Conclusions. 1. There is no basis for finding that the agreement discriminates against any telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement.
Conclusions. Based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable Treasury Department regulations in effect as of the date hereof, current published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service contained in revenue rulings and procedures, and judicial decisions, and upon the assumptions and representations referred to herein and the documents provided to us by you (including the Proxy Statement and the Reorganization Agreement), it is our opinion for Federal income tax purposes that:
Conclusions. Stanxxx xxxcluded that, based upon and subject to its analysis, assumptions, limitations and qualifications cited in its opinion, and as of the date of the fairness opinion, the merger value to be paid in cash for the limited partner interests in connection with the mergers is fair from a financial point of view to the limited partner of each respective partnership. Compensation and Material Relationships. Stanxxx xxx been paid a fee of $200,000 in connection with the rendering of the fairness opinion. Such fee was not conditioned on Stanxxx'x xxxdings and is payable whether or not the mergers are consummated. In addition, Stanxxx xxxl be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, and will be indemnified against certain liabilities including certain liabilities under the securities laws. During the past two years, the partnerships had engaged Stanxxx xx render financial advisory services in connection with proposed transactions which were withdrawn and never consummated. In connection with such assignments Stanxxx xxx paid fees aggregating $125,000. ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTIONS TO THE MERGERS We considered the following alternative types of transactions before selecting the merger transaction described in this document. As discussed below, we believe that the mergers are the best available alternative for the partnerships to maximize the value of the partnerships' property interests.
Conclusions. 1. There is no basis for finding that the amendment to the previously approved agreement discriminates against any telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement.

Conclusions. Following the instructions above and providing accurate and readable text, tables, figures, and citations will help to make your report useful to readers. Scientists may read your report, as well as water planners, utility providers, and interested citizens. If your report successfully conveys accurate scientific information and explanations to these readers, we can help to create more informed decisions about the use, development, and management of water in the state.
Conclusions. The water was very soft with respect to hardness, but had a low sensitivity to acids. • The water quality objectives for ammonia, fecal contamination, lead, and zinc were attained. • Periphyton algal growth met the water quality objective on the one occasion when it was measured at the station in 1993, but a 1998 survey of the lower river found that the objective was exceeded downstream from the Xxxxxx-North Cowichan sewage treatment plant outfall. There was ample nitrogen and phosphorus to support algal growth. • Phosphorus had a declining trend in 2002-03 due to waste abatement at the Xxxxxx-North Cowichan sewage treatment plant. • Total copper exceeded the objectives occasionally during 1998-2003 due to elevated flow and turbidity, but dissolved copper met the objectives. • Chromium, cobalt, iron, and manganese occasionally exceeded guidelines for drinking water aesthetics and/or aquatic life, during winter high flows due to elevated turbidity. • Water quality objectives for dissolved oxygen were often not attained. • Water temperatures exceeded the guideline for cold-water fish species during the summer, when the water was warm enough for swimming. • Apparent increasing (deteriorating) trends in fecal coliforms, non-filterable residue, and turbidity were attributed to the increased sampling frequency during 2000-03. • Apparent decreasing (improving) trends in lead, molybdenum, and zinc were attributed to decreasing minimum detectable limits over time. RECOMMENDATIONS • Update the zinc objectives in accordance with the new guidelines for zinc. • Continue biweekly monitoring and reassess the data for trends in five years, when ten years of consistent, regular data are available. • Reduce the minimum detection limit for cadmium to at least ten times below the lowest water quality guideline when the technology becomes available.

Conclusions. The associations between food insecurity and diabetes as well as the high prevalence of both conditions give evidence that food insecurity should be addressed in clinical settings. This study makes the case that electronic medical records should include measures of food insecurity for appropriate referral. More research, especially longitudinal, is necessary to continue to examining this association.

A huge thank you also goes to Xxx Xxxxx of Atlanta Community Food Bank for standing by me through every iteration of this project, from when it was just an idea in my head all the way to the finish line. Thank you to Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxx-Jones, without whom I would not have had the clinical nor hospital support to complete this survey. I am incredibly grateful for my friends and peers, especially those in the nutrition department at Xxxxxxx, who encouraged me to keep moving forward even in the face of setbacks. Most of all, thank you to my parents, Xxxxx and Xxxxx, for being my rocks throughout the entire journey that was graduate school. To say, “I would not be here without you” is a gross understatement.

Conclusions. The efforts in this deliverable were turned to the definition of what are the PROPHESY-AR layer purposes, its components and specifications of these components. At first, we performed a SotA analysis for the two visualization approaches are going to be used in PROPHESY-AR: data visualization and augmented reality. We combined the finding of the SotA analysis with requirements provided by user stories in Task 2.4 and generally by WP2, in order to achieve the general specifications. Based on the general specifications an architecture of PROPHESY-AR is proposed within its components and interaction with other PROPHESY layers. After, for each approach, we defined more detailed specifications based on defined use – cases. In details we provided a methodology for defining and implementing the dashboard are going to be used for the data visualization in Task 5.2. Finally, we presented the detailed specifications for augmented reality part which is composed with to solutions PHILIPS AR-Viewer and Remote Maintenance System. The implementation of these augmented reality solutions is part of Tasks 5.3 and 5.4 respectively. 7 References [1] X. X.

Conclusions. In conclusion, we have developed a green version of organo- phosphorus-catalysed amide bond formation between unacti- vated aromatic carboxylic acids and amines. The commercially available pre-catalyst 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-phospholene oxide 4 is reduced in situ by inexpensive and environmentally benign poly(methylhydrosiloxane) and bis( p-nitrophenyl) phosphate. With our newly developed method a wide variety of secondary and tertiary amides could be synthesised in very good to excel- lent yields. It is envisioned that organophosphorus catalysis will be a subject of extensive investigations in the upcoming years. Moreover, we believe that poly(methylhydrosiloxane) will find practical applications in several other common reactions in organic chemistry. Experimental A Radleys tube equipped with a magnetic stirbar was charged with carboxylic acid (0.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), phosphine oxide 4 (0.075 mmol or 0.125 mmol; 0.15 or 0.25 equiv.), and Published on 17 July 2017. Downloaded by Radboud University Nijmegen on 3/8/2019 8:23:31 AM. bis( p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (0.025 mmol, 0.05 equiv.). Subsequently toluene (2.5 mL, 0.2 M) was added, and to the formed suspension were added benzylamine (0.65 mmol, 1.3 equiv.), CCl4 (1.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv.), and poly(methyl- hydrosiloxane) (Mw 2450 Da, 0.12 mmol, 9 Si–H equiv.). The reaction was stirred at 110 °C for 20 hours. After cooling to room temperature, toluene was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was resuspended in ethyl acetate (20 mL). The organic phase was washed with sat. aqueous NaHCO3 (2 × 20 mL), brine (1 × 20 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated. The crude product was puri- fied by silica column chromatography (ethyl acetate and n-heptane) to afford the desired amide. Conflict of interest There are no conflicts of interest to declare.
