The use of state-selective chemistry has been an experimental tool to elucidate the dynamics of chemical reactions, but its appHcation to practical chemical process control to enhance yields of specific products is ia the developmental stage. 

What are the benefits of professional development mentoring The main and most obvious benefit is the mentees acquisition of an important type of competency, intended to enhance business performance. Furthermore, although mentoring might not be the only developmental tool employed in this type of scheme, receiving one-to-one attention is likely to enable...

Because these systems function to maintain homeostasis, it is reasonable to presume that environmentally induced programming of the SNS and HPA axis may be part of an adaptive mechanism to enhance offspring survival. It is also conceivable that altered developmental programming of the SNS and HPA may become misguided under certain... 

A dedicated automation specialist or group with necessary skill sets (analytical chemistry, computer literacy, and instrumentation) able to devote sufficient time to automation implementation is critical to take a project to fruition. The success of a robotics program can be enhanced greatly by making it accessible to a large population. Thus, it is essential for automation specialists to work closely with every analytical area to develop and validate automated methods for developmental products. After the technology is well established, the specialists can return to their operating areas. 

Significant concentrations of cyanotoxins have been found to accumulate in the tissues of macroinvertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans, presenting an indirect route of exposure for invertebrates, fish, and aquatic mammals at higher trophic levels (Negri and Jones 1995). In natural systems, mortality among benthic invertebrate herbivores is probably low because most bloom-forming bacteria are planktonic and only periodically come into contact with the benthos. Nevertheless, Kotak et al. (1996) determined that enhanced mortality of snails at the end of a bloom cycle in Canadian lakes was due to consumption of Microcystis cells that had formed a scum on the surface of macrophytes. Oberemm et al. (1999) found that aqueous microcystins, saxitoxins, and anatoxin-a all resulted in developmental delays in fish and salamander embryos. Interestingly, more severe malformations and enhanced mortality were observed when larvae were exposed to crude cyanobacterial extracts than to pure toxins applied at natural concentrations (Oberemm et al. 1999).
