The main risks associated with inappropriate conditions within the alhances are the establishment of inadequate contracts and difficulties in the sharing of complementary resources (Hitt et al, 2001). If these conditions exist, the management of the partnership should guarantee the establishment of detailed contracts and its monitoring, as well as to promote the development of the relationship based on trust. 

NTIS. Springfield, VA National Technical Information Service. The NnS database contains records for over 2,000,000 government technical reports received by NTIS since 1964. Most other databases that cover mechanical engineering content do not cover government technical reports, making NTIS a complementary resource to the other subject-specific... 

Hundred years after the discovery of Rudolph Diesel s motor, scientists evaluate the possibility to obtain alternative fuels, similar to Diesel fuel. It is well known that several fuels are chemical materials normally employed in simple and complex chemical processes. Biodiesel is comprised of esters that are derived from the transesterification of oils and fats with alcohols and has emerged in recent years as a great potential complementary resource to petroleum-based fuels and derivatives. Rudolf Diesel predicted that the use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant during his time but could become as significant as petroleum and coal-tar products in the future [10],... 

The focus of the niche strategy is specializing in capabihties needed in the ecosystem domain. Niche player advantage in the ecosystem is created by leveraging and developing the critical assets and capabilities needed in the ecosystem. One example of a niche player is the application developer for a standard platform product. The niche players are dependent on the existing solutions and develop complementary components to support the effectiveness of these solutions. The risk of the niche strategy is that the value of complementary resources and the capabihties of the niche actors depend on the success of the ecosystem platform. 

The discovery of chemical N2 fixation under ambient conditions is more compatible with a simple, complementary, low temperature and low pressure system, possibly operated electrochemically and driven by a renewable energy resource (qv), such as solar, wind, or water power, or other off-peak electrical power, located near or in irrigation streams. Such systems might produce and apply ammonia continuously, eg, directly in the rice paddy, or store it as an increasingly concentrated ammoniacal solution for later appHcation. In fact, the Birkeland-Eyde process of N2 oxidation in an electric arc has been... 

BHP Minerals International Inc. is a subsidiary of Australia-based BHP Billiton Limited, which in turn is the result of a merger between two complementary companies BHP and Billiton. BHP is a global natural resources company, with a wide spread of products including minerals, oil, gas and steel and is one of Australia s oldest and largest companies. Billiton, on the other hand is one of the world s leading mining companies. 

Intercropping is most successful when the two crops have the complementary growth and resource needs, e.g., Italian ryegrass (L. multiflorum Lam.) was too competitive with the timothy grass (Phleum pratense L.), therefore it should not be recommended as a companion crop for timothy establishment (Jefferson et al. 2000). 

A critical part of the strategy for delivery of information to the end-user is that one can anticipate marked increased usage of the more traditional, hard-copy based resources of the centralized library. The tools described here are frequently complementary to the pivotal library-based information center. What one can anticipate, however, is a much more focused use of hard-copy based information... 

The use of solar energy is complementary not alternative, to the use of biomass for energy production. In fact, reliance on a few limited sources of energy is detrimental not only to the environment but also to future economic stability. The future lies in diversification of energy sources, tailored to the requirements and resources of each country. 

It follows that biomass will play a role complementary to other resources such as electricity from nuclear and hydraulic sources, as well as relatively inexhaustible supplies of natural gas, non-conventional oil and oil sands. The end use of these forms will be dictated by a combination of historic development and technological inertia such that substitution products electricity, methanol, hydrogen, or tonnage chemicals like ammonia, will provide the major outlets for biomass carbon... 

Select five shRNA sequences for your target gene by using Web resources (see Subheading 3.1.1, step 1). As the HI promoter is used, siRNA sequences may start with any nucleotide. Design a pair of shA and shB complementary oligonucleotides for each siRNA sequence. 

One important choice we made to limit the scope of the book was to focus solely on one DFT method suitable for solids and spatially extended materials, namely plane-wave DFT. Although many of the foundations of plane-wave DFT are also relevant to complementary approaches used in the chemistry community for isolated molecules, there are enough differences in the applications of these two groups of methods that including both approaches would only have been possible by significantly expanding the scope of the book. Moreover, several resources already exist that give a practical hands-on introduction to computational chemistry calculations for molecules. 

One factor that is different from earlier transitions is the increased reliance IC manufacturers are placing on the capital equipment vendors to share some of the burden of the development costs associated with the transition to 300-mm wafers. Although this shift is complementary to the maturing capabilities of the equipment vendors, it is placing enormous strain on them. Few vendors are in a position to provide new tools, engineering support, and process support in multiple sites for upward of a year with only the promise of remaining in contention for the substantial capital equipment purchases that can justify such significant investment of resources. 

Responds as the expert resource for CDER to issues and meeting requests from the Office of the Commissioner and interfaces on common botanical issues and fosters communication with the FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). 

In addition to more sophisticated experimental methods, modem theoretical-computational tools, such as state-of-the-art DFT calculations, have greatly improved our understanding of basic electrocatalytic processes. Ever growing computational resources and more and more sophisticated algorithms raise computational methods from the role of a complementary tool to experiments to a viable alternative to experiments.
