Define the business research and its purpose
One problem that continues to plague the aircraft industry and continues to threaten consumer's comfort and use of air travel is the issue of safety. There is a lingering perception that airplane transport is unsafe, despite the fact that traveling in an airplane is actually, statistically safer than traveling in a car. However, rather than simply combat this problem with statistics, aeronautics industry analysts are also trying to engage in practical efforts to make air travel safer. According to a 1999 national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, "to prevent some of the deaths" in what are termed "survivable" or less damaging airplane accidents, "40% of which are due to fires," new polymers are being created by scientists, the industry, and the federal government, to address some of the issues of flammability in these 'survivable' accidents. (American...
One way to combat the airplane deaths due to fires is to create new, fire-resistant materials, necessitating collaboration between airplane industry insiders, chemists, and the government. This research into new polymers targeted for aircraft safety is so critical because these new polymers are much more fire-resistant than current materials. When these new polymers are heated, "they actually produce water vapor and leave a nearly nonflammable residue." (American Chemical Society, 1999).
It is noteworthy that most of what modern aircrafts are composed of are not metal, but of polymeric substances, including "the walls, the bins, the seats, the windows, just about everything except the chair supports." (American Chemical Society, 1999). Thus, if a new, less flammable and more water-producing material could be used to construct these…

Japanese-American Biopharmaceutical Industry in the 21st Century Optimizing Ethical Drug Availability Between These Two Pharmaceutical Superpowers" The Japanese-American biopharmaceutical industry represents an ongoing international effort between the two top pharmaceutical markets in the world. These two economic powers provide consumers with a majority share of all pharmaceuticals produced in the world. However, a number of pharmaceutical products that are currently available to U.S. residents are unavailable to Japanese consumers. From a humanitarian perspective, this
They are assured to acquire attention of the media, provided right ascription of the support of the occurrence. Further, a good protection against these dangers is very hard and costly; it will continue to be as such. A lot of the know-how linked with the buildup of the CBRN weapons-particularly chemical and biological agents possess genuine use in civilians and are categorized as twofold use. The widespread reach of
A large body of literature has treated many different aspects of these influences on Asia, Europe and the United States (Busser & Sadoi, 2003). The importance of the study relates to the current trends taking place in Libya where aggressive steps have been taken in recent years to normalize relations with the international community. For example, Libya opened up its programs to develop weapons of mass destruction to international
(16) The drug has better coverage against Gram-positive cocci and atypical pathogens, and it is able to achieve excellent penetration into respiratory fluids and tissues. One particular adverse effect of the drug is that it may result in gastrointestinal disturbances, and thereby affect the individual's metabolism. (17) e) How does metabolism influence clearance, bioactivity and elimination? At times, the metabolism does tend to affect the absorption and the clearance of

(Dereshiwsky, 1999) in addition: adding some open-ended items such as these to a more traditionally scaled quantifiable survey, such as one with Likert-scaled attitudinal items, and/or "check/off" questions on demographic background variables, is a good way to make the survey "multimethod" in nature. This is because you'd
