Within these constraints, private-sector plan sponsors are relatively free to establish, maintain, and modify their plans as regulated by ERISA. By contrast, the basic features of public employee plansâeligibility, contributions, types of beneï¬ ts, etc.âare often spelled out in statutes or. in local ordinances.

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.
