Under-utilization

The VDUs (visual display units) in both control rooms were under-utilized for response to and control of abnormal events, in comparison to other industries. The control room computer had the capability to give the technicians considerable flexibility and power in controlling both productivity and safety factors offshore. However, this power was not utilized. 

Ratios well below 1 may indicate financial problems ahead while those substantially greater than 1 may point to poor credit control or under-utilization of cash. This ratio is sometimes known as the acid test . The principal profitability ratio in use is the net profit before interest and tax (NPBIT) to net assets or return on capital employed. 

The scope of possible reactions using water as a solvent is quite remarkable and water is much under-utilized as a solvent in many academic and industrial research institutions, largely through lack of knowledge and a culture of using organic solvents. Several other examples... 

Although rice bran is still a wasted product all over the world, recent scientific studies have recognized its potential health benefits. This is a unique, nutrient-dense natural product which offers health benefits for a series of ailments. It is a food pharmacy worth considering not only for general health maintenance but also as a dietary supplement for serious health conditions. With the advent of unique stabilization technology rice bran, an under-utilized waste product, has now been made available as a highly nutritious, health-promoting food for humans. 

Dextran was chosen to study for the following reasons. First, it is water soluble allowing three dimensional modification employing aqueous solution and classical interfacial condensation routes. Second, it is readily available in industrial quantities. Third, it is available in a range of molecular weight allowing product modification to be studied as a function of dextran chain size. Fourth, it is generally considered to be an under-utilized natural feedstock. 

Under utilities should be included the costs for items that enter the plant but do not enter directly into the material formulation of the products or by-products. This includes coal, oil, gas, electricity, water, air, and inert gases. The amounts of cooling, process, and potable water should each be specified. Potable water is water that can be used for drinking and food preparation. It is usually purchased from a nearby municipality. The average electrical power required, peak power required, and demand power need to be calculated. Demand power is the number of kilowatts of energy that the utility company agrees to supply on an uninterrupted basis. A premium price is charged for this power. 

Solubility modelling with activity coefficient methods is an under-utilized tool in the pharmaceutical sector. Within the last few years there have been several new developments that have increased the capabilities of these techniques. The NRTL-SAC model is a flexible new addition to the predictive armory and new software that facilitates local fitting of UNIFAC groups for Pharmaceutical molecules offers an interesting alternative. Quantum chemistry approaches like COSMO-RS [25] and COSMO-SAC [26] may allow realistic ab-initio calculations to be performed, although computational requirements are still restrictive in many corporate environments. Solubility modelling has an important role to play in the efficient development and fundamental understanding of pharmaceutical crystallization processes. The application of these methods to industrially relevant problems, and the development of new... 

Many improvements are still needed to make really effective use of renewable raw materials in biorefineries. Full utilization of the plants is needed instead of the current under utilization, as well as the development of processes to add value to all fractions of the plant and to valorize the by-products of other industrial... 

Since its introduction over three years ago, MAECIS has enjoyed wide use for information retrieval. However, the computational parts of MAECIS are still largely unexplored and under utilized. In time this will change as our chemist spend less time looking for information and more time using information. 

Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Likewise, the reserves in the USA and Canada are 17% and 19.1% respectively. Nevertheless, statistical analysis shows that European UGS have been under-utilized during the latest years. That s why it is recommended for operators to justify planning margins through cost-benefit analysis and other affecting factors, in the liberalized conditions of new gas markets. 

To decide whether a guide value has been exceeded or fallen short of, a check measurement should, as specified in the basic scheme, be taken under utilization conditions before initiating further action. 

Re-measurements after 1 month or so are recommended (under utilization conditions). 

Check guide value violations immediately by means of re-measurements under utilization conditions and take into consideration the information in Section 9.4. 

Level 4 Rooms with TVOC values between >3 and 10 mg/m3 are evaluated as giving cause for concern regarding health and should, where no alternatives are available, only be used for a limited period of time (no more than 1 month) and with a higher frequency of regular ventilation. A toxicological evaluation of individual substances and groups of substances should be carried out. Subsequent re-measurement to check the indoor air quality is carried out under utilization conditions. 

The use of time-outs for under-utilized terminals in order to prevent unauthorized use while unattended. 

Under-utilized capacities/opportunities for fixed cost dilution... 

Because of such environmental concerns, Iceland may find it difficult to further develop its hydropower potential. Still, the current under-utilized capacity at hydroelectric plants would allow for significant hydrogen production, as explained by a study conducted by the World Wildlife Fund and the Iceland Nature Conservation Association ... 

This figure also indicates the expanded coke capacity base and how under-utilized this equipment will be in the mid-1980s. No additional coking units are expected for 1986 through the end of this century. 

Diabetes mellitus ( sweet urine ) involves relative over-production of glucose by the liver and under-utilization by other organs. Diabetes is the most serious metabolic disease in terms of its social impact. Obesity and the indulgent Western diet correlates with mature age diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) typically manifests at less than 20 years from autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing pancreatic (3 cells. Type 1 diabetes is insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and is fatal without exogenous insulin. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (mature age diabetes) occurs later in life and typically involves both deficient insulin production and insulin resistance , that is, the target cells are less responsive to insulin. Type 2 diabetes is initially non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) but insulin therapy (in addition to oral antidiabetics) may eventually be required. Hyperglycaemia due...
