Conclusions. Based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable Treasury Department regulations in effect as of the date hereof, current published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service contained in revenue rulings and procedures, and judicial decisions, and upon the assumptions and representations referred to herein and the documents provided to us by you (including the Proxy Statement and the Reorganization Agreement), it is our opinion for Federal income tax purposes that:
Conclusions. Stanxxx xxxcluded that, based upon and subject to its analysis, assumptions, limitations and qualifications cited in its opinion, and as of the date of the fairness opinion, the merger value to be paid in cash for the limited partner interests in connection with the mergers is fair from a financial point of view to the limited partner of each respective partnership. Compensation and Material Relationships. Stanxxx xxx been paid a fee of $200,000 in connection with the rendering of the fairness opinion. Such fee was not conditioned on Stanxxx'x xxxdings and is payable whether or not the mergers are consummated. In addition, Stanxxx xxxl be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, and will be indemnified against certain liabilities including certain liabilities under the securities laws. During the past two years, the partnerships had engaged Stanxxx xx render financial advisory services in connection with proposed transactions which were withdrawn and never consummated. In connection with such assignments Stanxxx xxx paid fees aggregating $125,000. ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTIONS TO THE MERGERS We considered the following alternative types of transactions before selecting the merger transaction described in this document. As discussed below, we believe that the mergers are the best available alternative for the partnerships to maximize the value of the partnerships' property interests.
Conclusions. In a population with prior positive TSTs, TST was more variable than QFT-GIT when pairs of each test were performed simultaneously. TSTs may trigger conversion of subsequent TST and QFT-GIT.

Conclusions. 1. There is no basis for finding that the amendment to the previously approved agreement discriminates against any telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement.

Conclusions. Following the instructions above and providing accurate and readable text, tables, figures, and citations will help to make your report useful to readers. Scientists may read your report, as well as water planners, utility providers, and interested citizens. If your report successfully conveys accurate scientific information and explanations to these readers, we can help to create more informed decisions about the use, development, and management of water in the state.
Conclusions. The aim of our work in the context of the Ontogrid project is to develop semantic web services that can cooperate, negotiate, reach agreements and self-organise in order to effectively and correctly solve overall problems [6]. Having analysed exist- ing proposals for enabling negotiation between web services, we have in particular found the OGSI WS-Agreement model to be limited and not expressive enough for profitable xxxxx- tic web service negotiation. Thus, in this paper we show our specification of negotiation actions and protocols to enable in- teraction between web services and we give an overview of our model for strategic decision making. Future work includes re- fining and implementing our specifications, for the deployment of semantic web services with negotiation capabilities. References [1] X. Xxxxxxxx, X. Xxxxxxxxxx, A.

Conclusions. In conclusion, we have developed a green version of organo- phosphorus-catalysed amide bond formation between unacti- vated aromatic carboxylic acids and amines. The commercially available pre-catalyst 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-phospholene oxide 4 is reduced in situ by inexpensive and environmentally benign poly(methylhydrosiloxane) and bis( p-nitrophenyl) phosphate. With our newly developed method a wide variety of secondary and tertiary amides could be synthesised in very good to excel- lent yields. It is envisioned that organophosphorus catalysis will be a subject of extensive investigations in the upcoming years. Moreover, we believe that poly(methylhydrosiloxane) will find practical applications in several other common reactions in organic chemistry. Experimental A Radleys tube equipped with a magnetic stirbar was charged with carboxylic acid (0.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), phosphine oxide 4 (0.075 mmol or 0.125 mmol; 0.15 or 0.25 equiv.), and Published on 17 July 2017. Downloaded by Radboud University Nijmegen on 3/8/2019 8:23:31 AM. bis( p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (0.025 mmol, 0.05 equiv.). Subsequently toluene (2.5 mL, 0.2 M) was added, and to the formed suspension were added benzylamine (0.65 mmol, 1.3 equiv.), CCl4 (1.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv.), and poly(methyl- hydrosiloxane) (Mw 2450 Da, 0.12 mmol, 9 Si–H equiv.). The reaction was stirred at 110 °C for 20 hours. After cooling to room temperature, toluene was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was resuspended in ethyl acetate (20 mL). The organic phase was washed with sat. aqueous NaHCO3 (2 × 20 mL), brine (1 × 20 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated. The crude product was puri- fied by silica column chromatography (ethyl acetate and n-heptane) to afford the desired amide. Conflict of interest There are no conflicts of interest to declare.
