Gaining a Foothold The

In recent years, the automatic regulation of processes has steadily gained a foothold ia the brewiag iadustry. The aim has beea to produce beer with a better and more even quahty and at lower costs. Today, with new equipment and experience ia automatioa within the process iadustry, it is possible to build an advanced automatic system for the brewiag iadustry. Many factors influence the level of automation needed, and judgment must be used to decide what is best for optimum profit. 

Subcase bl This case is encountered, for example, when batch records from different production campaigns are compared and the same number of samples was analyzed in each campaign. (Note under GMP, trend analysis has to be performed regularly to stop a process from slowly, over many batches, drifting into a situation where each parameter on its own is within specifications, but collectively there is the risk of sudden, global loss of control. Catastrophe theory has gained a foothold in physical and biological literature to describe such situations cf. Section 4.14.)... 

To increase their specialty sectors as fast as possible, the leaders of large companies found it more expedient to do so through acquisitions. The prices paid for the most interesting purchases can be considered high because, very often, they amounted to fifteen to twenty times the profits. But the financial sacrifices made by the buyers seemed worthwhile, for they gained a foothold in the market without the long preliminary work that would otherwise have been needed. 

There will be an expansion of the domestic market as the supermarkets start to seriously trade in organic product and a critical mass of organic processors gain a foothold. Longer term contracts will assist in providing opportunities for larger conversions to take place. Investors looking for export opportunities will be keen to see an expansion of the domestic market to enable them to maintain a fallback position should the export market fail for their product. 

A Patterson map, different for each space group, is a unique puzzle that must be solved to gain a foothold on the phase problem. It is by finding the absolute atomic coordinates of a heavy atom, for both small molecule and macromolecular crystals, that initial estimates (later to be improved upon) can be obtained for the phases of the structure factors needed to calculate an electron density map. 

Haber tried once more to gain a foothold in academia. In the fall of 1891, Haber returned to university, this time in Zurich, but... 

In the late 1980s, the use of cellulase enzymes began as an alternative to stones. Cellulase gained a foothold in the industry by producing the softness and appearance of jeans washed with pumice stones, but without the problems of stones. The availability of cellulase at costs competitive with stones in early 1990 led to the widespread adoption of cellulase use by the industry. Today, cellulase is used all over the world in this appHcation, sometimes alone and sometimes with some stones present. 

While 42 foods have been cleared by 36 countries for irradiation to date and 19 of these countries are irradiating 20 food items commercially, food irradiation around the world still faces a number of uphill hurdles which must be overcome before it can gain a foothold in the consumer market. These include (a) clear indication of industry interest and need in using a particular application (b) positive demonstration of economic feasibility ... 

The starter motor was a high-speed d.c. motor with a speed reduction ratio of about 50 1 to the crankshaft of the combustion engine, and this is the method still used today. Given that the start routine is very short, both the battery and starter motor have, over the years, undergone a complete optimization to obtain the best possible torque for the lowest possible manufacturing costs. As a result, no other system has yet gained a foothold in series-manufactured vehicles. 

The larger species of earthworms common in the United States and Europe, such as Lumbricus terrestris, have a length of up to about 25 cm. Other smaller, and usually more abundant forms, may be only one-tenth this long. In weight, the variation may be from about 0.05 to 5.0 g per animal. Walton (1935) states that in Africa, Ceylon, and Australia earthworms have been found that are 3—9 ft. long. Fortunately, they have not gained a foothold elsewhere. For more information on the characteristics of the various species and their activities reference should be made to Kevan (1955, 1962), Satchell (1958, 1967), Barley (1961), Kiihnelt (1961), Russell (1961) and Doeksen and Van der Drift... 

Competition for adhesion sites Beneficial bacteria can attach to the gut wall and form colonies at various sites throughout the gut. This prevents pathogenic bacteria from gaining a foothold, resulting in their expulsion from the body. 

The ultimate challenge for NIOSH is to not only effectively control occupational diseases and injuries that are the remnants of the last century, but also to preempt new hazardous exposures and conditions from gaining a foothold in the new century," said Halperin and Howard.
