Technology managers should include the following elements in the plan itself the critical business issues the nature of markets and customers the thmsts of traditional and potential competitors the human resource issues, ie, the skills and abiUties needed to carry out the plan alternatives and contingencies to support the plan a patent and intellectual property strategy and the supporting faciUties and resource plan.

Standard 2x2 contingency tables(2 ) are used to determine the odds of observing the bioassay outcome if the null hypothesis is true using Fisher s exact test. For all adverse effects, including cancer, the first rule of the strategy for deciding whether a substance is toxic is to ...

Further work needs to systematically examine the kinds of discursive strategies that are used by stakeholders in their efforts to frame issues within the news media. In doing so, there is a need to go beyond a media-centred approach to consider the complexities and contingencies of social processes and the wider play of political power.
