Improvement, balancing potential with materiality

The role of process development is to balance the timeline and material requirements of the project with the need to develop a commercially viable method for the preparation of the drug candidate. This stage of the drug development process will concentrate on such issues as (l)synthetic strategy, improvement of individual reaction yields, (3) identification and use of commercially available raw materials and reagents, (4)evaluationof alternative solvent systems, (5) compatibility of process conditions with existing manufaetur-ing assets, identification and quantification of potential process safety hazards, (7) simplification of purification methods, (8) evaluation of process waste streams, and (9) the improvement of the overall process economics. 

Thermodynamic equilibrium is found by balancing chemical potentials, where the chemical potentials of condensed species are just functions of pressure and temperature, while the potentials of gaseous species also depend on concentrations. In order to solve for the ehemical potentials, it is necessary to know the pressure-volume relations for species that are important products in detonation. Moreover, it is necessary to know these relations at the high pressures and temperatures that typically characterize the CJ state. Thus, there is a need for improved high-pressure equations of state for fluids, particularly for molecular fluid mixtures. The exponential-6 (exp-6) potential model defines the energy of interaction of a classical fluid composed of identical spherical particles. This model has been used with considerable success to describe the equation of state of many materials over a wide range of pressure and temperature[36]. 

Chemistry lies near the heart of many matters of public concern, such as improvement of health care, conservation of natural resources, protection of the environment, and the supply of energy needed to keep society running. Using chemistry, we have discovered and continually improved upon pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and pesticides, plastics, solar panels, LEDs, and building materials. We have also discovered that some chemicals are potentially harmful to our health or the environment. This means that we must be sure that the materials with which we come into contact are safe. As a citizen and consumer, it is in your best interest to understand the effects, both positive and negative, that chemicals can have, and to arrive at a balanced outlook regarding their uses. 

Part of the art in dehning activities for activity-based costing and other applications is to balance the potential for improvement with the materiality of the activity. For example, if this is a new supply chain, then partners might want to focus on the activities most likely to put the venture at risk. This can involve a technology innovation in supply chain processes or products, or assumptions about market penetration and the channels needed to maximize sales.

In accord with the described features the MEIS modifications gradually improved. Whereas in their first variants the admissible values of objective functions were limited only by the conditions of material and energy balances, monotonicity of entropy and thermodynamic potentials, yet in the first years of their application they started to include the constraints on possible values and limiting change of certain intensive parameters, quantities of reaction mix components and energy. The capabilities of MEIS increased sharply after the modules...
