The global financial turmoil of 2008 has resulted in the curtailment of military expenditure in most western countries. At a sub-regional-level reductions in the level of activity at a major military facility can have significant economic impact. In the light of this, the paper has two objectives: to analyse the impact of the decision to terminate naval shipbuilding at the United Kingdom's Portsmouth Naval Base; and, for illustrative purposes, to examine the possible economic consequences of further contraction at the facility. In pursuit of these aims, it is necessary to establish the output, income and employment generated by the base using a bespoke input–output model. The methodology employed can, with appropriate adjustments, be utilised in other military or civilian contexts.

Sounds like the author wanted to write "breach-of-contract action," but inadvertently contracted it. A search finds about ten other opinions that speak of "breach of contraction," usually just for "breach of contract" but in one instance likewise seeming to refer to a breach of contract action.

Peter Goodrich undertakes a postmodernist deconstruction of the modernist daims to autonomy of analytical and pure theories of law as contract as indicated by Rousseau. The autonomy of law must suppose a repressive starting point or foundation. Considering the Social Contract alongside the Essay on the Origin of Language, also by Rousseau, Goodrich draws out Derridean themes of ghostly memory and obsessive repetition to expose what the pretended foundation of law represses.

Many historians in the United States (and many teachers in US high schools and colleges) still attribute the Great Depression to the following: the breakdown of capitalism; excessive reliance on laissez‐faire policies; inequality of wealth; overproduction and stock market speculation. These purported causes led to the implementation of the New Deal: well‐intended, but ultimately ineffective, policies that actually prolonged the duration of the depression. A retrospective analysis of the actions taken by the Federal Reserve, in fact, demonstrate that the Great Depression was caused, in large part, by a massive contraction of the money supply.

AbstractWe consider the 𝓁p‐norm multi‐facility minisum location problem with linear and distance constraints, and develop the Lagrangian dual formulation for this problem. The model that we consider represents the most general location model in which the dual formulation is not found in the literature. We find that, because of its linear objective function and less number of variables, the Lagrangian dual is more useful. Additionally, the dual formulation eliminates the differentiability problem in the primal formulation. We also provide the Lagrangian dual formulation of the multi‐facility minisum location problem with the 𝓁pb‐norm. Finally, we provide a numerical example for solving the Lagrangian dual formulation and obtaining the optimum facility locations from the solution of the dual formulation. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Seit der Veröffentlichung der DIN EN 15221 in den Jahren 2007 - 2011 hat sich das Verständnis des Facility Management im europäischen Kontext konkretisiert. Die Fokussierung auf die Durchführung und Optimierung der unterstützenden Prozesse einer Organisation hat auch die Differenzierung zwischen Managementaspekten und operativen Leistungen verdeutlicht. Operative Dienstleistungen für die Nutzer und Eigentümer von Immobilien werden als Facility Services definiert. Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich den Facility Services sowohl in wissenschaftlicher Auseinandersetzung als auch der praktische Umsetzung. Es will ein Ratgeber für den Gebrauch in Lehre und beruflichem Alltag der Facility Manager sein.
