This paper is the first step in the development of such a diagnostic approach by proposing a scope for an operational procedure that maps a system's current conditions and identifies its potential transformative capacity.
Last month, for example, the Treasury launched a pilot project in Romford to identify the scope for achieving savings in operational PFI contracts, whilst a north-eastern mental health trust paid off its PFI contract with Aviva, a move that will save around £1.4m a year.
However, there are warning signs of where and why this transition could stall, for example, the little scope for informed strategic and operational decision making in view of the lack of evidence on the disease burden of NCDs in Zambia and the concentration of technology and skills at the second and tertiary levels in the health system.
Besides, the feasibility for long term operation, the scope for future research along with the operational and maintenance costs are discussed to provide a broad spectrum on the role of the system components for the implementation of these bio-electrochemical technologies for practical utility.
Marconi's fortunes turned last year when its new boss, Mike Parton, persuaded creditors to forgive £4 billion in debt in return for majority ownership.In both cases, however, the "buy" ratings signify scope for further cost-cutting and operational improvements, rather than confidence in the companies' long-term prospects.
In the case of quenching, the scope for redesigning the system or operational parameters for enhancing the heat transfer is very much limited and the emphasis should be on designing quench media with enhanced heat transfer characteristics.
The estimation of this quantity is really a question for operational research, and therefore falls outside the scope of this paper.
There is scope for much more in later years, even though the vast majority of TfL's 5,700 acres is needed for operational use - it has railway lines and roads running through it.
It also indicates that since the structure is known and consistently modelled, there is scope for design in terms of the reactor operational conditions to increase the catalyst performance.
The same goes for operational efficiency.
