Increased Access Sample Clauses

Increased Access. Increased access to Xxxxxxx Island is expected to lead to increased settlement and development along the western slope of the island. The effects of watershed development or suburbanization on streams are well documented (Xxxxxxx, 1968; Hammer, 1972; Xxxxxx, 1975; Booth, 1991) and would be of concern for crossing alternatives and road systems that would increase development in the Government Creek and Xxxxx Creek drainages. Suburbanization is often measured by the proportion of basin area covered by impervious surfaces. Although impervious surfaces themselves do not generate pollution, they are the major contributor to changes in the hydrologic regime that drive many of the physical changes affecting urban streams (May, 1998). In addition to increasing area of impervious surface in the basin and the resulting stormwater runoff, development of watershed areas can also affect watershed drainage density (mile of stream length per square mile of basin area) when grading, landscaping, and associated infrastructure development result in straightening of stream channels. Chemical water quality of urban streams is generally not substantially degraded at low impervious levels, but might become a more important factor in streams draining highly urbanized watersheds (May, 1998; Xxxx et al., 1995; Xxxxxxxxx et al., 1993). Streambed quality can be degraded by the deposition of fine sediment and by the streambed instability due to high flows. Basin development has the potential to cause both of these (May, 1998). Increases in fine sediments decrease the intragravel dissolved oxygen (IGDO) levels. Low IGDO is disastrous to salmonid incubation habitat (Xxxxx, 1972, 1975). In addition, suburbanization contributes to the degradation of the riparian zone. Degraded riparian conditions influence streambank stability and large woody debris recruitment. Without riparian-zone protection, urbanization degrades the condition of riparian zones, and therefore contributes to streambank instability and loss of large woody debris in the stream (May, 1998). In-stream habitat conditions have a substantial influence on in-stream biota. Changes of riparian-zone condition and streambed quality, including fine- sediment content and streambed stability, affect the benthic macroinvertebrate community (May, 1998). As urbanization increases and riparian-zone integrity decreases, the biotic integrity of the stream decreases as well (May, 1998). Additionally, the construction of roads, bridges, and...

Increased Access. Activity 1: Revise recruitment and admissions practices to attract prospective students to technical degree programs Honduras and Guatemala: The Program designed and delivered a training to all six partner universities in Honduras and Guatemala on how to develop an effective outreach and recruitment strategy for technical degree programs. In Honduras 25 representatives from partner universities attended the trainings, including representatives from marketing departments, communications teams, and admissions and marketing teams, as well as faculty who are involved or interested in being involved in this university process. The training began by discussing the current state of university recruitment for technical degree programs and the possible barriers that could interfere with the design and implementation of increased outreach and recruitment activities. A few of those barriers include, (1) limited staff and faculty available for student recruitment, (2) little to no funding for recruitment activities, and (3) uncoordinated internal processes that limit or prevent the university from developing and executing a successful outreach and recruitment strategy. University representatives then explored best practices in outreach and recruitment for disadvantaged youth and learned a step by step approach to developing an effective outreach and recruitment strategy to more effectively reach potential students for their programs. Universities received tools and templates, including a data collection instrument to collect prospective student data and conduct follow up with prospects for the technical degree application process, as well as templates to build an annual outreach and recruitment plan following a multi-channel approach and a recruitment budget.
Increased Access. Activity 1: Review recruitment practices, admissions protocols, and support services (ICA) Honduras: The Program held a work session with staff from UCENM to deepen and strengthen existing processes for supporting the successful completion of degree programs at the institution. The Program found that documented processes exist for supporting and tracking student progress, but that these processes can be strengthened to better identify students at risk of dropping out and supports to help them stay enrolled. This work session was not held at CEUTEC this quarter.

(c) Any Lender that accepts an offer to it by the Company to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement 44 40 with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit O (a "Commitment Increase Supplement"), whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender. (d) The effectiveness of any New Lender Supplement or Commitment Increase Supplement shall be contingent upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such corporate resolutions of the Borrowers and legal opinions of counsel to the Borrowers as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (e) If any bank or financial institution becomes a New Lender pursuant to Section 2.24(b) or any Lender's Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.24(c), additional Revolving Credit Advances made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the "Re-Allocation Date") shall be made pro rata based on the Commitment Percentages in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such new Lender and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective Commitments), and continuations of Eurodollar Rate Advances outstanding on such Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Eurodollar Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the making of new Eurodollar Rate Advances pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Base Rate Advances, the Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of Base Rate Advances so that, after giving effect thereto, the Base Rate Advances outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances, such Eurodollar Rate Advances shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the applicable Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Eurodollar Rate Advances will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Eurodollar Rate Advances pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding.
