The [questionnaire] mainly focuses on the firm's reasons for cancelling job vacancies.... a first question asks if the firm has interrupted the search of new workers without finding a suitable candidate...

The following reasons have been suggested : the firm met difficulties in finding suitable candidates; the firm exaggerated its need for new workers; the general economic situation changed; the economic situation of the firm worsened[, ] and there was a reduction of the annual budget for hiring new workers; and job vacancies were filled by means of reorganization using internal employees. As... mentioned, firms were also asked to specify other possible reasons for withdrawing job vacancies from the labour market.

CONT

The observation of Lord Wright, of Denning, L. J., and of the judges of the Supreme Court in the U. S.

If the answer to that question is "yes", then the contract is a contract for services. If the answer is "no" then the contract is a contract of service.

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
CONT

Mr. Dodge is experienced with an environmental forensics technique called chemical fingerprinting. He has used this technique to identify potentially responsible sources of dioxins at a multi-party Superfund site and the potential sources of dioxins and PCBs impacting a Venice Lagoon in Italy.

CONT

Can these PCB analyses be used for anything other than just describing the environmental situation in the area where the samples were taken? Is it possible to find out who produced the environmental toxin? Is there a "fingerprint" at the pollution "crime scenes" along the coast? The answer to all these questions was an emphatic yes. The idea behind the so-called "chemical fingerprinting" is simple : PCB is not an individual substance but a collective term for 209 different environmental toxins. PCB manufacturers produced a variety of PCB blends. Konieczny's method is just as simple if we know the composition of the blends, we can also locate them today.

CONT

Chemical Fingerprinting in the Environment. ... Problem: Determine if the origin of chemicals found at field sites can be traced to specific chemical sources/processes. Project Activity Scope ... Interaction mechanisms through Measurement & Analysis System Applications. PNNL Solution: Evaluated chemicals present at site. Used chemical database to estimate chemical stability & reactions at site. Analyzed co-present chemicals to project back-in-time to identify & estimate source contributions. Successfully performed analysis at several waste sites.

CONT

[...] la maîtrise des dépôts moléculaires vers des zones prédéfinies d'une surface est un enjeu important si l'on envisage de bâtir des dispositifs électroniques. L'équipe «Systèmes Moléculaires Organisés» fait ainsi appel aux ressources conjuguées de la lithographie électronique classique et de la lithographie «douce» (technique d'empreinte chimique) pour forcer l'adsorption sélective de vésicules ou de nanotubes de carbone et contrôler les dépôts moléculaires.

CONT

Les sédiments d'un lac où les saumons étaient abondants contenaient dix fois plus de BPC que les sédiments d'un lac voisin sans saumons. La détermination de l'empreinte chimique du type de BPC identifie clairement les poissons comme la source des BPC contenus dans les sédiments.

OBS

Les différentes techniques scientifiques utilisées dans les laboratoires de sciences légales sont devenues des outils indispensables pour l'établissement de la preuve et de la vérité. L'empreinte chimique est aussi fiable pour l'identification et la confirmation de la présence d'une substance que l'est une empreinte digitale pour l'identification d'un suspect.

OBS

Le spectre du carbone peut [...] servir d'empreinte chimique dans l'analyse microscopique de composés polymères, de grande importance pour l'industrie chimique.
