You already know that an employee benefit plan qualified as a âgovernment planâ is exempt from ERISAâs framework. But what is the definition of âgovernmentâ? Some employers may not actually be government entities, and public private partnership may inject ERISA back into the framework. This new case gives you the tests to apply to determine whether a government entity exists, which then means ERISA does not apply. Smith v. Regional Transit Authority, __ F. Supp. 2d __ (E.D.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans (a group of single-celled microorganism) belonging to the genus Plasmodium.alaria parasites belong to the genus Plasmodium (phylum Apicomplexa). In humans, malaria is caused by P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, P. vivax and P. knowlesi. Among those infected, P. falciparum is the most common species identified (~75%) followed by P. vivax (~20%).
Maleic acid or cis-butenedioic acid is an organic compound that is a dicarboxylic acid, a molecule with two carboxyl groups. Its chemical formula is HO 2 CCHCHCO 2 H. Maleic acid is the cis-isomer of butenedioic acid, whereas fumaric acid is the trans-isomer.he major industrial use of maleic acid is its conversion to fumaric acid. This conversion, an isomerization, is catalysed by a variety of reagents, such as mineral acids and thiourea. Again, the large difference in water solubility makes fumaric acid purification easy.
