Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Law
DEF

Permit to emit a specified quantity of a polluant. This permit may be traded.

OBS

Tradable permits have been proposed as an alternative to the tax. There are two main possibilities :(i) estimating "reasonable" emissions country by country and establishing commensurate quotas or(ii) distributing tradable rights in accordance with some "equitably" criterion, such as equal emissions per capita(a possibility that has actually been discussed). Depending on how restrictive the aggregate of such tradable emission rights might be, the latter is tantamount to distributing trillions of dollars in discounted value and making, for a country like Nigeria, the outcome of its population census the country's major economic policy. If, instead, quotas are negotiated to correspond to every country's currently "reasonable" emissions level, they will surely be renegotiated every 5 or 10 years, and selling an emissions right will be perceived as evidence that a quota was initially too generous. It is unlikely that governments will engage in trades that acknowledge excessive initial quotas.

OBS

Émissions trading/échange de droits d'émission (États-Unis; l'EPA [Environment Protection Agency] autorise dans certains cas des entreprises pour lesquelles la lutte contre la pollution est très coûteuse à acheter des «droits de polluer» à d'autres entreprises pour lesquelles la lutte est moins coûteuse; les premières pourront dès lors émettre des quantités supérieures à la norme et les secondes émettront des quantités inférieures, de sorte que la norme ne soit globalement pas dépassée. Cet appel aux mécanismes du marché permet de réduire le coût total des mesures de lutte).

CONT

Perhaps a more orderly and sustained global rebalancing is likely to be synchronous with the continued growth and development of more countries in the world. The developing world is now home to the world's youngest workers and consumers, the main source for raw materials and commodities for manufacturing, and the main hub for many of the world's international value chains. ’Global rebalancing’ in this sense is also a product of a more balanced economic development process – one which brings in more countries(and larger segments of their respective populations) into higher standards of living.

Luminance of equally bright colors — [Recent] studies ... show that, for colors of equal brightness, saturated colors require less luminance than desaturated ones.

CONT

Colour has three main characteristics : hue(red, green, blue, etc.), value(how light or dark it is), and intensity(how bright or dull it is).... Intensity describes the purity or strength of a colour. Bright colours... are often associated with positive energy and heightened emotions. Dull colours... create a sedate or serious mood.

Subject field(s)
  • Acoustics (Physics)
  • Building Insulation and Acoustical Design
CONT

The absorption coefficient of a material is ideally the fraction of the randomly incident sound power which is absorbed, or otherwise not reflected. It can be determined in two main ways, and there are often variations in the results depending upon the method of measurement chosen. It is standard practice to measure the coefficient at the preferred octave frequencies over the range of at least 125 Hz-4 kHz. For the purposes of architectural design, the Sabine coefficient(calculated from reverberation chamber measurement) is preferred. Interestingly, some absorbent materials are found to have a Sabine coefficient in excess of unity at higher frequencies. This is due to edge effects and, when this occurs, the value can be taken as 1. 0.

OBS

Reverberation Time. This formula was developed by W.C. Sabin in the late 19th century. The Sabin unit is a measurement of absorption in the range 0 to 1, an absorption coefficient of 0 indicates a material that reflects sound totally, and a coefficient of 1, a material that adsorbs sound totally.

OBS

The name "Sabin" (written without an "e") is probably misspelled.

CONT

L'absorption à une fréquence déterminée est définie par le facteur ou coefficient d'absorption qui est le rapport de l'énergie sonore absorbée par une surface S du matériau à l'énergie qui vient la frapper. Il ne faut pas confondre ce coefficient d'absorption avec le coefficient de Sabine obtenu par des mesures d'absorption faites en salles réverbérantes.

Le terme «coefficient de Sabine» est déconseillé.

Subject field(s)
  • Working Practices and Conditions
CONT

In a considerable number of civilizations, an insolvent debtor either became his creditor's slave or could be sold by the latter to a third person. Usually the condition arose from a pledge by a debtor of his personal services, or those of a person under his control, as security for a loan. The main feature of such an arrangement is that the value of services furnished is not applied toward the liquidation of the debt. Consequently the individual pledged has practically no hope ever to escape his servile condition.

The term "bonded labor" was confirmed as a synonym by the Office of International Affairs, Labour Canada.
