examples: Geltsdale Forsest is an extensive tract of mountain, forming the south-east portion of Castle Carrock parish, and is a royal forest leased by the Earl of Carlisle. Part of it abounds in birch and alderwoods, and gives rise to the river Gelt, which flows northwards.
In consequence, when the ground-level in spite of all does in time rise above the water-level, instead of an alderwood one encounters meadow associations belonging to the order Molinietalia.
Not all stand types have an alderwood equivalent. For example, Quercus petraea and Fagus rarely grow with alder, so the alderwood equivalents of stand types 6A and 6C are the same as those of 6B and 6D, and there are no alderwood equivalents of been woodland.

Senses:
gloss: A money laundering or tax avoidance scheme in which money is deposited in an offshore bank and then borrowed back by a shell company controlled by the holder of that bank account.
pos: noun
examples: It was Lansky who pioneered the “loan-back” technique. Money was moved in the form of cash, traveller's cheques, or bearer bonds for deposit in numbered Swiss accounts. The money then returned home in the form of "loans" to the person who had initiated the cycle, who would replay the loan with interest, deducting the interest from his taxable income as a business expense. Multinational corporations continue to use a variant of this scheme to reduce their tax obligations.
The loan-back scheme involves an offshore shell company that receives illegally obtained money through the placement mechanism. The owner of the illegal money goes to an offshore bank of which he is the owner or in which he has a criminal ally and applies for a loan for his front company. The offshore shell is then transfers the illegal monies through layers to the offshore bank, which will, after receipt, approve the loan and transmit it to the front company. The interest payments incurred on the loan may also be tax deductible on the level of the front company.
He told them about the great secrecy havens – Switzerland, the Netherlands Antilles, the Cayman Islands, Liechtenstein – about dummy corporations and the byzantine loan-back systems which criminals had devised to cover their tracks.

examples: ... high confining pressure is associated with the closed short joint type, occuring ^([sic]) as a disperse cataclasm, whereas low confining pressure will cause the single closed extensive cleavage joint (mono-fracture).
The Joints occur in sets either as single mono-fractures or as groups of fractures located within zones of high and low intensity.
On a section, a mono-fracture appears planar, listric and ramp-flat; and multi-fractures may be in a combined pattern of grabenuhorst ^([sic]) or domino, showing a consistent distribution with the growth normal faults in the region.

examples: To a much greater degree than Roman slavery, the specialism of mechanized industry and market organization has faced Western man with the challenge of manufacture by mono-fracture, or the tackling of all things and operations one-bit-at-a-time.
Mechanization of any process is achieved by fragmentation, beginning with the mechanization of writing by movable types, which has been called the “mono-fracture of manufacture.”

examples: DoorDash carries a commercial auto insurance policy that covers up to $1 million in bodily injury and/or property damage of its Dashers, who are considered third parties. Any accident that occurs while on an active delivery (in possession of goods to be delivered) qualifies the Dasher for coverage.
In January 2021, for example, grocery chains Vons, Pavilions, and Albertsons came to an agreement with DoorDash to fire their delivery staff—which had previously worked full-time with benefits—and replace them with an army of subcontracted “Dashers.”
Formulate a linear programming model to minimize the sum of the times of assignments made such that no Dasher is assigned to more than one order and each order must be assigned to exactly one Dasher.
In it, the company found 18% of Dashers said they have “a disability or other chronic condition”—which, DoorDash said, is four times greater than the mainstream workforce.

Nearly a year ago, I began dating two friends — I’ll call them Rachel and Dave — who were already themselves in a relationship. We all had no experience with polyamory. The throuple ended fairly quickly, with no one being at fault; the other two continued to date but broke up not too long afterward.
But among all the throuples, polycules and nesting partners, there exists another category of polyamory that still throws many for a loop: solo polyamory, or having concurrent intimate relationships while maintaining independence.

2008, Robert Erdahl, Andrei Ordine, Konstantin Rybnikov, Perfect Delaunay Polytopes and Perfect Quadratic Functions on Lattices, Matthias Beck, et al. (editors), Contemporary Mathematics 452: Integer Points in Polyhedra — Geometry, Number Theory, Representation Theory, Algebra, Optimization, Statistics, AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Conference, June 11-15, 2006, page 104,
The convex hulls of such crosses often appear as cells in Delaunay tilings – cross polytopes are examples, as are the more spectacular symmetric perfect Delaunay polytopes.
The cross polytope βₙ is the regular polytope in n dimensions corresponding to the convex hull of the points formed by permuting the coordinates (±1,0,0,...,0), and has therefore 2n vertices. It is named so because its vertices are located equidistant from the origin, along the Cartesian axes in n-space. The cross polytope in n dimensions is bounded by 2ⁿ (n - 1)-simplices, has 2n vertices and 2ⁿ(n - 1) edges.
If one works with the l₁ norm, a ball (the set of all points whose distance lies within a certain radius around a point of interest) has the shape of a cross-polytope. A one-dimensional cross-polytope is a line segment, a two-dimensional cross-polytope is a square, for three dimensions, an octahedron, and so forth.
While centrally symmetric d-polytopes with 2d vertices are affinely equivalent to the d-dimensional cross-polytope, a complete classification of the centrally symmetric d-polytopes with 2d + 2 vertices is out of reach.
