Determining protein quality analysis is important in food science, particularly for developing foods with targeted nutritional value, and in animal feeding and husbandry. Protein is the key component in the diet of any farmed species, particularly in aquaculture and the pet food industry, making an accurate assessment of protein utilization critically important. Protein quality analysis provides an estimate of the content and bioavailability of indispensable or dietary essential amino acids. 

The characterisation of a fruit type or variety will be reflected in the flavour profile of its volatile components. Analytical techniques can produce an accurate peak profile using gas chromatography, but in simpler terms the sensory receptors of most individuals can quickly differentiate between fruit varieties. We have four basic taste senses, sometimes described as sweet, sour, acid and bitter, and these are identified by taste receptors situated mainly on the tongue. The key component of flavour differentiation, so-called top-notes and the like, is detected not so much by taste as by aroma in the nasal cavity. Thus, during the process of eating and drinking, the release of aroma volatiles can be identified and an assessment of their value arrived at. 

One of the initial TRE procedures includes the collection and review of available data and facility specific information, as well as an evaluation of remedial actions to optimize facility operation. The key components of this preliminary assessment include an evaluation of ... 

Developing an objective assessment of the hazard that copper poses to humans and the environment depends on an intimate understanding of the bioavailability. Bioavailability, which is defined as the extent to which the metal is taken up by the organism upon exposure, depends on the species of the metal or metallo complex and/or how easily it can be transformed to a more or less bioavailable species. The key components of the environmental risk assessment paradigms include problem formulation, analysis (which includes both exposure and effects analysis) and risk characterization (WHO 1998). 

This book aims to identify and describe the key components of demand driven supply chains, and based on these components, develop a structured and integrated assessment framework that companies can use to assess their current and desired future supply chain states in light of the Demand Driven Supply Chain (DDSC) concepts, and to define a supply chain strategy to move towards a customer centric operation, cost effectively. 

Similar proprietary systems are available from other organisations such as the Brihsh Safety Council who offer a 5-star audit system. The scope of the proprietary systems has been developed after considerable experience in many businesses and cultures. They capture all of the key components for achieving superior safety performance. If an enterprise chooses an internally developed self-assessment route, then keeping a... 

Besides the use of accident trend analysis, OSHA has introduced a self-check assessment that can help determine areas of weakness within a safety culture. This assessment goes through what OSHA believes are the key components of a Safety Program. I believe that it would be difficult for a company to complete the self-assessment and find that it did not show the need for substantial improvement. 

During the nonactivated polymerization, the nonionic growth centers are formed continuously through a slow reaction between the lactam and its anion (see Equation 7.2), and their concentration is at least one order of magnitude lower than the initial concentration of the salt. The process is therefore characterized by a distinct induction period and a markedly lower rate than the activated polymerization. The key component here is the initiator, which has a crucial effect on the course of the polymerization process. On the other hand, it is an excellent kinetic tool for assessing the quality of the initiation, the purity of the system and the monomer, and the suitability of the experimental technique applied, and so on. 

Having previously introduced the key methods to determine the important variables with respect to stress and strength distributions, the most acceptable way to predict mechanical component reliability is by applying SSI theory (Dhillon, 1980). SSI analysis is one of the oldest methods to assess structural reliability, and is the most commonly used method because of its simplicity, ease and economy (Murty and Naikan, 1997 Sundararajan and Witt, 1995). It is a practical engineering tool used for quantitatively predicting the reliability of mechanical components subjected to mechanical loading (Sadlon, 1993) and has been described as a simulative model of failure (Dasgupta and Pecht, 1991).
