... economic data to date for early 2015 suggest that real GDP [gross domestic product] growth in the first quarter is likely to be weaker than expected, or even flat.

The plural form "data," which is more commonly used than the singular form "datum," may be perceived as a collective noun, which takes a singular verb. However, "data" takes a plural verb if attention is being focused on each individual piece of data (e.g. The data suggest growth will be weak.).

The IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] finalized its Third Assessment Report in early 2001. The report concluded that the evidence for humanity's influence on the global climate is now stronger than ever before, and it presented the most detailed picture to date of how global warming will affect various regions. It also confirmed that many cost-effective solutions to rising greenhouse gas emissions are available today; in many cases, however, governments will need to address various institutional, behavioral and other barriers before these solutions can realize their potential.

Il dressait aussi le tableau le plus détaillé à ce jour des effets du réchauffement sur différentes régions du globe. Il a par ailleurs confirmé qu'il existait à l'heure actuelle de nombreuses solutions présentant un bon rapport coût-efficacité pour réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Les autorités devront toutefois dans de nombreux cas surmonter divers obstacles institutionnels, comportementaux et autres avant que ces solutions puissent réaliser pleinement leur potentiel.

A provisional patent application ("PPA") is an easier and cheaper way for an inventor to file a first patent for an invention than a traditional patent filing.

The provisional application provides the means to establish an early effective filing date in a patent application and permits the term.

  • Environmental Law
  • Special-Language Phraseology
CONT

Due to the diverse nature of what constitutes "low regulatory concern", there has always been difficulty in defining a single category or set of guidelines that readily capture the scope of possible reforms. The approach to date has been to identify case-by-case scenarios, which are then used to define or constitute a set of categories under the umbrella of "low regulatory concern" such as polymers of low concern(PLC) or early introduction permits for chemicals not classified as hazardous.... a single definition of LRCC [low regulatory concern chemicals] is not possible except in the most generic sense : Chemicals could qualify for reduced regulatory input on the basis of a definition of low risk or where regulatory input from elsewhere is sufficient to meet Australian requirements.

Ex-works or ex-store contracts... can hardly be considered as export sales at all, since it is the buyer's duty to take delivery at the works or store in question, and what he does with them after that is entirely his own affair. The property and risk will, in the absence of any contrary indication, pass when the goods are delivered in most contracts of this kind, since they are almost invariably sales of unascertained goods and it is unlikely that there will be any appropriation(exception perhaps where provision is made for inspection at an early date) prior to delivery.

Metal dog tags bearing a soldier's name, rank and serial number for identification in case of death date to the early part of the century, when battles were still being fought with bullets and bayonets. But combatants in today's wars are not just killed, they are sometimes obliterated, dog tags and all. So the U. S. Army began collecting blood and tissue samples from new recruits, part of an ambitious "genetic dog tag" program that will eventually allow pathologists to identify the smallest tissue specimens by cross-matching to genetic samples stored on file.
