Increasing knowledge is undertaken through a global R D network with academic centers and companies worldwide, as well as in-licensing opportunities for novel technologies, which complement their own R D capabilities. 

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and pulsed electric fields (PEFs) are rather novel technologies where relatively little research has been carried out. These methods have mostly been tested in combination with other decontamination methods and also mostly on either microorganisms in vitro or on foods of animal origin (e.g. milk, eggs and meat) (Raso and Barbosa-Canovas, 2003 Ross et al., 2003). More research is needed in order to find out if such methods are applicable to the fresh produce industry.

Partial oxidation is also mentioned as a process to convert ethanol to hydrogen.124 Another novel technology for ethanol to hydrogen has been described by Toci and Modica.125 It is based on cracking ethanol vapors by "cold-plasma-chemical processing" in the presence of a Ni-based catalyst. 

Production of hydrogen is at a pressure level where further purification can be effectuated with existing (PSA) and novel technologies (membranes).

Mario has co-invented a number of novel technologies, some of which have been commercialized. He is author of the management books Scenario Qualita and Lean Banking and co-author of The Future of Glycerol (RSC Publishing, 2008) and Flexible Solar Cells (Wiley-VCH,... 

For combined hydrogen production and C02 capture several novel technologies are in development, most of them for the application in a pre-combustion C02 capture combined cycle. The main focus is to reduce the efficiency penalties and other associated costs of CO2 capture. The most important technologies in the R D phase, membrane reactors and sorption-enhanced reactors, are described below, with special attention paid to the catalytic aspects. 

This article is an overview of the novel technology of self-reinforced LCPs with polyesters, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene naphtha-late) (PEN) [10-13, 21, 23], LCP/polyester blends in a polyester matrix form in situ fibrils which improve the mechanical properties. LCPs have an inherently low melt viscosity, and provide LCP/polyester blends that effectively lower the melt viscosity during melt spinning [24], and fast injection-molding cycles. The miscibility between the LCP and polyesters can be controlled by the degree of transesterification [25] in the reactive extrusion step, and fibril formation in LCP-reinforced polyester fibers has been studied. 

In this chapter, basic characteristics of major drug transporters and their pre-clinical/clinical implications are discussed. During the past 10 years, molecular information on each transporter has been organized. Novel technologies and various useful public databases such as SNP have improved our understanding... 

The key effect of oxide supports on the catalytic activities of metal particles is exerted through the interface between oxides and metal particles. The key objective of this study is to develop synthesis methodologies for tailoring this interface. Here, an SSG approach was introduced to modify the surface of mesoporous silica materials with ultrathin films of titanium oxide so that the uniform deposition of gold precursors on ordered mesoporous silica materials by DP could be achieved without the constraint of the low lEP of silica. The surface sol-gel process was originally developed by Kunitake and coworkers.This novel technology enables molecular-scale control of film thickness over a large 2-D substrate area and can be viewed as a solution-based...
