Writing the book, Biopreneurs: The Molecular Millionaires we, Ryan Baidya and Miyuki Shiratani, have tried to cover the ordinary and extraordinary resources that readers can utilize to understand the biotech industry. While writing the book, we kept in mind those without biotech backgrounds. So, the book does not emphasize dry hard facts from life science subjects or financial figures from the stock market. It is rather a lucid situational analysis of the biotech industry. It strives to educate prospective investors in how and why to invest in start- up ventures, and early-stage companies. In addition, it also provides tools, knowledge, and expertise, identifying appropriate times to realize profits in a particular field. In a nutshell, we have earnestly tried to incorporate as much information as possible to make this book your best friend, philosopher and a guide for those people interested in biotechnology.

With unparalleled high-tension suspense and the latest in forensic technology, Patricia Cornwell once again proves her exceptional ability to surprise—and to thrill—in this electrifying Kay Scarpetta novel. A body, oddly draped in an unusual cloth, has just been discovered inside the sheltered gates of MIT, and it’s suspected the identity is that of missing computer engineering grad student Gail Shipton, last seen the night before at a trendy Cambridge bar. It appears she’s been murdered, mere weeks before the trial in her $100 million lawsuit against her former financial manager, and Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta doubts it’s a coincidence. She also fears the case may have a connection with her computer genius niece, Lucy. In Dust, Scarpetta and her colleagues are up against a force far more sinister than a sexual predator who fits the criminal classification of a “spectacle killer.” The murder of Gail Shipton soon leads deep into the dark world of designer drugs, drone technology, organized crime, and shocking corruption at the highest levels.

The concept of sustainability has grown in recognition and importance. The pressure on companies to broaden their reporting and accountability from economic performance for shareholders, to sustainability performance for all stakeholders is leading to a change of mindset in consumer behaviour and corporate policies. How can we develop prosperity without compromising the life and needs of future generations? Sustainability in Project Management explores and identifies the questions surrounding the integration of the concepts of sustainability in projects and project management and provides valuable guidance and insights. Sustainability relates to multiple perspectives, economical, environmental and social, but also to responsibility and accountability and values in terms of ethics, fairness and equality. The authors will inspire project managers to be aware of these considerations, and to apply them to the role they play in projects, not just 'doing things right' but 'doing the right things right'.

Making Takshila in California is an account of my journey to make a Takshila in California. It is a tale of revealing corruption, collusion, and abuse of power by the State of California. The Bureau for Private Post Secondary Education (BPPE), and Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) of California engaged in abusive and unconstitutional activities. Takshila: One of the best performing innovative start-up institutions that trained high-tech professionals successfully. Silicon Valley and rest of the country happily employed them. Yet CTU has been bullied, threatened and subjected to injustice, prejudice, and discrimination. And the question is WHY? This WHY took us to the land where State Assembly members, Senators, the U.S. Congressman, and some media did not want to go. We questioned. We exposed wrongdoings of BPPE, DCA, California Attorney General (Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra). We were, thus, systematically bullied, threatened, discriminated against and violated of our constitutional rights. We are not a unique situation. There are over several hundred may be near thousands of California institutions have a similar story to tell. Someone needs to ASK.

Projects and programmes should achieve a return on the investment made by the owner or sponsor. This return is now thought of as the benefits that accrue from the investment: some financial, others perhaps harder to define, but nonetheless just as important in justifying the investment. Making sure that they are realised, and that unanticipated benefits are maximised, is as important as the initial justification, and without that many projects have earned a bad name for project management. This publication provides comprehensive guidance on how to manage delivery of the benefits used to justify investment in change. It provides guidance for all involved in successful change delivery from senior responsible owners and directors through to portfolio, programme and project managers. The guidance is the source material for an accredited qualification from APMG-International

Plant cell culture techniques are used increasingly in basic research for plant exploitation in industry, including for example, genetic engineering and micropropagation. The rapidly developing role of plant cell culture has necessitated this new edition of a widely acclaimed book. It covers a wide range of methods central to the exploitation of plant cell cultures in fundamental and applied research. This thoroughly revised work retains the combination of giving and explaining the general principles involved with the concise description of specific protocols, with appeal to a broad readership, that made the first edition so successful. Internationally recognized experts describe the techniques used for isolating and manipulating cell cultures, and the central importance in plant biotechnology. The book will be of major interest to researchers in plant sciences in general, and specifically to botany, plant physiology, and biotechnology students.
