Damping Sample Clauses

Damping. 1. If one of the Contracting Parties considers that dumping within the meaning of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is taking place, it may take appropriate measures against that practice in accordance with Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 under the conditions and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of this Agreement. 2. If one of the Contracting Parties ascertains the incidence of dumping or subventions in the imports from the other Contracting Party, the other Contracting Party has to be notified before the decision t o initiate the procedure is taken. 3. Prior to final introduction of antidumping measures or compensation the Contracting Parties shall endevour t o reach appropriate and fair agreement.
Damping. For all building codes there is an established convention that the “standard” damping factor is 5 % of critical damping (ξ = 0.05, if expressed as a proportion of critical damping). There are many circumstances under which it is necessary to consider other levels of damping, particularly in the case of base isolated buildings or structures with passive energy dissipation devices. Similarly, the use of capacity spectrum and direct-displacement based loss estimation methodologies require a means of modifying the seismic input to different levels of damping. The constraint of elastic response spectra for different levels of damping can be undertaken in different ways. Several empirical ground motion prediction models are available that give spectral ordinates of acceleration or displacement for different levels of damping (Xxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2007b; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2008). Direct calculation of the damped acceleration and displacement from the GMPE has a greater degree of accuracy for damping factors for which the ordinates are given. This has important uses for design of higher damped structures. Equivalent linearization procedures, however, require iterative calculation of the effective period and equivalent viscous damping of the structure. Damping at values other than those given in the GMPEs are needed. The most common approach to address this is to calculate the spectrum for the new damping level using a damping modification factor (ε). The damping modification factor may be determined using analytical equations given in existing building codes or published literature. The determination of ε in EN1998-1 and other codes is the focus of this section. Also introduced are other relations to determine ε that have been developed by various authors.

  • Bumping (a) Displaced employees can elect to bump to a position in line with seniority (subject to 2(b) below), provided the displaced employee has the capabilities and qualifications to perform the duties of the selected position. (b) Displaced employees will choose a position to bump into by designating: (i) the FTE; (ii) the unit/xxxx/program (program for community nurses only); and (iii) the shift pattern. Shift patterns are identified as days/evenings; days/nights; evenings/nights; days; nights; or evenings. They will then bump to the position held by the junior employee with the designated FTE, shift pattern and unit/xxxx/program (program for community nurses only). Employees who are bumped will be served displacement notice and treated in accordance with the provisions of Article 19.01(B). (c) Worksite Bumping Displaced employees will review their bumping options in their own worksite first and follow the bumping procedures as listed in (a)-(b) above. (d) Bumping outside of the worksite where applicable (i) Should a displaced employee not be able to bump into a position that is comparable, and they do not volunteer to bump into a non-comparable position, they will be deemed to have exhausted their bumping options at the worksite and may exercise their bumping rights, as above, at other Employer worksites. (ii) A comparable position will be defined as a position that is: (a) within a field of practice sharing a common clinical focus (e.g.: medical, surgical, extended care, intensive care, psychiatric care, etc.) with the employee’s pre-displacement field of practice; (b) +/- 0.2 FTE of the employee’s pre-displacement FTE; and (c) does not require the employee to change their status.

C8.64 – DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION CERTIFICATION (3/18). Pursuant to 2 CFR 180 and 2 CFR 417, Purchaser shall certify and obtain certifications from its Subcontractors regarding debarment, suspension, ineligibility, and voluntary exclusion, including additional Subcontractors obtained after award of this contract. “Subcontractors” are participants in lower tier covered transactions. Purchaser may rely upon a certification of a prospective Subcontractor that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR 9.4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participating in covered transactions or timber sales, unless Purchaser knows that the certification is erroneous. Purchaser shall keep the certifications of its Subcontractors on file until timber sale Termination Date and any extensions thereof, and will provide a copy at the written request of Contracting Officer. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this Subsection. The knowledge and information of Purchaser is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. If Purchaser knowingly enters into a timber sale transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in covered transactions or timber sales, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, Forest Service may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment. Contracting Officer shall provide a copy of Forms AD-1047 Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension and Other Responsibility Matters – Primary Covered Transactions and AD-1048 Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion – Lower Tier Covered Transactions to the Purchaser.

This work is typically performed by Employees engaged within CW1, CW2 or CW3 classifications. When other Employees are undertaking productive work in an area or areas not so affected then dewatering will only attract single time rates. (b) Where a part of a site is affected by surface water following a period of rain, thus rendering some areas unsafe for productive work, consistent with the Employer’s obligations under the OH&S Act, appropriate Employees shall assist in the tidying up of their own work site or area if it is so affected. Where required, appropriate Employees will be provided with the appropriate PPE. Such work to be paid at single time rates. Productive work will continue in areas not so affected. (c) To avoid any confusion any ‘dewatering’ time which prevents an Employee from being engaged in their normal productive work is not included in any calculation for the purposes of determining whether an Employee is entitled to go home due to wet weather (refer clauses 32.4 and 32.5)
