An investigation of the production of N2 gas through anammox is conducted in sediment slurries in situ NO(sub 2)(super -) concentrations in the presence and absence of NO(sub 3)(super -). The behavior of anammox is explored by use of a simple anammox-denitrification model, and the concept of a biphasic system for anammox in estuarine sediments is proposed.

Subjects

Abstract

Changes in the US property market during the early 1990 resulted in the development of the collateralized mortgage-backed security as a new financing instrument. Human nature is still the same; it does not matter which financing instrument is used. Servicer liability should be introduced at the simple negligence rather than the gross negligence level.

17. Daily life and forms of 'communitas' in a personal care home for elders

Subjects

Abstract

This study examined daily life in a personal care home using anthropological theories of liminality and communitas associated with rites of passage. Purposes of this article are to (1) describe daily life in terms of its setting, activities, and social system (elements of normative communitas) and (2) examine cultural beliefs and values that may foster ideological and existential communitas. Ethnographic methods included participant observations and semistructured interviews. Ongoing data analysis and interpretation were conducted by a five-member research team. Factors that foster social cohesion include a small-scale residential environment, a familiar round of activity routines, a social system with flexible roles of residents and staff, and a culture in which mutual support of persons with varying capabilities is valued. Some of these qualities, for which residents and staff used the metaphors of home and family, might be purposely cultivated in other residential settings for elders.

21. Selling problem assets to savvy investors can strengthen your bank and its stock

Abstract

The banking industry can benefit from selling problem assets to savvy investors. Banks that effectively manage their bad assets strengthen the value of their stocks, since these banks usually will not be the ones forced to increase their loan-loss reserves. Banks that effectively manage their bad debts also are more likely to have the capital they need to make more acquisitions., One of the prime lessons from banks' strong stock-market performance in the past year may be that the marketplace rewards the shift of problem assets from regulated to unregulated entities.
