Outlook. Risks and concerns.
Outlook. It is with great pleasure that the Swiss Academy of Sci- ences makes available to interested stakeholders this example of an ABS agreement with contractual clauses. It is a tool to actively support the implementation of ABS regulations and focuses on academic non-com- mercial research. The proposed Agreement still needs to prove its applicability to real ABS situations. Accord- ingly, it should be considered as a draft that needs to be adapted to the final version of the CBD ABS proto- col and which will need improvement over time. Sug- gestions and feedback by both providers and users are most welcome. At the Swiss Academy of Sciences we firmly believe that non-commercial public good research is essential to achieve the first two goals of the CBD, the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. Moreover it generates (non-monetary) benefits that contribute to education, advancement of science and technology transfer. The Swiss Academy of Sciences advocates research in a mutually trustful atmosphere and encour- ages scientists to conduct their research in accordance with existing international codes and standards.

Outlook. With the limits of siliconbased storage devices already in sight, attention has focused on alternative approaches to information storage. As we have described in this Review, DNAbased storage may become an interesting alternative for the current technologies, particularly in terms of storage density. Much progress has been made with regard to error protection mechanisms without much detriment to storage density. A major disad vantage of DNA compared with silicon is the much lower reading speed, which is especially problematic for use in randomaccess memory applications when only a small part of the data is desired. This means that for now, DNA is only applicable for archiving and longterm data storage purposes. A major problem still to be overcome is the current cost of DNA synthesis compared with the costs of siliconbased storage facil ities. However, if we assume a decline in costs similar to that seen for siliconbased storage media (at least partly attributable to improvements in DNA tech nology), it seems likely that it will not be long before DNAbased storage is the standard for longterm data xxxxxxx00,172,173. This is certainly the case when the costs of maintenance and storage are taken into account, which are far smaller for DNAbased storage systems than for the siliconbased systems in current data cen tres. Further cost reductions might already be achieved quite rapidly by using quicker but less reliable synthe sis protocols that require less time and reagents. Lower reliability would result in less valid DNA strands, but as the DNA fountain code has already shown, this can be compensated for by using robust and highly flexible coding strategies34. the nottoodistant future.

Outlook. 1. Domain adaptation consists of two different tasks, and provides two productivity factors: One is to find translations for a given term, the second one is to annotate the term candidates for import and use in the MT system.
Outlook. The ceasefire agreement is likely to hold in the 5-year outlook. The main reason for this is that Armenia, regardless of the level of political instability, will be unable to launch a counteroffensive in Nagorno-Karabakh given that Russia, its only viable strategic ally, will be ensuring security there and would therefore be highly unlikely to sanction such an action.
Outlook. The impact of the joint venture dissolution on the operating results of the co-parent companies has not been determined. Further announcements will be made immediately if it is clear that there will be a material impact on business result of each of the companies. Company name Hitachi, Ltd. Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.

Outlook. There is an expectation of Bumper raw jute crop which will arrive in the market from July/Aug onwards because the farmers have gone for higher acreage of jute cultivation this year due to record high prices realised by them for the previous crop & with expected above normal monsoon, Government procurement Agencies have also projected higher B Twill bags requirements. Considering the above factors it is hoped that performance of Jute Industry including your Company may be better this year, barring unforeseen situation. Your Company after having sold its Anglo India Jute (Middle Mill) located at Jagatdal, Dist. 24 Parganas (North), West Bengal w.e.f 01.05.2016 is now planning to focus more and more on value added products and also ramping up production at its other Units. Since AIJM – Middle Mill was highly labour intensive having very low productivity, manufacturing mostly conventional products, its hiving off should result in overall improvement in the operating performance of the Company. Sales turnover may be lower initially but may gradually increase with the Company’s efforts in enhancing production at other Units in a phased manner. Efforts are continuing to resume operations at Wellington Jute Mill and other Units located at Rishra, Dist- Hooghly, West Bengal which are currently under temporary suspension of work due to acute shortage of raw jute and low productivity. Resumption of operations at these Units also depends upon the outcome of negotiations underway with the Workers Unions to benchmark productivity levels at these Units to Industry standards which at present is very poor when compared with Industry norms.
Outlook. 2020 is the year in which the business is being reset to enable it to operate as a true luxury company. This process, which involves reducing core wholesales to rebalance supply to demand and has a negative impact on results through the reset period, is necessary to improve the long-term performance of the Company • The uncertainty surrounding the duration and impact of Covid-19 on the global economy continues. Although there were signs of recovery in some markets in Q3, trading remains challenging in many markets with certain countries re-imposing restrictions and lockdown measures.
Outlook. This company split operation will have minimal impact on MHI’s business performance, both consolidated and non-consolidated.
Outlook. We continue to make progress toward the disposition of the Fund's properties during the next two years. Some of you have asked why we are beginning to sell now, just as the market has been exhibiting signs of strengthening. Our primary goal is to take advantage of rising property values as the Fund nears the end of its planned lifespan. As real estate markets have been improving during the past few years, we have used the opportunity to capture higher prices for investors. As usually happens in improving markets, the turnaround in real estate is broadly encouraging an increasing supply of new properties, which could eventually lead to an oversupply and softer prices down the road. This is normal as the real estate cycle runs its course. While we do not expect a recession in either real estate or the general economy to emerge in the near future, the country's economic expansion is almost six years old and is approaching an advanced stage, by historical measures. It is possible that by selling Fund properties during the next few years, we might miss some further advances in real estate values. However, with prices currently rising due to strong tenant and investor demand, supply growing in many markets, and the Fund nearing the end of its planned lifespan, we believe it is prudent to sell into that strength while prices are on the upswing.
