(q) Refinement of accounting practice

The stepwise process includes five overlapping and iterative steps

We went through an iterative process of producing better and better models.

An iterative, statistically based approach will be used to construct the model.

He was learning about our process about design thinking, about empathy, about iterative prototyping.

The Principles represent a refinement and extension of the guidelines developed in 1978.

It was essential that the process of refinement be both specific and quantifiable.

Accordingly, the changing nature of forest and human systems requires an iterative, adaptive approach to the decentralization process.

We have testing, we go to the lab, we try it again, we have refinement.

It was that hands on iterative process which is so much like vernacular design and folk design in traditional cultures.

Evaluation thus supports the development, application and continuous refinement of results based management systems and methodologies.

(b) Adequate attention will be given to interventions which are based on the refinement of traditional knowledge.

Emphasizing that capacity building is a continuous, progressive and iterative process, the implementation of which should be based on the priorities of developing countries,

This is particularly true if your derived class is a refinement or specialisation of code in your base class.

While the refinement represents an improvement in practice, it does not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Approach decentralization as an iterative process, in which one can learn from successes and failures, as well as fine tune and adapt plans over time.

So, because it went into mass production, costs were reduced, 100 years of refinement, emissions were reduced, tremendous production value.

In due course, the relationship between the OIOS and the troop contributing countries on investigations will also need further refinement.

Humans are so amazing how we think, our non linear approaches, our creativity, iterative hypotheses, all very difficult if possible at all for computers to do.

This exercise would definitely represent a strong refinement of the estimation methodology without affecting the systematic nature of the overall quantification approach.

A central element of its public information activities has been the promotion and refinement of a culture of evaluation and performance management.

UNDP shared this view while noting that the Urban Governance Index, a tool being developed to measure good urban governance, required further refinement.

Some analytical efforts should also be devoted to possible refinement of the existing methodology, such as improvements in the quantification of quantity measures.

The adoption of a participative and iterative approach in the context of the assessment of the level of achievement of the commitments set out in the Declaration is an important concern.

Key to this task is the refinement of the policy framework, guidelines, methodologies, tools and procedures so as to ensure effective and efficient use of limited resources.

This iterative and interactive process will lead to national policies, plans and budgets that are specifically targeted at achieving progress towards the Goals, especially those directly related to maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition

And what I want to do is to kind of map an arc that there is extraction, where we're taking it from the ground, refinement. And that's one chapter.

A description of the methodology and the work in progress was included in the World Drug Report, 2005 but further refinement and research will be undertaken on the index.

What is raw? The raw, I would say is the naked experience, untouched by luxury, untouched by expensive materials, untouched by the kind of refinement that we associate with high culture.

More than 2,500 frames in both visible and infrared bands for identification of landmarks and altitude and orbit refinement were obtained. The orbital mass of the Rohini satellites was about 42 kg.

Although most of the recommendations generated in these Processes are of permanent value, the specific nature of issues encountered in some current targeted sanctions regimes and their implementation could require further refinement.

In that regard, the Subcommittee welcomed the recommendation that the draft regional plan of action be submitted to the four subregional conferences for further refinement before adoption by the second regional preparatory conference.

For starters, there is a broad and longstanding consensus among scientists that recombinant DNA techniques are essentially an extension, or refinement, of earlier methods for genetic modification, and that gene transfer using these precise, predictable molecular techniques does not present any risk per se.

The first phase of 12 months, which started in October, encompassed (i) refinement of analytical methods and tools through market analysis studies, (ii) the effect of food aid interventions, (iii) non food response options to crisis situations, and (iv) chronic versus transitory food insecurity.

Given humans limited reading speed (200 300 words per minute) and the enormous volume of available information, effective decision making today calls for semantic technology in every aspect of knowledge refinement. We cannot afford a future in which knowledge is at the mercy of popularity and money.

The current text, as it appears in paragraph 35 above, should be taken as a basis for further refinement to reconcile the two positions on the basis of a new text to be elaborated by the informal drafting group for the further consideration of the Working Group

In accordance with its mandate, the Monitoring Group focused on continued violations of the arms embargo, and the refinement and development of the draft list of violators from the beginning of the period of the mandate up to the time of the writing of the present report (September 2004 February 2005).

The Advisory Committee notes the observation of the Secretary General concerning the impasse regarding the current methodology for submission of data, with one group of Member States expressing satisfaction with the current methodology, preferring that it be maintained, and another believing that it is flawed and requires further refinement (see A 59 292, paras.

The Conference of the Parties may wish to invite the secretariat to prepare a paper on the scope of decision guidance documents and the feasibility of a process for the updating and refinement of decision guidance documents for the next meeting of the Chemical Review Committee in preparation for a discussion of this issue at its third meeting.

6 and 7). As indicated in the report of the Working Group, no consensus could be reached in the Group with regard to the triennial review of reimbursement rates for major equipment (A C.5 58 37, para. 35), the review of triennial self sustainment rates (ibid., para. 68) or on the refinement of the methodology for either (ibid., paras. 60 and 69).

There was no consensus, however, on five of the issues addressed the triennial review of reimbursement rates of major equipment and self sustainment a proposed refinement of the current methodology for triennial rate review of contingent owned equipment creation of a mechanism to provide guidance and decision making on contingent owned equipment adoption of a modular medical concept and a proposed methodology to review the rates of reimbursement for troop costs.

We are thinking especially of nuclear disarmament, banning the production of fissile materials for nuclear weapons, the prevention of an arms race in outer space and, to the extent that these weighty topics would allow, other elements covered by proposals that have come closest to finding consensus, such as that of the five Ambassadors, a proposal which readily drew New Zealand's support and remains open to further refinement.
