Table 21.2 Cymoxanil - use against plant diseases of high market significance.

Another fungicide of high market significance with efficacy mainly against Oomycetes is fosetyl-aluminium. It was developed by Rhone-Poulenc, now Bayer CropScience. The first market introduction was in 1977. 

Fosetyl-aluminium is mainly used in grapes, vegetables, citrus and tropical fruits such as pineapple. The use of fosetyl-aluminium to control the plant diseases of the highest market significance are listed in Table 21.4 [27]. 

High-temperature ceramic superconductors, which would fall into the category of advanced ceramics, are not presently a major market area. They constitute less than 1% of the advanced ceramics market. Significant growth has been predicted because of their increased use in microwave filters and resonators, with particular application in the area of cell phones. 

Berg, J.E. Nelson, F.D. and Rietz, T.A. (2008) Prediction market accuracy in the long run . International Journal of Forecasting, 24 285-300. The authors gathered national polls for the 1998 through 2004 U.S. Presidential elections and ask[ed] whether either the poll or a contemporaneous Iowa Electronic Markets vote-share market prediction [was] closer to the eventual outcome for the two-major-party vote split.

More recently, as a result of significant developments in ink chemistry, UV curable inks for thermal inkjet print systems have been introduced to the market. Significant technical challenges have been overcome to manage chemical stability and materials compatibility in order to develop reliable UV curable inks for thermal inkjet technology. These latest developments further strengthen the proposition for inkjet as a reliable, accurate and cost effective deposition tool for the high speed deposition of fluids onto non-porous substrates.
