Measuring Value Added in the Pensions Industry

General/Mixed Industry Byproducts

Field production of ornamental shrubs often coniferous species, respectively, were monitored for 12 results in significant topsoil removal and degradation of weeks in pot culture in both composite tailings (CTs) and surface soil physical properties. Building soil organic matter tailings sand (TS) materials obtained from the oil sands through compost amendments is one way to ameliorate plant, Sy...

Enzymatic grafting of peptides from casein hydrolysate to chitosan. Potential for value-added byproducts from food-processing wastes.

Tyrosinase was used to initiate the grafting of peptides onto the amine-containing polysaccharide chitosan. Chemical evidence for covalent grafting was obtained from electrospray mass spectrometry for products formed from reactions with glucosamine (the monomeric unit of chitosan) and the model dipeptide Tyr-Ala. When this model dipeptide was incubated with tyrosinase and chitosan, there was a ...

Investigating Value-Added Production in the Canadian Forest Industry

Industry analysts have indicated that there is a trend toward more value-added production in the Canadian forest industry. This suggests that the value of output has increased relative to the primary resource costs of production, leaving increased returns available for other production costs. If, however, these other costs out-pace value-added growth, the industry may be in jeopardy as profit l...

The Added Value of Value Added Tax

Raising domestic tax revenues is a priority for most sub-Saharan African countries. But the tax bases in most African countries are undermined by widespread tax avoidance and evasion. A new study from CMI supports the claim that improved knowledge about the tax system makes a difference in people’s willingness to pay tax. The study shows that exposure to Value-AddedTax (VAT) makes people take a...
