL DIMENSIONS that was formerly known to our ancestors. The fourth-dimensional geometrician envisions space as being divided into AN INFINITY OF INFINITELY TINY SLICES [infinite des tranches infinitement minces]. 

Material bodies scattered throughout Plane P have neither zero thickness nor are they infinitely small. They have, instead, a very small, finite thickness, and this is formed by superimposed atoms or molecules. This thickness is not suspected by the Plat Men [or inhabitants of a wholly imaginary, two-dimensional Flat Land ], for whom there is only a bed of atoms and for whom groupings of atoms constituting the molecules are all formed within Plane P. This hypothesis does not, however, deny the possibility, if one prefers, of considering some identical bodies to be like slices [tranches] within the three-dimensional body of our Universe.. . . ...

LBO financings require a healthy cash flow for interest payments and repayments of debt tranches. The net debt position also determines the equity value that can be realized for financial sponsors on exit. The two major levers for improved cash flow management are working capital management and a disciplined capital expenditure program.

The second most abundant class of chondrules is the Al-rich chondrules (given many names over the last two decades), which are compositionally much more diverse than Fe,Mg-rich chondrules. Some of these may be intermediate between CAIs and FeO-poor chondrules (Connolly Desch 2004 Tranche et al. 2007). Very few constraints exist on their thermal histories. 

As the steps of 100 ktonnes S /yr built up, critical loads exceedence at the Welsh receptor site declined monotonicaUy as expected. The plot of critical load exceedence against cumulative installed retrofit capacity exhibited a marked effect of "diminishing returns". That is, the decrement in critical loads exceedence with each additional 100 ktonnes S /yr tranche of retrofit FGD capacity, declined progressively.
