Subject field(s)

CONT

When integrity relates to an organisation - whether public or private - the values are those of the collective body (that is, institutional integrity). Institutional integrity is based on customs, rules, codes of conduct, and other work policies and practices external to the individual, which he/she is expected to adopt.

CONT

Along with the need to defend institutional integrity to external audiences, [leaders] must promote dynamic adaptation, foster new organizational competence, and cultivate an evolving sense of mission through "critical decisions" that alter institutional character in the longer term.

  • Travail et emploi
CONT

The APPF is a loosely-structured and non-exclusive forum of national parliamentarians who participate either as delegates of their parliaments or in their personal capacities. The APPF, which was founded by the former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, seeks to provide opportunities for national parliamentarians of the Asia Pacific region to identify and discuss matters of common concern and interest and to highlight them in a global context; to deepen their understanding of the policy concerns, interests and experiences of the countries of the region; to examine the critical political, social, and cultural developments resulting from economic growth and integration; to encourage and promote regional cooperation at all levels on matters of common concern to the region; and to play the roles of national parliamentarians in furthering in their respective countries a sense of regional cohesion, understanding and cooperations.

Record 6 2001-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Power Supply
  • Electric Currents
CONT

The enormous current generated during a short circuit produces damaging heat at a much faster rate than can be safely dispersed. Interrupt the current and you stop adding heat to the system. Time is a critical determinant of the amount of heat(energy) added. An electrical short that lasts three cycles, for example, adds six times the energy of one lasting just one-half cycle. It's in this sense that all circuit breakers and fuses "limit" current. Add a current limiting device, i. e. ususally a fuse, but sometimes a circuit breaker and fuse in series, that restricts the fault current to a value less than the starter's short-circuit withstand rating.

Sense amplifiers respond to induced voltage impulses during the read cycle. In some systems, they are strobed during a critical time of the cycle, producing an active(high) output when a logical 1 is read, regardless of the induced polarity on the two ends of the sense/inhibit wires for each bit.
