  • Privatization of Public Social Services a Background Paper Demetra Smith Nightingale, Nancy M
    Privatization of Public Social Services A Background Paper Demetra Smith Nightingale, Nancy M. Pindus This paper was prepared at the Urban Institute for U.S. Department of Labor, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Document date: October 15, 1997 Policy, under DOL Contract No. J-9-M-5-0048, #15. Released online: October 15, 1997 Opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the positions of DOL, the Urban Institute or its sponsors. The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Urban Institute, its board, its sponsors, or other authors in the series 1. Introduction The purposes of the paper are to provide a general overview of the extent of privatization of public services in the areas of social services, welfare, and employment; rationales for privatizing service delivery, and evidence of effectiveness or problems. Examples are included to highlight specific types of privatization and actual operational experience. The paper is not intended to be a comprehensive treatment of the overall subject of privatization, but rather a brief review of issues and experiences specifically related to the delivery of employment and training, welfare, and social services. The key points that are drawn from a review of the literature are: There is no single definition of privatization. Privatization covers a broad range of methods and models, including contracting out for services, voucher programs, and even the sale of public assets to the private sector. But for the purposes of this paper, privatization refers to the provision of publicly-funded services and activities by non-governmental entities.

Dehn While the current Administration has largely abandoned claims of plenary presidential authority to fight the nation’s wars, courts, scholars, and policy makers continue to debate the nature and scope of the powers conferred by the September 18, 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force. This Article examines primarily Supreme Court precedent to distill the general scope and limits of the President’s powers to fight the nation’s international and non-international armed conflicts. It concludes that the Supreme Court has expressly endorsed and consistently observed (although inconsistently applied) two concepts of necessity attributable to the Commander-in- Chief power. The first is military necessity: the power to employ all military measures not prohibited by applicable law and reasonably calculated to defeat a national enemy.

  • Small Gas Turbines Chapter 2 Fuel Systems
    Chapter 2 Fuel Systems A complex part of a typical small gas turbine is the fuel system. Small gas turbines in a similar way to much larger units make high demands on the fuel systems. A typical fuel system is required to start and accelerate the engine, govern or control the engine at one or more running speeds, maintain a given speed under load conditions and in many designs, the engine must be protected against excessive exhaust gas temperatures and compressor surging. All small gas turbines are designed to operate on Jet fuel such as Jet A, Jet A1 and JP4, these fuels are similar to Kerosene. Paraffin is a type of kerosene, as is 28 second heating oil and gas oil. Small engines will run satisfactorily on any of these fuels, tolerance of differing fuels is one of the advantages of the gas turbine engine. As the combustion process is continuous and takes place at constant pressure, there are no problems with detonation or pinking. Detonation or pinking which is associated with piston engines significantly limits their performance. Certain designs of gas turbine intended for specialist stationary applications may be operated on natural gas. Many small engines may be operated on Diesel fuel or Petrol (Gasoline), the basic performance of the engine will be unaffected but prolonged use is not recommended for a number of reasons. Diesel fuel contains sulfur that may deposit itself on components in the fuel system. Certain fuel pump components are often silver-plated which will be damaged by the sulfur content in the fuel.
