The base-catalyzed hydroamination of olefins offers a simple and elegant access to various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. Particular focus is placed on developments in the area of hydroamination of non-activated olefins. Advantages and disadvantages of the methodology compared to other synthetic methods are presented. Special attention is paid to potential industrial applications of t...

In this article we argue that the regulation of Intellectual Property (IP) protection should go beyond the traditional regulatory models and follow a more flexible regulatory framework. Considering the range of industrial needs and developments, the article develops a differentiated Community IP protection model that could stimulate growth and innovation, alter the behavior of patent users, and...

In this contribution, computer-aided optimization is presented as the ultimate tool to improve food processing. The state of the art is reviewed, especially focusing in recent developments using modern optimization techniques. Their potential for industrial applications is also discussed in the light of several important examples. Finally, future trends and research needs

The continuing progress of all IT-branches towards "smaller, cheaper, more powerful" mainly enables this trend. Moreover new developments in the field of materials science like midget-sensors, organic light emitting devices or electronic ink and the evolution in communications technology, especially in the wireless sector, contribute to embedding IT-components in nearly every industrial or pers...

This paper reviews recent developments and progress in the restructuring of the Russian economy. Great emphasis is placed on industrial policy and creating the necessary legal and regulatory framework to enable the development of new enterprises, markets and the restructuring of existing state-owned enterprises.

The aim of the paper is to present the fundamental definitions connected to fractional differentiation and to present an overview of the CRONE approach in the fields of system analysis, modeling and identification, observation and control. Industrial applications of fractional differentiation are also described in this paper. Some recent developments are also presented.

Cadmium (Cd) has been in industrial use for a long period of time. Its serious toxicity moved into scientific focus during the middle of the last century. In this review, we discuss historic and recent developments of toxicological and epidemiological questions, including exposition sources, resorption pathways and organ damage processes.

Inclusion body refolding processes are poised to play a major role in the production of recombinant proteins. Improving renaturation yields by minimizing aggregation and reducing chemical costs are key to the industrial implementation of these processes. Recent developments include solubilization methods that do not rely on high denaturant concentrations and the use of high hydrostatic pressure...

Olfaction is an important mechanism by which humans and animals communicate with environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play crucial role in the olfactory mechanism. Here, we briefly discuss about the role of OBPs and their importance in industrial, pest management and therapeutic developments.

Workflow Logs provide a very valuable source of information about the actual execution of business processes in organizations. We propose to use data warehouse technology to exploit this information resources for organizational developments, monitoring and process improvements. We introduce a general data warehouse design for workflow warehouses and discuss the results from an industrial case s...
