Trade secrets may be any type of information, eg, formulae, patterns, compilations, forms, programs, devices, techniques, and processes, as weH as any patentable subject matter. However, in order for it to be a trade secret, there must be definite economic value in the information not being known to the pubHc or readily determinable by a third party. 

Sugar trading is controlled by contractual agreements between buyers and sellers. The contracts set specifications and limits and detail the required tests that must be conducted. In the United States, three parties participate in the analyses of raw sugar the buyer, the seller, and the New York Sugar Trade Laboratory (NYSTL). The settiement value for polarization is determined as the average of the two closest results if all three results are equidistant, all three results are averaged. 

High value products and often proprietaiy information are given into the custody of a third party. It is therefore essential to determine what measures are being taken by tollers to safeguard products and information. 

The third party auditor is entitled to look at the elements making up the quotation to verify that all appropriate elements have been included, but will not examine the values attributed to these elements. 

The operating cost includes items like fuel and other consumables. Maintenance costs are obviously repairs and periodic reworking of the structure. After the passage of years, nearly the entire aircraft structure has often been replaced part by parti The final category is the salvage value. What is the object worth at the end of its life Consider an aluminum airplane for which some scrap value exists at the end of its useful life. When the structure is no longer suitable to be flown, and there we... 

While express terms in a contract are advisable, some are of no value at all, and in fact can work against the author. An example is an unfair contract term that may be included, but if it is not sufficiently brought to the attention of the other party before the contract is made, it is not enforceable. 

The standard forms of contract invariably contain agreements to arbitrate in the event of a dispute and some even name the arbitrator or a professional body who will appoint an arbitrator, upon the application of one of the parties. Where no agreement to arbitrate exists, the injured party may sue in either a County Court or High Court, depending upon the value of the claim, and he must then prove his case before a judge. 

Methods for measurement of kp have been reviewed by Stickler,340 41 van Herk Vl and more recently by Beuermann and Buback.343 A largely non critical summary of values of kp and k, obtained by various methods appears in the Polymer Handbook.344 Literature values of kp for a given monomer may span two or more orders of magnitude. The data and methods of measurement have heen critically assessed by IUPAC working parties"45"01 and reliable values for most common monomers are now available. 43 The wide variation in values of kp (and k,) obtained from various studies docs not reflect experimental error but differences in data interpretation and the dependence of kinetic parameters on chain length and polymerization conditions. 

In the final phase of risk analysis—risk characterization—one integrates outputs of effects and exposure assessments. Risk is expressed in qualitative or quantitative estimates by comparison with reference values (e.g., hazard quotient). The severity of potential or actual damage should be characterized with the degree of uncertainty of risk estimates. Assumptions, data uncertainties and limitations of analyses are to be described clearly and reflected in the conclusions. The final product is a report that communicates to the affected and interested parties the analysis findings (Byrd and Cothern, 2000).
