Subject field(s)
  • Trucking (Road Transport)
  • Freight Service (Rail Transport)
CONT

The results showed that railroads had the most market power over long, cross-country moves. However, there were exceptions. Unlike the grain freight market, for frozen freight, the length of haul was less of a determining factor behind truck and rail competition. Across all haul distances, rail demand for frozen products, on average, was more sensitive to changes in rail rates than frozen truck demand was to changes in truck rates. As a result, rail carriers are less likely to hold substantial market power in the frozen freight markets. For frozen freight, trucks compete with rail for shipments, even over long distances. This effect is likely due to frozen freight's time sensitivity and lower volumes(than grain). These requirements of frozen freight make it more suitable than grain for long-haul trucking.

CONT

Lorsque les débats abordent la question de la concurrence, il s'agit exclusivement d'une concurrence intermodale. La concurrence entre la route et le rail est considérée comme faussée en faveur de la première. En effet, la construction du réseau routier a été prise en charge directement par l'État, alors que celle du réseau ferroviaire l'a été par les grandes compagnies puis la SNCF [Société nationale des chemins de fer français], se traduisant par une importante dette dont la charge pèse sur les finances du futur établissement public à caractère industriel et commercial [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Banking
DEF

Depository financial institution whose primary function is promoting personal savings(thrift) and home ownership through mortgage lending. Thrift institutions hold most of their assets in mortgages and collect most of their deposits from consumers. Savings and Loan Associations, Savings Banks, and Credit Unions are all considered thrift institutions. Thrift institutions, at one time restricted to mortgage lending, have gained parity with commercial banks over the last 20 years and many thrifts offer the same range of nonmortgage credit services-credit cards, auto loans, home equity loans, and business loans-available from commercial banks.

  • Audio Technology

CONT

Audio noise gate ... Eliminates the signal if its runs amplitude falls below a specified threshold. A dely buffer is incorporated to give the noise - gate a "look-ahead" capability, improving its effectiveness in some situations.

CONT

The new Noise Gate is everything a pro sound designer could wish for. Besides standard parameters like Threshold, Attack, and Release, the Hold time and Hysteresis(distance between open and close threshold) parameters will give you complete control over any signal. Thanks to the filters in the monitorable sidechain, you can even split heavily cross talking toms. The Lookahead control should end the debate between "analog vs. digital". This is a superior tool that no sound designer will want to live without...

It is also assumed in this model that the annual failure rate for one plant is constant over time. This may not hold if either(1) failure rates increase because of wear and tear, or(2) failure rates decrease because of interim inspections and more stringent regulations. Probabilities of disaster would increase in the first case and decrease in the second case.

OBS

failure: Inability of a structure, system or component to function within acceptance criteria.

CONT

L'évaluation de ces différentes mesures de sûreté de fonctionnement fait appel au calcul des probabilités, les défaillances survenant de façon aléatoire. Sans rentrer dans le détail, on retiendra que c'est la loi exponentielle qui est la plus fréquemment utilisée en fiabilité, car elle se prête bien aux calculs; cela conduit à considérer que le taux de défaillance est une constante, hypothèse réaliste ou du moins acceptable, dans la plupart des cas.

CONT

[...] A slowdown in the normal flow of grain to a terminal may cause a shortage in supply available for immediate delivery. The holders of short futures positions in the near contracts would be unable to fulfill their commitments to deliver and would need to buy back their futures contracts in order to erase their commitment. At the same time, those who had bought futures contracts, in order to protect the price of a sale, would tend to hold onto the position to ensure that they would receive supplies. To attract sellers to take their positions, the shorts may have to bid for the nearby contracts until they reached a premium over the further contracts, thus creating an inverted market.

[...] Un ralentissement du mouvement normal du grain vers un silo portuaire peut causer une insuffisance de disponibilités pour livraison immédiate. Les acheteurs nets sur le rapproché ne pourront pas remplir leurs engagements de livraison et devront racheter leurs contrats à terme pour s'en libérer. Parallèlement, ceux qui avaient acheté des contrats à terme pour protéger le prix d'une vente pourraient avoir tendance à retenir leurs positions pour s'assurer de recevoir leurs approvisionnements. En vue d'attirer les vendeurs à prendre leurs positions, les acheteurs nets devront renchérir sur le rapproché jusqu'au point où ces contrats vont être à prime par rapport à l'éloigné, créant ainsi un marché inversé.
