Unreferenced date January 2010 Asset stripping involves selling the asset s of a business individually at a profit. The term is generally used in a pejorative sense as such activity is not considered productive to the economy. Asset stripping is considered to be a problem in economies such as Russia or China that are making a transition to the market. In these situations, managers of a state owned company have been known to sell the assets which they control, leaving behind nothing but debts to the state. A fictional example of asset stripping can be found in the 1987 film Wall Street 1987 film Wall Street . In this film, the ruthless investor Gordon Gekko , played by Michael Douglas , purchases the failing airline Blue Star, under the pretense that he will restructure the company and return it to profitability.

Other uses Strip disambiguation Strip Stripping is the act of removing the protective polymer coating around optical fiber in preparation for fusion splicing . The splicing process begins by preparing both fiber ends for fusion, which requires that all protective coating is removed or stripped from the ends of each fiber. Fiber optical stripping is usually carried out by a special stripping and preparation unit that uses hot sulphuric acid or a controlled flow of hot air to remove the coating . There are also mechanical tools used for stripping fiber which are similar to copper wire strippers. Fiber optical stripping and preparation equipment used in fusion splicing is commercially available through a small number of specialized companies, which usually also designs machines used for recoating fiber optical recoating .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Back stripping is a geophysical analysis technique used on sedimentary rock sequences it is used to isolate factors which contribute to basin formation filling other than sediment loading. It is a method by which successive layers of Sedimentary basin basin fill sediment are stripped off the total stratigraphy during analysis of that basin s history. In a typical scenario, a sedimentary basin deepens away from a marginal flexure , and the accompanying isochronous strata typically thicken basinward. By isolating the isochronous packages one by one, these can be peeled off or backstripped and the lower bounding surface rotated upward to a datum. By successively backstripping isochrons, the basin s deepening history can be plotted in reverse, leading to clues as to its tectonic or isostatic origin. A more complete analysis uses decompaction of the remaining sequence following each stage of the back stripping. This takes into account the amount of Compaction geology compaction caused by the loading of the later layers and allows a better estimation of the depositional thickness of the remaining layers and the variation of water depth with time.

The surgery involves making one or more incisions upon the desired area usually the groin or leg followed by insertion of a special wire into the vein. The wire is tied to and advanced through the vein to a desired depth. The vein is then pulled out from the body. The incisions are stitched up, and pressure dressings are applied to the incision. An overnight hospital stay is sometimes required, although some clinics may do it as a day surgery procedure. Patients may be advised to avoid physical activity for days or weeks. A pressure bandage followed by elastic stockings is a common recovery prescription. Like with any surgery that requires anesthesia , patients might experience some complications.

It is a chemical engineering technology used for the purification of groundwaters and wastewaters containing volatile compounds. Volatile compounds have relatively high vapor pressure and low aqueous solubility characterized by the compound s dimensionless Henry s law coefficient, which is the ratio of the concentration in air that is in equilibrium with its concentration in water. Pollutants with relatively high Henry s Law coefficients can be economically stripped from water. These include BTEX compounds benzene , toluene , ethylbenzene , and xylene found in gasoline, and solvents including trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene . Ammonia can also be stripped from wastewaters often requiring pH adjustment prior to stripping . Since Henry s law coefficient increases with temperature, stripping is easier at warmer temperatures. Air strippers Although any device that promotes contact between air and water strips some volatile compounds, air strippers are usually packed towers or Theoretical tray tray towers operated with countercurrent flow of water and air. Packed towers, such as shown in Figure 1, usually use engineered or random plastic packings.

Dividend stripping is the purchase of shares just before a dividend is paid, and the sale of those shares after that payment, i.e. when they go ex dividend . This may be done either by an ordinary investor as an investment strategy, or by a company s owners or associates as a tax avoidance strategy. Investors For an investor dividend stripping provides dividend income , and a capital loss when the shares fall in value in normal circumstances on going ex dividend . This may be profitable if the income is greater than the loss, or if the tax treatment of the two gives an advantage. Different tax circumstances of different investors is a factor. A tax advantage available to everyone would be expected to show up in the ex dividend price fall. But an advantage available only to a limited set of investors might not.

It is commonly restricted to describing the airing of shows that were weekly in their first run The West Wing could be stripped but not Jeopardy , as the latter is intended to be run daily. For much of the 1960s and into the early 1990s, stripping for syndication was one of, if not the primary profit component of the studio production model. A show became far more profitable if it succeeded in getting three full U.S. seasons about 75 episodes or more, as then it was possible to strip it for fifteen weeks 15 5 75 before needing to repeat episodes. Once a series attained five seasons, it would be a full six months before it would repeat. For Star Trek , in particular, this was relevant, as it did not begin to attain its popularity until after a couple years in syndication. If it had failed to obtain a third season due to an unprecedented letter writing campaign , it would not have been syndicated, and its history might be quite different. Many other shows with lukewarm response in their initial runs became widely appreciated cult favorites as a result of syndication, or helped keep cultural memes associated with them far more widely known than if the shows had only been viewable during their initial timeframe.

Summary of the book s argument While its title suggests a focus on iconoclasm, its concerns are broader, dealing with the shift in religious sensibilities in English society between 1400 and 1580. In particular, the book is concerned with establishing, in intricate detail, the religious beliefs and practices of English society in the century or so preceding the reign of Henry VIII of England Henry VIII .

Courts of general jurisdiction in the United States All federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. Many U.S. State s have divided their courts between criminal and civil, with some making further divisions, assigning probate, family law, and juvenile cases, for example, to specialized courts. General jurisdiction and judicial immunity One significant effect of the classification of a court is the liability that a judge from that court might face for stepping beyond the bounds of that court. Judges are able to claim judicial immunity for acts that are not completely beyond their jurisdiction. For example, if a probate judge were to sentence a person to jail, that judge would not have immunity and could be sued because a probate judge has no jurisdiction to effect a criminal sentence. However, a judge in a court of general jurisdiction who happened to be overseeing a probate case would be immune from suit for sending a party to jail, because handing down a criminal sentence is not completely beyond the jurisdiction of such a judge. In the United States, this principle was established by the United States Supreme Court Supreme Court in Stump v. Sparkman , Case citation 435 U.S. 349 1978 .
