OVERALL OBJECTIVE. The overall objective of the Voluntary Agreement is to reduce the energy consumption of CSTBs in accordance with the energy consumption targets and time frame established in Annex D (Maximum Energy Consumption Targets and Time Schedule), with a view to maximising the environmental benefits from improved design. Ecodesign requirements and energy consumption targets should be set bearing in mind the intended use of CSTBs, and should not have a negative impact on their functionality. In particular a detrimental impact on CSTBs (which would include slower start-up times, the ability to schedule recordings, the ability to record remotely, hinder the availability of push VOD content to customers, etc.) would seriously impede the intended use of the vast majority of CSTBs, and in so doing, would fundamentally undermine the EU Action Plan on Energy Efficiency for this product group. In direct contrast to this, the Voluntary Agreement delivers an industry-wide commitment to reducing the potential environmental impact of CSTBs. It goes beyond a “business as usual” scenario and provides for quick progress by means of rapid and cost-effective implementation, while allowing for flexible and appropriate adaptation to technological options and market sensitivities. This Voluntary Agreement sets out the means by which the Signatories, which are drawn from across the spectrum of the CSTB industry, will commit to achieving such rapid and effective implementation while continuing to invest in and develop sustainable and appropriate “best of class” CSTB products.

OVERALL OBJECTIVE. The Owner intends to develop a new Greenfield facility to provide activated carbon (“AC”) to its clients and to deliver electrical energy to the local utility. This Scope of Work outlines the Contractor’s role in the design, procurement, erection, training, startup/testing, commissioning and turnover of the Project to Owner (the “Work”).
OVERALL OBJECTIVE. The objective of this Statement of Objectives is to develop and flight test an innovative long-range cruise missile that will fit in the SOPGM common launch tube, be compatible to the Battle Management System (BMS) and have a threshold range of 200 Nm and an objective range greater than 400 Nm, and have the ability to acquire and/or reacquire a target after employment.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE. 3.1 The Parties agree with each other to enter into an enterprise established for the objectives set out in Clause 3.2 and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
OVERALL OBJECTIVE. Determine in vitro effects of brevetoxins on immune cells using Jurkat cells as a model system. Description of status of work performed: Research efforts under this objective are described below. Our model system for human immune cells was the Jurkat clone E-6 cell line. This cell line is of T-lymphocyte origin and possesses many of the features of human T lymphocytes, including T-cell receptor and calcium channels important in cell activation. Research activities are described in (b) effects of brevetoxins on ion channels, (c) effects of brevetoxins on ERK1/2 signalling pathways, (d) effects of brevetoxin on Src kinase, and (e) effects of brevetoxin on calcium flux. These experiments were designed to contribute information towards understanding potential mechanisms of action of brevetoxins on immune system components. The mechanism of action of brevetoxin exposure on immune cells and on immune competence is not well understood. Such detailed understanding is necessary in order to understand the full impact of brevetoxin exposure on human health and to direct efforts towards mitigating symptoms and immune system effects experienced by those exposed to brevetoxins through marine aerosols. Problems encountered and solutions: These issues will be described below as they relate to individual experiments.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE. The Parties, recognising: (a) their common interest in protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons, and in particular their right to privacy, with respect to the processing of personal data; (b) the importance of maintaining effective data protection regimes as a means of protecting the interests of consumers, stimulating investor confidence and facilitating cross-border flows of personal data; (c) the need to collect and process personal data in a transparent and fair manner, with due respect accorded to the data subject, agree to establish appropriate legal and regulatory regimes, and the appropriate administrative capacity to implement them, including independent supervisory authorities, in order to ensure an adequate level of protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, in line with the highest international standards [4].
OVERALL OBJECTIVE. The overall objective is to enhance the contribution of the livestock sector to sustainable food security and poverty reduction in the IGAD region.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE. The overall objective of the JRPA is to increase the effectiveness of the United States and Canadian research programs, through joint research projects, information exchange, program coordination, visits to experimental facilities, and joint assessments affecting the ability of current inventory holdings to pump extremely viscous oils.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE. The University Transfer - Associate of Arts/Associate of Science degrees are designed to prepare students to enter Baccalaureate programs with a junior status at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Upon completion, students will have met the general education requirements of University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, with up to 61 credits, based on individual course selection, eligible for guaranteed admission and transfer. Elective options will allow students to select courses that appeal to future career plans. The curriculum proposed will provide sufficient options for enrollees to complete the Associate Degree requirements in two years and the Bachelor’s Degree requirements in four years. Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) and University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (UWO) have developed a guaranteed transfer agreement (see Appendix A). FVTC and UWO agree to commit to a partnership under the terms of this memorandum of understanding (MOU) and all of its incorporated attachments. FVTC has reviewed courses that are part of current Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) university transfer degrees to align in title and number. FVTC classes will be available through in-person, online, virtual (online synchronous), or a combination of delivery modes, with some exceptions. Students will need to complete a minimum of 25% of the degree, or 16 credits, at FVTC; the degree will be awarded by FVTC.
