Market drivers, natural

The monetization of remote natural gas has been a key economic driver for catalysis research over the past 20 years. Significant reserves of natural gas exist in remote locations, distant from available gas pipehnes, which cannot be readily brought to market. The conversion of these resources to higher-valued, transportable products, such as methanol or polyolefins can allow the economical utilization of these stranded assets. Other low-valued natural gas streams, such as associated gas from oil production, could also provide feedstocks to such a technology. The conversion of remote gas, typically valued at US 0.50-1.50 per MMBTU, into polyolefins, valued at more than US 1000/t, via methanol has sparked the development of several MTO technologies. 

Kelly Putters of Oregon produces a variety of putters made from catalyst-heat wood-plastics using myrtle wood and broad leaf maple which is native to the state. The light and dark wavy grains of these two woods are enhanced by the plastic treatment and have a three dimensional depth in their natural color. Several other golf club manufacturers have made small quantities of wood-plastic laminated birch and solid persimmon drivers for market studies. The dimensional stability of the wood-plastic composite is important during the manufacturing when the various face and base plates are inserted. 

The key drivers are cost and efficacy The emergence of parasite resistance has blighted most products. In some markets, the producer s response is to increase the dose or to increase the frequency of dosing, thus ultimately compounding the problem further. This completes my overview of the current market scene and how natural products have played a major role. 

The properties of fuzzy logic make it suitable for application within the conducted research presented in the work at hand. The cause-and-effect chain between an SCI and revenues is determined by the value driver customer satisfaction and, thus, is of a qualitative nature. Fuzzy logic makes it possible to utilize practical knowledge, which is based in this context in marketing, sales and logistics, to gain a quantifiable relationship. Thus, the technique of fuzzy logic is employed in a model for the determination of an SCTs revenue contribution. ...
