The retention period of a document is an aspect of records management . It represents the period of time a document should be kept or retained . At the termination of the retention period, the document is usually destroyed. The term is generally used by accountants and tax professionals whose occupation involves dealing with legal documents that only need to remain in existence for a certain amount of time. The retention period varies for different types of records. For example, business incorporation documents have a permanent retention period meaning that they should be retained and never be destroyed , but receipts for tax deductible purchases by an individual taxpayer usually have a three year retention period and can often be safely discarded after that point. The length of the retention period is based on the likelihood that the document will be needed at some point in the future. Records that will serve no further purpose as determined by the length of their retention period are destroyed for space issues, usually by paper shredder s. Retention requirements are also established for a variety of electronic records in industry specific legislation such as the Sarbanes Oxley Act and regulatory bodies such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in the United States . ref http www.csoonline.com read 070106 record retention.html The Seven Deadly Sins of Records Retention CSOonline.com Bot generated title ref References references tax stub Category Taxation Category Legal documents Category Data management de Aufbewahrungsfrist ... more details

The term retention rate is used in a variety of fields, including marketing, investing and education. In marketing , retention rate is used to count customers and track customer activity irrespective of the number of Financial transaction transactions or dollar value of those transactions made by each customer. Retention rate is the ratio of the number of retained customers to the number at risk. In contractual situations, it makes sense to talk about the number of customers currently under contract and the percentage retained when the contract period runs out. This term should not be confused with growth decline in customer counts. Retention refers only to existing customers in contractual situations. In non contractual situations such as catalog sales , it makes less sense to talk about the current number of customers, but instead to count the number of customers of a specified recency.

Retention and Protention are key aspects of Edmund Husserl s Phenomenology philosophy phenomenology of temporality . Our experience of the world is not of a series of unconnected moments. Indeed, it would be impossible to have an experience of the world if we did not have a sense of temporality . That our perception brings an impression to our minds depends upon retention and protention. Retention is the process whereby a phase of a perceptual act is retained in our consciousness. It is a presentation of that which is no longer before us and is distinct from immediate experience. A simple example might be that of watching a ball being thrown. We retain where the ball was in our minds to understand the momentum of the ball as we perceive it in the immediate present. Retention is not a representation or memory but a presentation of a temporally extended present. That is, a present that extends beyond the few short milliseconds that are registered in a moment of sense perception. Protention is our perception of the next moment. The moment that has yet to be perceived. Again, using the example of a ball, our focus shifts along the expected path the ball will take. According to Husserl, perception has three temporal aspects, retention, the immediate present and protention and a flow through which each moment of protention becomes the retention of the next. ref citation first Francisco last Varela author link Francisco Varela title The Specious Present A Neurophenomenology of Time Consciousness publisher Stanford University Press year 1997 ref Maurice Merleau Ponty describes the temporal phenomenology of perception in the Phenomenology of Perception as follows blockquote Husserl uses the terms protentions and retentions for the intentionalities which anchor me to an environment ..., the second undergoes a new modification from being a retention it becomes the retention of a retention ...

ref improve date December 2011 Retention uniformity , or R sub U sub , is a concept in thin layer chromatography , designed for quantitative measurement of equal spreading of the spots on the chromatographic plate and one of the Chromatographic response function s. Formula Retention uniformity is calculated from the following formula math R U 1 sqrt frac 6 n 1 n 2n 1 sum i 1 n left R Fi frac i n 1 right 2 math where n is the number of compounds separated, R sub f 1...n sub are the Retention factor of the compounds sorted in non descending order. Theoretical considerations The coefficient lies always in range 0,1 and 0 indicates worst case of separation all R sub f sub values equal to 0 or 1 , value 1 indicates ideal equal spreading of the spots, for example 0.25,0.5,0.75 for three solutes, or 0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8 for four solutes. This coefficient was proposed as an alternative to earlier approaches, such as D separation response , I sub p sub performance index or S sub m sub informational entropy . Besides its stable range, the advantage is a stable distribution as a random variable, regardless of compounds investigated. In contrast to the similar concept called Retention distance , R sub u sub is insensitive to R sub f sub values close to 0 or 1, or close to themselves. If two values are not separated, it still indicates some uniformity of chromatographic system. For example the R sub f sub values 0,0.2,0.2,0.3 two compounds not separated at 0.2 and one at the start result in R sub U sub equal to 0.3609.

Unreferenced date September 2008 Forced retention refers to the act of applying pressure to employment employees to deter them from leaving a company. The most common way to do this is through legal means, such as Non complete clause non compete and non disclosure agreement s. Given an adequately broad agreement, a company may threaten employees who try to leave for competitors or in some cases, non competitors with legal action. In some countries, the government may implement similar laws or policies to prevent or discourage employees from leaving certain companies or government organizations. It has also been applied to companies which offers significant financial benefits to employees to encourage them to stay, in particular after a merger for example, a minimum period to qualify for stock options , but this usage is commonly considered incorrect. Forced retention is most commonly used by companies on the decline, or at least with limited growth prospects. Top employees will often join a small or mid size company, with significant growth potentials. They will also often join financially stable companies, which can afford to provide employees with very good remuneration packages, and large amounts of freedom for instance, in pure R&D R & D departments . Once the company begins to decline, many of the top employees will want to leave for greener pastures, while the poor performing employees who may have a difficult time finding employment will cling to their jobs, radically speeding the decline. Companies will occasionally implement forced retention policies to try to stem the brain drain .
