The money, appropriated in the 2009 federal stimulus package, was initially intended for states with jobless rates higher than they were two years earlier.
Meanwhile, the new national state of emergency triggered such a rush on federal booty that the Senate stimulus package was initially larded with new subsidies for bison and sugar-beet farmers and money to wipe out citrus canker.
The cost of the package was initially estimated to be $31.6 billion over five years, but a last-minute change pushed by Republicans in the Senate may have blunted the savings by as much as $7 billion.
At least one of the packages was initially carried out of Yemen on two Qatar Airways passenger flights, and it was unclear whether they were intended to take down those passenger jets or the U.P.S. and FedEx cargo planes scheduled later to carry them to the United States.
The numerical models, which were developed using the finite element (FE) package ABAQUS, were initially validated against the experiments, showing the capability of the FE models to replicate the key test results, the full experimental load deformation histories and the observed local buckling failure modes.
MediaWiki is a wiki software package that was initially developed for Wikipedia and has since been used by a number of other sites.
To demonstrate the applicability of such a method, we used the Millipede-II software package which was initially developed and is frequently used for track-based alignment in particle physics.
Longboxes, the cardboard sleeves in which discs were initially packaged — in part to allow retailers to reuse the same bins in which they had stocked LPs — were dismissed as environmentally unfriendly and phased out by the early nineties.
Capillary sequence reads were analyzed using the Sequencher software package (GeneCodes Inc .. Next-generation sequencing data were initially processed using the GSMapper software package (Roche Inc).
Finite element (FE) models were also set up using the ABAQUS software package to conduct numerical simulations, which were initially validated by means of comparison with the experimental data.
The Railway Reform Packages (in particular the First Railway Package) were initially aimed at splitting infrastructure and operational accounting [6, 5] but has blossomed into a much wider package of reforms (for example in the Fourth Railway Packages) aimed at driving the European rail sector into a more competitive posture [8].
