Moreover, the trade group hopes to use the issue as a cudgel to force governments to harmonize value-added tax rates at lower levels, arguing that the proposal encourages foreign companies to register in countries with little or no V.A.T. for digital products, like Britain, where the rate on some items is zero, rather than, say, Sweden and Denmark, where the uniform rate is 25percentt.
By harmonizing results from several sources, the base cost of production converged to $11.57gal−11 with a standard deviation of $1.17 gal−1, this from a pre-harmonization value of $19.10gal−11 and a standard deviation of $6.22 gal−1 (Slade and Bauen 2013).
It is noteworthy that two centres used the same PSF algorithm but applied a different post filter, highlighting the need to harmonize quantitative values even in centres running similar equipment.
Finally, it is noteworthy that this study and others evaluating the impact of PSF reconstruction or a combination of PSF reconstruction and time-of-flight on quantitative values in oncology [ 7, 8, 24, 25] have been performed at a time when many efforts are being made to harmonize SUV values in multicentre trials [ 26– 28].
Post-reconstruction filtering was then applied to the PSF ± TOF reconstruction with EQ.PET (Siemens Medical Solutions), a proprietary software solution allowing visualization of optimized images while simultaneously obtaining harmonized SUV values [20, 23].
Different sites may have different variables, so choosing and harmonizing the values of common variables needs to be done before the model-fitting step.
Of all the mainstream ethical models pragmatism is the only approach that expressly acknowledges that the results of our decisions may either conflict with or harmonize with our values.
Since their actual concentrations showed high variability probably due to the variability of the amount of fluid recovered during lavage and on the actual area of the lung that was lavaged [ 43, 44] we tried to harmonize the measured values by normalization.
Examples of transnational results (e.g., functional groups for both lichen and vascular plants and nitrogen deposition) are presented which demonstrate the importance and value of harmonized monitoring data.
At a time of historic polarization, a Millennial approach to national service can harmonize conservative and progressive values and put our generation back to work rebuilding America.
By providing a comprehensive classification of decisionmaking criteria, this analysis can promote reflection on the value of harmonizing terminology in this field.
