An American company, North Pacific Paper Company, complained to the Commerce Department that Canadian manufacturers were harming their business by selling newsprint at noncompetitively low prices.

Cardiomyopathy can lead to sudden cardiac death after vigorous exercise, and people with the condition are usually urged to stop competitive athletics and to take care when exercising even noncompetitively.

Another alarming finding is that nearly 50 percent of contracts were awarded noncompetitively, meaning the DOD did not seek out alternative, cost-effective contractors that may have done higher quality work less expensively.

This worst-case scenario is a real possibility because the CMS is using payment information based on bidding that did not take place in those areas and where costs of providing products to Medicare beneficiaries may be very different and unrepresentative of noncompetitively bid areas.

By retroactively correcting cuts that took effect on July 1, and allowing an extended phase-in of the cuts instead, Congress will have more time to evaluate the effects of rate reductions on beneficiary access, while addressing the underlying issues with DMEPOS reimbursement in noncompetitively bid areas.

The methylcitrate cycle is found in many microorganisms. Methylisocitrate lyase plays a regulatory function in this cycle; it is activated by NAD but inhibited noncompetitively by NADH and NADPH.

Additionally, gliotoxin acts as an inhibitor of farnesyl transferase. It noncompetitively inhibits the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome. In vivo gliotoxin displays anti-inflammatory activity. It was investigated as an antibiotic and antifungal in the 1940s and as an antiviral agent.

CHS is noncompetitively inhibited by flavanoid pathway products such as naringenin and chalcone naringenin. Despite lack of direct evidence in vivo, flavonoids are believed to accumulate in the cytosol to a level that blocks CHS activity to avoid toxic levels in plants.

Echinocandins noncompetitively inhibit beta-1,3-D-glucan synthase enzyme complex in susceptible fungi to disturb fungal cell glucan synthesis. Beta-glucan destruction prevents resistance against osmotic forces, which leads to cell lysis. They have fungistatic activity against Aspergillus species. and fungicidal activity against most Candida spp.

OSI-7904 is a noncompetitive liposomal thymidylate synthase inhibitor. OSI-7904 is a benzoquinazoline folate analog with antineoplastic activity. As a thymidylate synthase inhibitor, OSI-7904 noncompetitively binds to thymidylate synthase, resulting in inhibition of thymine nucleotide synthesis and DNA replication. OSI-7904L is a liposome-encapsulated formulation of OSI-7904.

Lewis W, Simpson JF, Meyer RR. Cardiac mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma is inhibited competitively and noncompetitively by phosphorylated zidovudine. Circ Res 1994;74:344–8. Protease inhibitors are another group of drugs (e.g. ritonavir) and some of them can cause a range of problems such as: lipodystrophy, atherosclerosis, increase total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, and insulin resistance.

Vaulting is sometimes described as gymnastics and dance on horseback, which can be practiced both competitively or noncompetitively. Vaulting is a great tool for both physical and mental health, and children are taught to completely trust the horse they are riding when performing vaulting routines. The vaulting program held by HHH consists of a competitive team of children who practice on a wooden horse, until they can afford to buy a horse for the program.

Alternatively, some reuptake inhibitors bind to allosteric sites and inhibit reuptake indirectly and noncompetitively. Phencyclidine and related drugs such as benocyclidine, tenocyclidine, ketamine, and dizocilpine (MK-801), have been shown to inhibit the reuptake of the monoamine neurotransmitters. They appear to exert their reuptake inhibition by binding to vaguely characterized allosteric sites on each of the respective monoamine transporters. Benztropine, mazindol, and vanoxerine also bind to these sites and have similar properties.

The main role of SDH is to create pyruvate that can be converted into free glucose. And glucagon gives the signal to repress gluconeogenesis and increase the amount of free glucose in the blood by releasing glycogen stores from the liver. Homocysteine, a compound that SDH combines with Serine to create cystathionine, also noncompetitively inhibits the action of SDH. Studies have shown that homocysteine reacts with SDH's PLP coenzyme to create a complex.

It also noncompetitively inhibits NMDA receptors. CNQX is thus used to isolate GABAA receptor mediated spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents. The actions of CNQX on the frequency of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents are independent of their actions at ionotropic glutamate receptors. Although the EC50 value of CNQX on the frequency of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents is similar to the IC50 value on kainate receptors, the blockade of kainate receptors is not responsible for the actions of CNQX.

Remacemide binds weakly and noncompetitively to the ionic channel site of the NMDA receptor complex. Remacemide binds both allosterically and in the channel. However, because remacemide binds so weakly to NMDAR, much of remacemide's in vivo effect against excitotoxicity is thought to be caused by its metabolic transformation to the more potent desglycine derivative FPL 12495. That is, remacemide may actually act as a prodrug to deliver the active metabolite FPL 12495 to the central nervous system.

Levamisole reversibly and noncompetitively inhibits most isoforms of alkaline phosphatase (e.g., human liver, bone, kidney, and spleen) except the intestinal and placental isoform. It is thus used as an inhibitor along with substrate to reduce background alkaline phosphatase activity in biomedical assays involving detection signal amplification by intestinal alkaline phosphatase, for example in in situ hybridization or Western blot protocols. It is used to immobilize the nematode C. elegans on glass slides for imaging and dissection.

Jatrorrhizine has been reported to have antiinflammatory effect, and to improve blood flow and mitotic activity in thioacetamide- traumatized rat livers. It was found to have antimicrobial and antifungal activity. It binds and noncompetitively inhibits monoamine oxidase (IC50 = 4 μM for MAO-A and 62 μM for MAO-B) It interferes with multidrug resistance by cancer cells in vitro when exposed to a chemotherapeutic agent. Large doses (50–100 mg/kg) reduced blood sugar levels in mice by increasing aerobic glycolysis.

In 2015 the team was relegated to second division, but it was promoted again the following year, remaining in the first division since then. Other popular sports include basketball, tennis, bicycling, and motor sports. During the local festivals every June, the town celebrates the "day of the bicycle" whereupon tens of thousands of locals bike through the streets of Getafe noncompetitively. Another important sports event is the Getafe Marathon, which is held every January and which attracts a large number of athletes.

Fellows participating in the PMF Leadership Development Program (PMF LDP) three day on-site in the Indian Treaty Room of the White House Complex. Fellows are hired at the civil service ranks of GS-09, GS-11, or GS-12 (or equivalent pay band, depending on agency) with Excepted Service appointment status at the beginning of the Fellowship. Following satisfactory completion of each year of the Fellowship, Fellows are eligible for promotion to the next GS level (or equivalent pay band, depending on agency) but cannot be promoted higher than GS-13 during the Fellowship. After successful completion of the Fellowship, agencies may noncompetitively appoint Fellows to permanent positions and grant Fellows career or career-conditional status.

Schedule C and other appointees sometimes attempt to transfer to a career position in the competitive service, excepted service, or Senior Executive Service; this practice, known as "burrowing in", is desired by employees due to increased pay and job security, as career positions do not end when a presidential administration changes. As these appointed positions are selected noncompetitively, while career employees are supposed to be selected on the basis of merit and without political influence, these conversions are subject to extra scrutiny. In July 2008, members of Congress criticized the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice for improperly allowing political employees to convert to career positions. Since 2010, such conversions require advance approval from OPM, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) periodically audits the conversions.
