Sheriff Roberts said some of the workers were let go because he wanted to replace them with sworn deputies while others were dismissed because of poor performance or his belief that their actions "hindered the harmony and efficiency of the office".
We design an original laboratory experiment to investigate whether redistributive actions hinder the formation of Pareto-improving groups.
It may be asserted that unstable employment relations during SAMU regulation in Rio de Janeiro did little to facilitate the professionals' actions, hindering these regulators in their deployment of service resources against a backdrop of limited state cooperation in the hospitals.
Toxicity-related problems, drug resistance and broad spectrum of action have hindered the success pathway of platinum antitumor chemotherapeutic drugs, although the survival rates for patients suffering from solid cancers treated by platinum drugs, notably 'cisplatin' is considerably high.
Implementation in practice (collective action) was hindered by reports of limited time, insufficiently robust supervision arrangements and the constraints associated with a feasibility study.
Health system constraints affected continuity of care, privacy, and integration of the intervention into routine functioning, and the process of intersectoral action was hindered by the formation of alliances.
These observations and the crystal structure of the CpxI(26-83)/SNARE complex lead naturally to a simple model whereby the complexin accessory helix inhibits release because it is oriented toward the area where the two membranes need to be brought together for fusion and this action is hindered by electrostatic repulsion between the accessory helix and the two membranes.
All these morphological changes are important for improving enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency, as shown in Table 3. Enzymatic action is hindered when the bagasse fibers are packed and their surfaces are protected as in Figures 5b,d and 6, resulting in a hydrolysis efficiency of only 22% after 48 hours of hydrolysis.
Rezende et al. [ 50], also reported that these morphological alterations are important for improving cellulose hydrolysis because enzymatic action is hindered when bagasse fibers are packed and their surfaces are protected by lignin, which acts as an 'enzymatic trap', causing an unproductive adsorption of cellulases to the substrate.
"The council apologises to the inquiry if it believes our actions have hindered their task, but as I have set out before that has never been our intention," he added.
During the First World War, when Hand was still a district-court judge, he struck down parts of the Espionage Act, a precursor to the Patriot Act, which had proscribed any actions that hindered the war effort, including the circulation of seditious materials.
