The CONSUMERS’ CHOICE AWARD™ is an initiative of CONSUMERS’ CHOICE INSTITUTE(U. S. A.) and CONSUMERS’ CHOICE INSTITUTE(CANADA), which has retained a leading independent research firm to conduct a survey in major U. S. and Canadian cities. It is unique in North America, as the winners are determined by consumers and not by a panel of judges. It covers a broad range of categories of interest to the public and to the business community.

Il présente un large éventail de catégories d'affaires offrant un intérêt tant pour le public que pour les gens d'affaires. Son objectif est d'identifier publiquement les établissements que les consommateurs ont désignés comme étant les meilleurs.

As a Web merchant, you will pay separate merchant-bank account charges. Expect to pay setup fees of up to $200, a monthly statement fee(typically $10), a per-transaction fee(around 30 cents), and a discount rate ranging from 1% to 4% of each sale. The latter is the interest the card company charges for giving you the money up front before it debits the customer's account. A discount rate(determined by your credit history) of less than 2. 7% is considered good. Reserve fees-a portion of sales retained to cover refunds-can be as large as 15%. The bank can hold reserves for anywhere from several weeks to six months. 1, record 4, English, - reserve%20fees

The use of growing cells in suspension as biocatalysts is generally termed fermentation. Such processes may be distinguished as batch, fed batch or continuous depending on the kinetic relationship between addition of substrate and harvesting of product. Non-growing systems include the use of suspensions, cells retained within a semipermeable membrane, or cells immobilized in or on a solid support. Such immobilized cells may be used in a fixed bed, expanded bed, fluid bed or fully mixed system.... Although many so-called fermentation reactions are carried out under aerobic conditions, these are of little interest in the present context since, when oxygen is used as the terminal electron acceptor, the production of low molecular weight metabolites of the type required is restricted and a high proportion of the carbon in the feedstock is converted into cell biomass. 1, record 7, English, - cell%20biomass
