The times when the chances that incremental optimisation of organisations could lead to sustained competitive advantage were great seem long gone. In today’s economy, organisations aspiring to reap any advantage at all will most likely be forced to master the reinvention of their business models on a regular basis – or better still, create new ones.

In behavioural science research verbal expressions are analysed with various methods and techniques. However, in order to describe the relations within an entire sentence quantitatively with the aid of multivariate statistical procedures, ANACONDA has been developed. This acronym implies the notion of a method for the Analysis of Concepts by means of Data Processing.

Tachykinins have been implied as mediators and/or modulators of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferents. It is known that tachykinins are released from central endings of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent neurons in the rat and cat spinal cords, and that the capsaicin-sensitive bladder afferents are involved in regulating the micturition reflex in the rat. The general aim of the present studies w

Through metabolic engineering, S. cerevisiae was provided with the necessary enzymes required for xylose utilisation during ethanolic fermentation of xylose-rich lignocellulose raw materials. For xylitol production, S. cerevisiae was provided with the Pichia stipitis XYL1 gene encoding xylose reductase (XR). The in-vivo reduction and the following excretion of xylitol, requires a co-substrate for
