Production and marketing

The production of Vin Santo over the years has become an increasingly specialized market, which is still characterized by both low production and few producers. Although sales of Vin Santo are not quantitatively comparable to those of the majority of wines, production of Vin Santo has increased significantly over the past decade, following the general increase in demand for sweet wines. From market surveys and from data from the major wineries, it has been estimated that in the period 2000-2005 the demand for sweet wines increased by 20% (Scienza, 2006). The demand to date has remained high, and market analysts expect a further medium term increase especially for the more specific productions. As a result of this trend, over the past few years, many wineries have decided to use this product as a showcase for the company, and thus to invest in Vin Santo (Misuri, 2006). 

However, as a result of the overall low-production of Vin Santo and its split into different denominations in wine growing areas of central and northern Italy, it is very difficult to find complete information on the production of this wine through the years. Moreover, in the official statistics of wine import and export, Vin Santo and other passito wines are not counted separately, but instead together within the class of all other high-quality wines (Vqprd and Vlqprd). 

even though the official overall data on Vin Santo are lacking, it is however estimated that to date, the production for Tuscany far outweighs that for the rest of Italy, as it represents almost all of the commercial production of Vin Santo. 

Considering the Vin Santo produced inside all of the different Tuscany denominations, 5-6 years ago there was a doubling in production, which is currently maintained at just below 400,000 L per year (Fig. 3.4). 

Similarly, the production of the rare occhio di pernice style has increased over these years, with a share that has grown from some 5% to 8% with

Laminated Strand Products. The most recent developments in the family of wood-based composites are a group of laminated strand products, made with strands oriented in the long direction of the product and marketed as stmctural composite lumber. One product is made with long, narrow strips of softwood veneer. The strips or strands are about 2.5 x 13 x 600 mm (0.1 x 0.5 x 24 in.), coated with a PRE adhesive, and pressed under heat and pressure into large blocks. After the resin is cured the blocks are resawn and planed into lumber dimension stock. 

A subsidiary of lEC and Toshiba Corp. called ONSI Corp. was formed for the commercial development, production, and marketing of packaged PAEC power plants of up to 1-MW capacities. ONSI is commercially manufacturing 200-kW PAEC systems for use in a PC25 power plant. The power plants are manufactured in a highly automated faciHty, using robotic techniques to assemble the repeating electrode, bipolar separator, etc, units into the fuel cell stack.

Nuts and Nut Products. Nuts are used mainly as edible products and marketed either with or without the shell, as the demand requites. The most popular nuts ia the shell are English walnut, filbert, almond, Brazil nut, peanut, pistachio, and the improved, or paper-shell, pecan the most popular salted and roasted nut kernels iaclude these as well as the cashew, macadamia, and pignofla. Each year more nuts are shelled ia ceatraHy located plants and marketed as meats. The annual per capita consumption of shelled tree nuts ia the United States rose from 0.78 kg in 1987 to 1.00 kg in 1992 (132). 

The current chemical demand for propylene is a little over one half that for ethylene. This is somewhat surprising because the added complexity of the propylene molecule (due to presence of a methyl group) should permit a wider spectrum of end products and markets. However, such a difference can lead to the production of undesirable by-products, and it frequently does. This may explain the relatively limited use of propylene in comparison to ethylene. Nevertheless, many important chemicals are produced from propylene. 

IDs are essential to all industries that relate to research, engineering, production, and marketing activities. They must exercise the creativity imagination that sets them apart from being a mere modifier of what the competition offers. There is a difference between IDs and other professions whose functions are sometimes confused with those of IDs. The true artist, for instance, produces a personal interpretation of what one feels and creates the final object alone. The IDs do not ...

In one procedure that has been widely used, the sample, after suitable treatment, is refluxed with sodium and isopropyl alcohol, after which the solution is diluted with water and the inorganic chloride is determined by standard methods (13, 54) The method has been adopted by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists 29, 30) as a tentative one for technical DDT and for dusts, oil solutions, and aqueous emulsions of DDT, for use in the absence of other chlorine-containing compounds. The National Association of Insecticide and Disinfectant Manufacturers has also accepted the total-chlorine method for the analysis of these preparations 28). Essentially the same procedures have been described by Donovan 22), of the Insecticide Division of the Production and Marketing Administration, for technical DDT and various commercial DDT products containing no other compounds interfering with the chlorine determination. 

A number of official samples have been analyzed in the insecticide laboratory of the Production and Marketing Administration, which contained among the active ingredients 7-benzene hexachloride, DDT, and sulfur in the proportions of 3, 5, and 57%, respectively. The following detailed procedure was adopted after testing with authentic formulations of this type. 

However, the two laws are similar in that they both apply to imported substances. In addition, they apply only to the production and marketing of new substances for commercial purposes.( )... 

Second, EPA could issue rules under S 8(a) to require periodic reports concerning the commercial development of certain new substances once they enter production. Unlike SNUR s, S 8(a) requirements would not prevent companies from continuing their production and marketing activities. Rather, EPA would review information contained in the 8(a) reports, and then could pursue control actions under its other TSCA authorities for regulating existing chemicals (i.e. 4 test rules, or 6(a) "unreasonable risk" regulat ions). 

Several years ago, ICI ETB looked at the total market for chlor-alkali membrane technology and considered how to develop an electrolyser that would extend its product and market range. A detailed analysis was carried out and many chlor-alkali producers were consulted. As a result of this work ICI ETB has developed an electrolyser called BiChlor. 

Licensing may come sometime, Campbell wrote after the new law had gone into effect, but the climate was not right for it in 1938 (90). "Meanwhile, there seems no alternative. . . except to undertake, through the gradual development of powers that have been conferred upon us by. . . section 505 and the authority to make factory inspections, a more effective regulation of the production and marketing of pharmaceutical products than was possible under the old statute.. .."...
