  Simultaneous substitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simultaneous substitution or simsub, in Canadian broadcasting, is the practice by which cable, direct broadcast satellite and multichannel multipoint distribution service television distribution companies substitute a local Canadian signal over a non-Canadian or non-local signal, when two or more stations are airing the same programming at the same time.
With simultaneous substitution, Global can ensure that advertisements purchased on their network are seen by nearly all Canadians watching the show at that particular time, rather than losing advertising revenue because some viewers were seeing the FOX affiliate's commercials instead.
While some Canadians erroneously believe that simultaneous substitution is a uniquely Canadian policy which represents an undemocratic intrusion by the CRTC into Canadian television viewing habits, in actual fact cable companies in the United States are required by the Federal Communications Commission to follow a very similar policy of syndication exclusivity, or "syndex".

 Import substitution is a strategy that has enjoyed little explicit practice and limited academic study
Import substitution causes the existing level of injections from exports to have a larger multiplier effect on the local community by stemming income leakage.
Import substitution strategies are rarely enacted in isolation, but tend to form one facet of a broader strategy, becoming inextricably linked with other development goals and programs such as economic self-sustainability, entrepreneurial development, or location incentives.
Quite commonly, the import substitution portion of a program or strategy remains implicit or even incidental, and import substitution is not acknowledged as an underlying basis for the economic development measure.

 Import substitution as sustainable economic development
Despite this, in the 1970s, import substitution came into the U.S. consciousness as a means to promote national (Buy American campaigns) and regional development and the debate continues as to its effectiveness (http://www.planning.unc.edu/courses/261/drucker/history.html).
Local economies are often described by a “leaky bucket” model in which the bucket represents the local region and money can both circulate within the bucket and flow in and out.
Local economic development often focuses on attracting businesses under the assumption that the jobs generated by those businesses will generate local income and, in turn, local spending of such income.

It compares a locally produced good to a foreign one, where in the case of the local product the price is $125, the foreign input is 80 per cent and the local input is 20 per cent.
In the case of the local produce this is arrived at because 80 per cent of $125 is due to foreign inputs.
The advantage of local produce it can be argued is the creation of jobs but if the local good causes greater imports then in the long term this may not be the best solution.

If states substitute some of the increase in federal funds for their own funds, then total highway spending may increase, but not by as much as it would have had substitution not occurred.
We did not consider it substitution if in response to increased federal highway funds, state and local funds were moved from highway projects that were eligible for federal aid to highway projects that were not eligible for federal aid.
Meyers also modeled the substitution rate based on a different definition of substitution, defining substitution as occurring when state funds were moved out of federal- aid highway projects, even if those funds were used for highway projects that were ineligible for federal aid.

 Public Notice CRTC 1997-7
Simultaneous substitution is intended to allow for the full exploitation of program rights purchased by local broadcasters, since it can prevent situations in which a program for which a local broadcaster holds the program rights is broadcast simultaneously on the local station and on an out-of-market station.
Advanced substitution is the term currently used to refer to a variety of proposals that would extend the protection of local broadcasters' program rights.
The local broadcaster would schedule this second channel so that any programs for which it had exclusive rights were broadcast at the same time as they were broadcast on any out-of-market station carried by the distributor that aired the same program.

 Ofcom Website | Section3 - Market definition- Review of the wholesale local access market
While additional flexible jumpers and tie-cables are required to upgrade the loop-based local access connection to enable broadband, the local loop between the end user premises and the MDF is typically the same as used to provide exchange line services only.
Local loops provide the local access component of most of the more than 30 million analogue and ISDN lines in service, though cable does account for a significant number of analogue exchange lines too.
Firstly, customers purchasing wholesale local access are unlikely to do so to supply very small individual local areas but to supply services to customers on a broader geographic basis, creating pressure for tariffs that apply across wider geographic areas than a very local perspective might suggest.

 A logic grammar representation for XML Schema
A pair of a local name and a namespace name (or absent) resolve to a schema component of a specified kind in the context of validation by appeal to the appropriate property of the schema being used for the assessment.
The component resolved to is the entry in the table whose local name matches the local name of the pair and whose target namespace is identical to the namespace name of the pair.
A string is locally valid with respect to a simple type definition if it is schema-valid with respect to that definition as defined by Datatype Valid in [W3C 2001c].

 Signal Substitution
Signal substitution occurs when a cable company inserts the signal of a local or regional Canadian TV station on the channel of a more distant station showing the same program at the same time.
For substitution to take place, the local or regional TV station has to make a request to the cable company in advance.
With substitution, the local and regional stations maintain their home audiences, which in turn maintains the integrity of the local licence.

With respect to priority carriage obligations and simultaneous substitution requirements, CAB acknowledges the commitments made by each of the applicants to deliver local signals within the basic MDS package on a market-by-market basis and to carry out simulcast requests.
Requests for substitution among Canadian broadcasters within the serving territory would have to be accommodated by use of the addressable deletion capability except where, as for London, separate head end capability exists.
We understand that there are cost implications for MDS operators to fulfill the requirement of priority carriage for local signals and simultaneous substitution.

The short answer is that import substitution is the replacement of goods and services purchased outside a region with goods and services produced within the region.
In this sense, import substitution creates "growth from within," as local businesses receive supply contracts and local residents earn wages and income.
* Import substitution strategies are rarely practiced or considered on their own, rather they normally form a portion or segment of a broader strategy or set of programs.

 CAB-Television Submissions
Specifically, it required that DTH operators carry out simultaneous substitution between Canadian and non-Canadian services that are part of the DTH service offering and that it carry out program deletion on a simultaneous and non-simultaneous basis within a broadcast week at the request of local stations.
The CAB considers that the conditions of licence relating to program deletion and substitution which the Commission imposed on each of the applicants were appropriate and are "related to the circumstances" of each licensee.
The result would be diminished audiences and revenues for local stations and a reduction in the capacity of local licensees to fulfill their own Canadian program commitments.

 LC '98 abstract: Georg Moser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Hilbert's substitution method [1,2,3] is known as a strong tool for $\epsilon$-elimination in arithmetic and analysis.
Contrary to this traditional use we aim at applications of the substitution method to pure first-order logic; this question has been investigated in [4], but we pursue a more direct approach.
Without the additional information rendered by a concrete theory like PA, we are bound to evaluate every $\epsilon$-term syntactically by replacing it with the corresponding critical term $t$.
