Contribution to Standards. The Uni-Verse project is a research project, which will produce a prototype platform, where the base software and most clients will be open-source and possible to use freely for the European IT and media industry. In the future the real-time protocol Verse [17] can be made into a standard or affect coming standards. The MP3 standard was developed at the Fraunhofer Society by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, but there is a close collaboration between all Fraunhofer Institutes. The Fraunhofer Society was also highly active in the formulation of the MPEG4 standard. The Uni-Verse system also has the potential to become a de facto standard in the open source world. The Blender Foundation will actively work to make this happen. The collaboration with Xxxxxx, who will include modules from Uni-Verse into their open source multi player on line game engine, also helps to make Uni-Verse used in the open source community.

Contribution to Standards. ‌ All outputs (technically all knowledge produced by the project1) will be open and free, in the sense defined by the Open Source Initiative (OSI)2 and the Free Software Foundation3. Specifically, all software will be made available to the community under a GNU General Public Licence (GPL) and all documents will be made available to the community under a Free Documentation Licence (FDL). This adherence to the philosophy of open systems for all activities and results will help contribute, if not to formal standards, at least to common usage and mutual sharing of knowledge in the community, thereby fostering more effective collaboration. Because the GPL / FDL licences are copy- left licences, this ensures that all works or results that are derived from the results of the euCognition activities will also be open and free (and available under GPL / FDL licences).
Contribution to Standards. Many of the contributions that will be made to European standards by this project have already been touched upon in the previous sections. The report suggesting the future direction of European research towards improving the control of viruses/vectors using genetic resistance will be among the most important contributions to be made by this project. This project will contribute to defining and harmonizing pre-standards for evaluation of control strategies based on the use of genetic resistance against plant pathogenic viruses and their vectors. It will also assist in the development and validation of methodologies for analysis of resistance traits, including practical systems for sampling, data mining and analysis that could serve as suggested guidelines to establish control actions and to help authorities in decision making. Indeed, there is a need to unify the conditions of analysis of resistance to bypass the confusion caused by the absence of standard evaluation protocols. Many investigations in the past ended up with incomplete analysis of the resistance, retarding its putative practical application and raising concerns in the public about biosafety of the technologies employed. Such deficiencies should be overcome by setting up pre-standards of evaluation under laboratory and controlled field conditions, including a clear characterisation of the type of resistance, and means to predict associated risks, including those related to the use of transgenic plants. Guidance to prepare protocols to evaluate germplasm for virus resistance are envisaged, and data emerging from model systems must be judged for their relevance and efficacy in crop plants as well as their extent to different viruses and vectors (target and non-target). At present, European research in this field is fragmented and, sometimes, duplicated in member states. Different member states are pursuing very different policies, with varying degrees of complementarity. Considerable research effort is being expended that may never yield successful virus/vector resistant crops. The research direction report, which will identify the most promising new sources and mechanisms of sustainable resistance to plant viruses, and their vectors, for incorporation into conventional and transgenic crops, will be presented to all major funding bodies in Europe (the EU, national funding councils etc.) and will allow these bodies to focus their research efforts on the most promising approaches. This will not to...

  • How Are Distributions from a Xxxx XXX Taxed for Federal Income Tax Purposes Amounts distributed to you are generally excludable from your gross income if they (i) are paid after you attain age 59½, (ii) are made to your beneficiary after your death, (iii) are attributable to your becoming disabled, (iv) subject to various limits, the distribution is used to purchase a first home or, in limited cases, a second or subsequent home for you, your spouse, or you or your spouse’s grandchild or ancestor, or (v) are rolled over to another Xxxx XXX. Regardless of the foregoing, if you or your beneficiary receives a distribution within the five-taxable-year period starting with the beginning of the year to which your initial contribution to your Xxxx XXX applies, the earnings on your account are includable in taxable income. In addition, if you roll over (convert) funds to your Xxxx XXX from another individual retirement plan (such as a Traditional IRA or another Xxxx XXX into which amounts were rolled from a Traditional IRA), the portion of a distribution attributable to rolled-over amounts which exceeds the amounts taxed in connection with the conversion to a Xxxx XXX is includable in income (and subject to penalty tax) if it is distributed prior to the end of the five-tax-year period beginning with the start of the tax year during which the rollover occurred. An amount taxed in connection with a rollover is subject to a 10% penalty tax if it is distributed before the end of the five-tax-year period. As noted above, the five-year holding period requirement is measured from the beginning of the five-taxable-year period beginning with the first taxable year for which you (or your spouse) made a contribution to a Xxxx XXX on your behalf. Previously, the law required that a separate five-year holding period apply to regular Xxxx XXX contributions and to amounts contributed to a Xxxx XXX as a result of the rollover or conversion of a Traditional IRA. Even though the holding period requirement has been simplified, it may still be advisable to keep regular Xxxx XXX contributions and rollover/ conversion Xxxx XXX contributions in separate accounts. This is because amounts withdrawn from a rollover/conversion Xxxx XXX within five years of the rollover/conversion may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. As noted above, a distribution from a Xxxx XXX that complies with all of the distribution and holding period requirements is excludable from your gross income. If you receive a distribution from a Xxxx XXX that does not comply with these rules, the part of the distribution that constitutes a return of your contributions will not be included in your taxable income, and the portion that represents earnings will be includable in your income. For this purpose, certain ordering rules apply. Amounts distributed to you are treated as coming first from your non-deductible contributions. The next portion of a distribution is treated as coming from amounts which have been rolled over (converted) from any non-Xxxx IRAs in the order such amounts were rolled over. Any remaining amounts (including all earnings) are distributed last. Any portion of your distribution which does not meet the criteria for exclusion from gross income may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Note that to the extent a distribution would be taxable to you, neither you nor anyone else can qualify for capital gains treatment for amounts distributed from your account. Similarly, you are not entitled to the special five- or ten- year averaging rule for lump-sum distributions that may be available to persons receiving distributions from certain other types of retirement plans. Rather, the taxable portion of any distribution is taxed to you as ordinary income. Your Xxxx XXX is not subject to taxes on excess distributions or on excess amounts remaining in your account as of your date of death. You must indicate on your distribution request whether federal income taxes should be withheld on a distribution from a Xxxx XXX. If you do not make a withholding election, we will not withhold federal or state income tax. Note that, for federal tax purposes (for example, for purposes of applying the ordering rules described above), Xxxx IRAs are considered separately from Traditional IRAs.
