Invitations

Advisers must be selected based on their knowledge, experience or other skill-based qualification that will allow the objectives of the advisory board to be met. They must not be selected on the basis of their history of, or potential for, prescribing the pharmaceutical company s products. 

The number of advisers/consultants selected for any one advisory board meeting should not be too numerous, both for the sake of efficiency and from an ethical perspective. A large number of invitees may give the impression that the company is pursuing commercial objectives. The number invited should therefore be limited to a number that could reasonably contribute in an interactive forum. This number is not specified in most countries Canada is an exception, however, and specifies a maximum of 20 advisers/consultants. 

If the disease area involves different specialities or professions, representation from the various groups should be considered. 

Invitations must make it clear that they are invitations to participate in an advisory board. The objectives of the meeting and what the adviser is expected to do at the meeting should be made clear. It is good practice to include an agenda. 

Although the advisory board is not promotional (if it is organised correctly), the initial invitation is considered promotional, in the same way as any mailing to a healthcare professional is, because the invitee may ultimately not want to be on the advisory board.

In the fall of 1976 I had a call from a friend, Sid Benson, who, after a decade at the Stanford Research Institute, just returned to the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. He invited me for a visit, telling me about USC s plans to build up seleeted programs, ineluding chemistry. I visited USC and found it, with its close to downtown urban campus, quite different from the sprawling expanse of the eross-town eampus of UCLA, whieh I had visited on a number of oe-... 

Winning the Nobel Prize inevitably brings with it, besides a brief period of wider publicity (which in America evaporates particularly fast), a steady stream of invitations, varied honors and recognitions, as well as more general public involvement. Professors and scientists in American life are usually not exactly at the top of the social ladder, nor are they used to much recognition. Personally, I rather like this, because it helps not to attach overgrown significance to one s importance, keeps one humanized, and, most important, allows one to stay centered without much distraction from one s work. It was, therefore,...

Before deciding on a LIMS product, a complete set of specifications for required functions of the LIMS should be written. The best time to do this is before any vendors have been contacted. Inviting vendors to participate in this process results in a specification which can be automatically fiilfilled by their product. A thorough understanding of current data management processes is necessary to draw up a specification (17), and vendors do not have it. 

Electrophilic attack on ring heteroatoms ties up an electron pair (which may have been engaged in resonance in the parent species) and confers positive charge on the system, thereby inviting nucleophilic attack or elimination reactions to follow. In small systems the primary product is usually quite unstable. Nucleophilic attack on protonated or Lewis acid-coordinated species will be treated below (Section 5.2.7), because it is not always clear whether such reactions are preceded by an electrophilic step (e.g. protonation) or not. 

Protonation or Lewis acid complexation of a heteroatom invites nucleophilic attack, including nucleophilic attack by a parent molecule. Oligomerization and polymerization are thus often the results of bringing heterocycles into an acid environment without making sure that all of the potentially nucleophilic sites are protonated. 

The organizing committee extends a cordial invitation to participate in International conference on Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Analysis (AC CA-05) which is hold in scenic city of Kyiv, Ukraine, from. Septemher 12 to 18,2005. Tills conference belongs to die series of Ukrainian conferences in analytical chemistry established in 1970 by Ukrainian chemical society and chemical division of Ukrainian Academy of. Sciences. AC CA-05 is a 7 conference in analytical chemistry in Ukraine and it is dedicated to the centenary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist, Anatoly K. Babko for his expertise in analytical chemistry and in the chemistry of complex compounds. Tlie current conference is organised by Analytical Scientific Council at Academy of Sciences of Ukraine under collaboration with European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuClicMS) and sponsored by Intemational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) and by the Intemational Association for the Promotion of Co-operation with Scientists from the New Independent States of the Eormer Soviet Union (INTAS). 

All main aspects of analytical and bioanalytical sciences is covered by the conference program. AC CA-05 consists of 12 invited lectures and seven symposia General Aspects of Analytical Chemistry, Analytical Methods, Objects of the Analysis,. Sensors and Tests, Separation and Pre-concentration, Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, History and Methodology of Analytical Chemistry. Conference program includes two special symposia Memorial one, dedicated to Anatoly Babko and Analytical Russian-Germany-Ukrainian symposium (ARGUS-9).

Lost opportunities - This category of quality cost is impossible to quantify accurately. It refers to the rejection of a company product due to a history of poor quality and service, hence the company is not invited to bid for future contracts because of a damaged reputation. 

To bring ourselves up-to-speed we attended seminars, talked to companies and municipalities with GIS projects, and invited vendors for presentations. Here is what we finally decided upon. 

When run, the program invites the user to seleet a point in the graphies window, whieh may be used to find the value of A" when ( = 0.25.
