He was certainly on the money as regards "managing the vehicle fleet", but to quote from the news story by Alan Travis and Zoe Williams that revealed where things are headed, the list of envisaged outsourced functions is altogether more fundamental than that.
A range of services are envisaged, which can provide functions at various levels from data retrieval, spatial analysis and map generation to specialist environmental models, which are made available over the Internet.
Calculations identified the required cooling capacity of a refrigerated container as a function of the envisaged fruit cooling time, and these were complemented by a full-scale experiment.
In the envisaged systems, the di-methacrylate functions as a soft cross-linker, thus avoiding physico-mechanical deformation of the s-IPNs at elevated temperature, without hampering the ionic conductivity.
A third type of reviewing is the evaluation of educational or research institutions such as universities in regard to how they function compared to that envisaged by the boards of such institutions.
He saw Speakers' Corner as "playing the same role as envisaged – mostly dormant but good to have".
In addition to pharmacological agents classically used in oncology and able to control transcription and miRNA expression [ 132, 133], two miRNA-specific technological approaches can be envisaged: (i) to downregulate or block the function of oncogenic miRNAs (miRNA antagonists) and (ii) to upregulate the expression of miRNAs that have a tumor-suppressive function (miRNA mimics).
In the last few years, several projects have envisaged hospitals not only as containers of functions, but also as expressions of cultural and social value.
