The work with software processes has become an entire field of its own. It should be considered a process, where the product is process improvement and maintenance service to the host organization. The process professionals should also strive towards good product engineering practices in their work, apply the same quality criteria to their processes, and maintain and improve their own work prac...

In recent years, psycholinguistics has seen a remarkable growth of research based on the analysis of data from large-scale studies of word recognition, in particular lexical decision and word naming. We present the data of the Dutch Lexicon Project (DLP) in which a group of 39 participants made lexical decisions to 14,000 words and the same number of nonwords. To examine whether the extensive p...

The demonstration of bioequivalence (BE) is an essential requirement for ensuring that patients receive a product that performs as indicated by the label. The BE standard for a particular product is set by its innovator, and this standard must subsequently be matched by generic drug products. The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) sets a scientific basis for an improved BE standard fo...

In current business environment many OEM companies are employing mass customization strategy, which has implication on the entire operations of an enterprise and especially influences the character of assembly processes. Increased product differentiation in context of customized production causes significant changes in complexity of assembly systems. Our focus in this paper is the development o...

The purpose of this paper is to stimulate discussion around the thought processes and activities that occur from creation through development and commercialization of a molecule that ultimately becomes a drug product that benefits patients. This includes exploring the scientific evidence and pharmacological underpinnings that link clinical concepts to drug product design, manufacturing controls...

Recent results of N-body simulations have shown that current theoretical models are not able to correctly predict the amplitude of the scale-dependent halo bias induced by primordial non-Gaussianity, for models going beyond the simplest, local quadratic case. Motivated by these discrepancies, we carefully examine three theoretical approaches based on (1) the statistics of thresholded regions, (...

Achieving sustained business performance is a challenge for many firms. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the food and packaged goods domain where manufacturers are significantly affected by globally aggressive competitors and retailers. Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm this study of 173 food manufacturers finds that the NPD process is a capability enabling the translation of a...

OBJECTIVES To determine the accuracy of pharmaceutical companies' predictions of drug licensing timeframes for their products in late stage clinical development. METHODS We compared predicted licensing dates provided to the National Institute for Health Research Horizon Scanning Research and Intelligence Centre by pharmaceutical companies against actual marketing authorisation application (MA...

An intention of MapReduce Sets for Cartesian product expressions analysis has to suggest criteria how Cartesian product expressions in Cartesian product data can be defined in a meaningful way and how they should be compared. Similitude based MapReduce Sets for Cartesian product Expression Analysis and MapReduce Sets for Assignment is expected to adhere to fundamental principles of the scientif...
