The financial crisis made it necessary to deal with failing financial firms that are not banks, to rationalise supervisory structures and to regulate derivatives, all of which the Dodd-Frank Act does.Unfortunately Dodd-Frank does much more than that.
That looks like a threat to drug-company patents.Dr Brundtland's first task, therefore, is to try to rationalise the WHO's structure.
He rationalised the Apollo command structure, brought schedules and costs under control and introduced "all-up testing", which was crucial for the speedier development of Saturn V, the Apollo launch vehicle, and indeed for Nasa's ability to hit JFK's deadline.
Moving those responsibilities, now shared by a patchwork of agencies, to a separate body, as Mr Paulson first proposed, could both rationalise America's regulatory structure and make the Fed a smaller political target.The Fed itself could do more to ensure that its eventual mix of duties does not interfere with its commitment to price stability.
Comparing cathodes using a combination of in-situ and ex-situ synchrotron XRD data allows us to rationalise cathodic performance with structure and thereby directing research into promising candidates.
As a result, many industries are fragmented and inefficient.Companies must rationalise their unwieldy structures and put their cash hoards to work, says Mr Niinami.
If the X group contains a triple bond (ethynyl or cyanide), the dihedral angle is near 0°, with the C≡C bond lying in the plane of the phenyl ring.[ 21] The preference for this planar structure has been rationalised by the presence of a stabilising CH⋅⋅⋅π HB interaction between an aromatic CH bond and the triple bond π-electron cloud.
These differences can be rationalised on the basis of the dicarboxylate structure, in particular the angle between the carboxylate vectors.
Leaf operations were the first to be rationalised, with the implementation of a 'single management structure' and 'single leaf strategy' in place of the pre-existing national operations, in order to 'consolidate operations, reduce costs and gain sustained competitive advantage from the synergies obtained'[ 62].
The CMF armoured units were rationalised in 1957 and consequently the change to the pentropic structure in the 1960s mostly resulted in a change in role only, with the 4th/19th PWLH changing from an armoured unit to a reconnaissance regiment.
The dimer crystal structure features two potential ligand binding sites and helps rationalise many characteristics of ligand-receptor binding, such as the existence of both low- (site 1) and high-affinity (site 2) binding sites and negative cooperativity, as inferred from Scatchard plots [41], [42].
