The increasing necessity for the inclusion of process and production methods (PPMs) into the current GATT regime as a safeguard/tool for environmental sustainability
… this thesis is to advocate for the inclusion of PPMs into the current GATT regime for the attainment of environmental sustainability. The issue of PPMs in international trade has been problematic for environmentalists since the first Tuna-Dolphin panel held that distinctions between products …

Non-product related environmental process and production methods (NPR-PPMs): a view from international trade law and international environmental governance
… issues in the use of Environmental NPR-PPMs, particularly those aiming to promote sustainable practices or to protect natural resources. NPR-PPMs have traditionally been thought of as being incompatible with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO). However, the issue remains …

The lived experience of nurse practitioners practicing within a professional practice model: A phenomenological study
Professional Practice Models (PPMs) are the gold standard for nursing practice in organizations committed to nursing excellence and quality patient outcomes. The framework for guiding nurses in their practice consists of a system of structure and processes supporting the environment of care. PPMs …

Characterization and modeling of nanocomposite thermoelectric materials system bismuth antimony telluride ((Biy̳Sb1̳-̳y̳)2̳Te3̳) as a function of temperature and magnetic field
… The measurement system used in this thesis is QD PPMS. Only the ACT and TTO options of the QD PPMS apparatus are used for measurements in this thesis. Under the ACT option, Hall and 4-pt p measurements on the same sample are performed. On the other hand, Kti, S, and 2-pt p measurements are …

Globalization and standards : the liberalization of trade and the potential for a regulatory race to the top
… pertain to process and production methods (PPMs) in global supply chains. One of the themes in this research is the distinction between standards based on the characteristics of a product and standards based on the process and production methods (PPMs) used to produce the product. Whereas …

Optimisation of silicone-based dielectric elastomer transducers by means of block copolymers – synthesis and compounding
… stabiliser. Here, polyphenylmethylsiloxane (PPMS), which contained aromatic voltage stabilisers, was bonded covalently to PDMS through a hydrosilylation reaction obtaining PDMS-PPMS copolymers. The synthesised copolymers were subsequently cross-linked with a vinyl cross-linker. The obtained …

Dynamics of polymer melts confined between adsorbing surfaces spaced at molecular dimensions
… physics emerges when polyphenylmethylsiloxane (PPMS) adsorbed between mica surfaces spaced at molecular dimensions undergoes oscillatory shear. The polymers experience a dynamic liquid-like to rubber-like transition at the onset of long range surface forces $(\sim$4.5 R$\sb{\rm G}).$ The long …

Receiver function studies of crustal structure, composition, and evolution beneath the Afar Depression, Ethiopia
… converted waves (PmS) and their multiples (PPmS and PSmS). Results suggest that the average crustal thickness beneath the Afar Depression is about 28.56±0.28 km and the crust is characterized by large Vp/Vs of 1.93±0.017 and smaller-than-normal overall stacking amplitude of the P-to-S …

Preparation and Characterization of Solid Solutions of Ternary and Quaternary Antimony Oxides
… X-ray powder diffraction, UV-Vis, SEM/EDS and PPMS were employed as the first characterization techniques for the planning of beamline experiments. The first antimony oxide system, investigated was Cu1-xCoxSb2O6 (x = 0 to 1). Cu1-xCoxSb2O6 (x = 0 to 1) powder and single crystal samples were …

Examining Cross-sector Collaboration to Support Implementation of the Ontario Public Health Standards – School Health Standard Guideline
… between PHUs and school boards (e.g. OPHS, PPMs); however, a barrier noted was the lack of one consistent or overarching provincial policy across the health and education sectors that supports or facilitates collaboration. At the local level, PHUs and school boards declare and demonstrate …
