This books sets out an approach to the design and development of composite products that will lead to the maximum likelihood of developing commercially successful products, generally in the face of a great deal of uncertainty in most areas of the development process. The book is practically orientated, covering those areas of composite technology most critical to product developments, rather than those of the most theoretical importance, therefore providing a basis for mutual understanding among the broad field of composite specialists. The author's experience provides a hands-on approach to the methodology of design with composites. All those interested in composites design and manufacture, including those practising in such diverse fields as resin formulation, reinforcement, manufacture, design processing and manufacturing engineering will find this book invaluable.

Ensure your clinical trial supply chain is running smoothly with this practical guide Clinical trials are a critical part of the pharmaceutical development process. These trials cannot proceed without timely and regular receipt of the drugs being tested, which can prove a challenge for drug manufacturers who have not yet established the structures required to produce quality-controlled specimens of the drug at scale. Managing supply chains of pre-production drugs for clinical trials is therefore an essential component of drug development. Supply Chain Planning for Clinical Trials offers a practical introduction to this process for researchers and industry professionals. Beginning with the basics of clinical trial supply chain management, it proceeds step by step through all aspects of demand and supply planning for clinical trials. The result is a thorough overview that also offers practical examples of how to plan supply for clinical trials. Supply Chain Planning for Clinical Trials readers will also find: Tools for minimizing risk and expense by optimizing the relationship between supply and demand Detailed discussion of topics including quality and regulatory considerations and the business processes that support clinical trial supply chain management Spreadsheet-based models to illustrate key concepts, adaptable to the readers’ specific scenarios Supply Chain Planning for Clinical Trails is ideal for pharmaceutical industry professionals involved in clinical trial supply planning, as well as academics and researchers interested in the pharmaceutical industry and its logistics.

A decade and a half ago John Bellamy Foster and Paul Burkett introduced a new, revolutionary understanding of the ecological foundations of Marx’s thought, demonstrating that Marx’s concepts of the universal metabolism of nature, social metabolism, and metabolic rift prefigured much of modern systems ecology. Ecological relations were shown to be central to Marx’s critique of capitalism, including his value analysis. Now in Marx and the Earth Foster and Burkett expand on this analysis in the process of responding to recent ecosocialist criticisms of Marx. The result is a full-fledged anti-critique—pointing to the crucial roles that dialectics, open-system thermodynamics, intrinsic value, and aesthetic understandings played in the original Marxian critique, holding out the possibility of a new red-green synthesis.

This book provides students with basic knowledge and advance skills for addressing practical challenges in valuation. First, the book presents financial information as a vital ingredient for performing corporate valuation. Second, the book presents key concepts of value and valuation and basic techniques for cash flow discounting. Third, the book offers an understanding of the reality of valuation, not simply as a numerical subject, as most people tend to think, but as a combination of objective and subjective aspects. Finally, it examines valuation in relation to the linkage between a firm’s objective, management role in value creation, investors’ decisions, and the valuation role of financial information. This book is designed and presented to make valuation easily accessible while also not diluting the nature of its complexity. To assist in the learning experience, the author provides illustrative case studies using real world data and review questions to cover all concepts. To assist professors, slides, Microsoft Excel illustrations, working data and sample syllabi are available online for download.
