Known as RAFI ( Rural Advancement Foundation International ) until 1 September 2001, the ETC Group traces its history back to the National Sharecroppers Fund that was established in the 1930s by Eleanor Roosevelt ( amongst others ) to alleviate the plight of poor, mostly black tenant farmers in the U. S. In the early 1970s, Pat Mooney, Hope Shand, and Cary Fowler began working on the Seeds Issue through the Rural Advancement Foundation — and, in time, set up an international arm concerned with the rights of farmers in the global south.

By 2000, there was some confusion with the original Rural Advancement Foundation ( now called RAFI-USA ), so RAFI changed its name to ETC Group to reflect its wider scope of concern.

Diana Bronson, of the ETC Group, stated global warming was caused by " the scientific, corporate and political establishment of developed countries ", to now think those same people will correct the climate crisis and the biosphere is little bit naïve.

In an effort to inform opinion about synthetic biology, the ETC Group has released several comic-style illustrations regarding " Synthia ", the cell with the first synthetic genome created by Craig Venter and the J. Craig Venter Institute.

This decision was strongly opposed by Jim Thomas of the ETC Group, who referred to the recommendations by the commission as " disappointingly empty and timid ".

In a news conference meant to address the concerns surrounding synthetic biology at the local, national, and international level, five panelists including Jim Thomas of ETC Group, spoke on the risks associated with synthetic biology.

Pat Mooney, executive director of ETC Group, is a critic of biohacking who argues that — using a laptop computer, published gene sequence information, and mail-order synthetic DNA — just about anyone has the potential to construct genes or entire genomes from scratch ( including those of the lethal pathogens ) in the near-future.

Groups such as ETC Group and individuals such as Raymond Pierrehumbert have called for a moratorium on deployment and out-of-doors testing of geoengineering techniques.

The Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration ( ETC Group ) has been a major critic of the HGDP, speculating that issues of racism and stigmatization could occur should the HGDP be completed.

ETC increases the performance of conventional solid propellants, reduces the effect of temperature on propellant expansion and allows for more advanced, higher density propellants to be used.

ETC increases the performance of conventional solid propellants, reduces the effect of temperature on propellant expansion and allows for more advanced, higher density propellants to be used.

Despite these daunting tasks FLARE has been seen as the most plausible igniter for future application on ETC guns.

Although the XM-291 does not immediately mean that ETC technology is viable at this current point in time it does offer an example that it is possible and that continued research in the area is worth the advantages reaped if such a system was to be successfully implemented on a modern tank.

Tests have shown that energy output by the propellant is higher than energy input from outside sources on ETC guns.

The United States ' XM360, which is planned to equip the Future Combat Systems Mounted Combat System light tank and may be the M1 Abrams ' next gun upgrade, is reportedly based on the XM291 and may include ETC technology, or portions of ETC technology.

Philippines airs episodes every Thursday and Friday nine or ten hours after its US telecast on ETC.

Perhaps the most important restriction on the ETC framework for quark mass generation is that ETC interactions are likely to induce flavor-changing neutral current processes such as μ → e γ, K < sub > L </ sub > → μ e, and &# 124 ; Δ S &# 124 ; &# 61 ; 2 and &# 124 ; Δ B &# 124 ; &# 61 ; 2 interactions that induce and mixing.

Electronic toll collection ( ETC ), an adaptation of military " identification friend or foe " technology, aims to eliminate the delay on toll roads by collecting tolls electronically.

Badging was restricted to ETC badges on both C-pillars, a Cadillac crest on the grille along with the Cadillac script logo and a special " Cadillac Motor Car Company " badge on the trunk, which it shared with the STS.

As the vehicle passes through the exit light curtain ( 4 ), it is electronically classified by the treadle ( 5 ) based on the number of axles, and the ETC account is charged the proper amount.

As the first ETC system in North America was installed on the Dallas North Tollway in 1989, many California toll facilities started to express interest in the technology.

The ETC group joined a group of over 50 environmental groups calling for a moratorium on synthetic biology in a letter to government officials that referred to results of the commission as " irresponsible and dangerous " and stated that " self-regulation amounts to no regulation ".

The cash toll for a single trip on the Aqua-Line is ¥ 3000 for ordinary-size cars (¥ 2400 for kei cars ); however, using the ETC ( electronic toll collection ) system, the fare is ¥ 2320 (¥ 1860 for kei cars ).

The ETC toll is reduced to ¥ 1000 on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.

The engine topped out at from 1996 through 2004 on the STS, DTS and ETC models, making these some of the most powerful domestic front wheel drive cars ever built.

The ability of ETC technology to be applied to existing gun designs means that for future gun upgrades there's no longer the necessity to redesign the turret to include a larger breech or caliber gun barrel.

Chassis test cycles include the US light-duty UDDS, HWFET, US06, SC03, ECE, EUDC, and CD34, while engine test cycles include ETC, HDDTC, HDGTC, WHTC, WHSC, and ED12.

Congestion pricing or urban toll schemes were implemented to enter the downtown area using ETC technology and / or cameras and video recognition technology to get the plate numbers in several cities around the world: urban tolling in Norway's three major cities: Bergen ( 1986 ), Oslo ( 1990 ), and Trondheim ( 1991 ) ( see Trondheim Toll Scheme ); Singapore in 1998 ( see Singapore ’ s Electronic Road Pricing ), as an upgrade to the world's first successful congestion pricing scheme implemented with manual control in 1975 ( see also Singapore's Area Licensing Scheme ); Rome in 2001 as an upgrade to the manual zone control system implemented in 1998 ; London in 2003 and extended in 2007 ( see London congestion charge ); Stockholm, tested in 2006 and made the charge permanent in 2007 ( see Stockholm congestion tax ); and in Valletta, the capital city of Malta, since May 2007.

In addition to the ETC proposal for quark and lepton masses, Eichten and Lane observed that the size of the ETC representations required to generate all quark and lepton masses suggests that there will be more than one electroweak doublet of technifermions.

In 1986 Akiba and Yanagida also considered enhancing quark and lepton masses, by simply assuming that α < sub > TC </ sub > is constant and strong all the way up to the ETC scale.

As a result, California was the first in the nation to require all of its toll bridges and roads to use the same ETC system.

However, with the ETC, the movement is all done by electronic controls moving an electric motor.

Most if not all current ETC systems have a closed loop system whereby the ECU tells the throttle to open a certain amount according to an algorithm based on the geometry of the throttle.
