Results of research

The conclusions presented above are confirmed by the answer to another question how do the respondents perceive supply chain management Most responses pertained to internal process excellence or directly (apparently in relation to the very name of the concepts) to customer supplies. Table 2.9 presents how the researched companies interpreted the SCM notion. 

As to what constitutes the main barrier to supply chain management, the respondents most often indicated the wide scale of process outsourcing (31% of respondents). This may mean that outsourcing is not only related to the limited influence on the outsourced process and to the loss of control the company has over that process. Another significant barrier to supply chain proficiency is limited access to information. In the context of the indicated dynamic development of ICT 

Economies ot soale and improvement of quaiity of operation for the company and its partners Increase in profits and leadership In the sector thanks to active supply chain collaboration  

Various company levels - directors, managers and employees 29% 

Most often specialists and selected area (process) managers are involved in the achievement of the objectives. This was confirmed hy 57 per cent of analysed companies. Approximately one-third of respondents extended the supply chain excellence concept across the entire organisation. On the other hand, only 5 per cent of respondents stated that the representatives of coUahorators were involved in the achievement of supply chain objectives. A lack of involvement of all employees or collaborators may corroborate earlier conclusions on the concentration on integration

Carbon. Most of the Earth s supply of carbon is stored in carbonate rocks in the Hthosphere. Normally the circulation rate for Hthospheric carbon is slow compared with that of carbon between the atmosphere and biosphere. The carbon cycle has received much attention in recent years as a result of research into the possible relation between increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, most of which is produced by combustion of fossil fuel, and the "greenhouse effect," or global warming. Extensive research has been done on the rate at which carbon dioxide might be converted to cellulose and other photosyntheticaHy produced organic compounds by various forms of natural and cultivated plants. Estimates also have been made of the rate at which carbon dioxide is released to soil under optimum conditions by various kinds of plant cover, such as temperature-zone deciduous forests, cultivated farm crops, prairie grassland, and desert vegetation.

Further details and specialized information on the mechanisms, product qualities, and proce.sses applied to the heating of coal in solvents can be found in the abundant literature [20]. What follows are some of the results of research conducted at West Virginia University, where investigations of the conversion of coal into pitches suitable for graphite production have been carried out... 

Market failure arguments exist for government aid to some forms of research. Since the results of research are so broadly disseminated, it may be prohibitively expensive for private investors to charge the users of their discoveries. Thus the inventors are undercompensated, and underexpenditure arises unless the government provides aid. In addition, some theorists contend (and others deny) that governments are more farsighted than private firms. 

The results of research into the fluidised bed pyrolysis of plastic wastes are reported, with reference to determining the optimum process conditions for the process with respect to the reactor behaviour. The study investigates the effects of process variables such as bed temperature, polymer feed rate, bed hold-up, fluidising velocity, and size of inert material. Findings illustrate the importance of the knowledge of the hydrodynamics of the fluidised bed and of the interactions between bed and polymer particles in the design and operation of the reactor. 15 refs. 

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) and saxitoxin (STX) are potent sodium channel blockers that are found in phylogenetically diverse species of marine life. The wide distribution of TTX and STX has resulted in speculation that bacteria are the source of these toxins. Recently, investigators have reported isolation of marine bacteria, including Vibrio Alteromonas, Plesiomonas, and Pseudomonas species, that produce TTX and STX. This chapter details the methods and results of research to define bacterial sources of TTX and STX. 

Although basic scientific research deals with variation and its sources, the results of research work are mainly described and compared in terms of mean values supplemented with information about whether specific factors have a significant impact or not. Most research studies focus on individual factors in isolation and there are limited data in the literature on the interaction of a number of factors, particularly in relation to on-farm production practice. Consequently, the meaningfulness of previous results is often limited and often does not allow general conclusions to be drawn. As the relevance of the various factors changes between different production systems it is even more difficult to assess the ranking position of each factor within each production system in relation to the variation of product and process quality traits. 

Problems of the metal-air batteries and air electrode are considered. Results of research, design work and development of the air - Zn primary and air-Al mechanically rechargeable batteries, as well as electrically rechargeable electrodes are presented.

While the student is being educated in preparative work it is necessary for him to acquire some knowledge of the incessant progress in the methods of organic chemistry and at the same time to become familiar with the most recent results of research work. For these reasons a series of changes had to be made when this new edition was prepared. In order not to increase the bulk of the book these objects have been attained by sacrificing examples (e.g. lino-lenic acid, crystal violet, Gattermann-Koch aldehyde synthesis) with which, from this point of view, it seemed possible to dispense. 

A comprehensive review of work on the absorption of carbon dioxide by alkaline solutions has been carried out by Danckwerts and Siiarma(43) who applied results of research to the design of industrial scale equipment. Subsequently, Sahay and Sharma(44) showed that the mass transfer coefficient may be correlated with the gas and liquid rates and the gas and liquid compositions by ... 

The resist materials that have emerged from these studies are the first examples of resist materials tailored specifically for use in the microelectronics industry. They are specialty polymers that are produced in very low volumes, and have been developed as a result of research carried out in industrial laboratories. In the following sections, we will examine the chemistry of selected examples of these new systems. 

Both authors and publishers have ethical obligations. In publication of the results of research, the investigators are obliged to preserve the accuracy of the results. Negative as well as positive results should be published or otherwise publicly available. Sources of funding, institutional affiliations and any possible conflicts of interest should be declared in the publication. Reports of experimentation not in accordance with the... 

It is almost presumptuous for me to present a paper at the quarter point of this S3nnposium on Seafood Toxins on the subject "Where Do We Go From Here " This morning, we heard a number of fine presentations on the need for and the results of research on seafood toxins. We will learn even more in the three remaining half-day sessions. Please let me share with you the observations and reflections of a chemist with a long time interest in toxicology, who has also experienced the difficulties and frustrations of investigating seafood toxins. 

Rates for the incidence of end stage renal disease have increased for which hypertension is the second most common cause. It has also been stated that hypertension control rates have not continued to improve (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, NHANES III, Phase 1) from 1991 to 1994. These disturbing trends support the need to enhance public and professional education and to translate the results of research into improved health. 

This book deals with a subject that is both fascinating and vitally important for the pharmaceutical industry—the procedures of transferring the results of research and development (R D) obtained on laboratory scale to the pilot plant and finally to production scale. 

The current sulfur-asphalt technologies are the result of research and development carried out since the late 1960 s, but the sulfur-asphalt concept is far from new. The foundation was laid in the 1930 s by Bencowitz 9) and his co-workers who produced and patented sulfur-asphalt mixtures which had several advantages over regular asphalt. 

We have described the need for a device that could assist a compromised liver or even serve as a bridge until a transplant became available. We have compared the properties of an ideal scaffold for such a device with the structure of a reticulated foam and reported results of research into its use. Lastly, we have postulated improvements in current research that could lead to an efficacious solution. 

The evidence for the reality of atoms, provided by the Brownian movement, was greatly strengthened by the results of research in radioactivity and x-rays. By means of interference phenomena, which occur when x-rays fall on a crystal, it is possible to determine with great accuracy the position of atoms in a crystal, making it difficult to doubt any longer the reality of the atoms. 

The major current successes of the industry - blockbuster drugs for hypertension, cholesterol, depression, ulcers, and so on - are the results of research done decades ago, under the "old" binary Industry structure (Cockburn 2004). Thus, today s new drugs are the product of yesterday s R D spending and today s R D spending will contribute to output far in the future. 

If one uses a good variety of the tools and resources that have been highlighted here, that will help ensure that the results of research are balanced and comprehensive.
