The said residence permit is also used in place of a work permit, is given for a time period of six months and is extended for equal time periods until the issuing of an irrevocable court decision its granting does not require payment of a fiscal stamp.

The narrow beam width of a normal parabolic satellite antenna means it can only receive signals from a single satellite at a time.

However, the complexity of the environment and the new tasks did not appear to result in a commensurate revision of UNMO's role and operational modalities.

While there was no hierarchy as such between sources of international law, general international law recognized that certain norms have a peremptory character.

This implies a decrease of 0.5 Gt CO2 eq by 2015, or as much as 40 per cent.

The Renewables 2004 conference generated about 3,500 tonnes of GHG (1.44 tonnes CO2 equivalent participant).

The 10 day WSSD meeting generated about 290,000 tonnes of CO2 (6.6 tonnes CO2 equivalent participant).

It points out that after a detailed examination of all the facts and available evidence, the Tribunal concluded unequivocally that the complainant lacked credibility and that his evidence was fabricated.

Draft article 3 might prove useful if the determination, pursuant to article 4, whether a treaty was susceptible to termination or suspension in the event of an armed conflict was inconclusive.

The ISAAC uses a parabolic trough solar collector and a compact and efficient design to produce ice with no fuel or electric input, and with no moving parts.

Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and didn't kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.

The AI people said, well, the thing in the box is a programmable computer because that's equivalent to a brain, and we'll feed it some inputs and we'll get it to do something, have some behavior.

So, very interesting parallels between the biological and the engineering worlds. And interestingly, this turns out the stomatopod saddle turns out to be the first described biological hyperbolic paraboloid spring.

Any definitive solution to the persistent violations of human rights in Cyprus would have to include a termination of the artificial partition of the island, which had been imposed along ethnic lines and in full contradiction of the island's traditionally multi ethnic character and of the will of the Cypriot people.

Total energy consumed at all power plants for the generation of electricity was 4,398,768 ktoe (kilo ton of oil equivalent) which was 36 of the total for primary energy sources (TPES) of 2008.

The barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel (42 U.S. gallons or 158.9873 litres) of crude oil.

The amount supplied to the final consumer was 1,445,285 ktoe (16,430 TWh) which was 33 of the total energy consumed at power plants and heat and power co generation (CHP) plants.

The downlinked satellite signal, quite weak after traveling the great distance (see inverse square law), is collected with a parabolic receiving dish, which reflects the weak signal to the dish's focal point.

You can think of this nagging inner voice as sort of the brain's equivalent of the Catholic Church, if you're an Austrian like me, or the super ego, if you're Freudian, or your mother, if you're Jewish.

Two IEA climate policy scenarios show how we could stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases at 550 or 450 parts per million of CO2 equivalent.

The stem needs not to be identical to the morphological root of the word it is usually sufficient that related words map to the same stem, even if this stem is not in itself a valid root.
