Application Of Membrane Technology For The Development Of Sustainable Biotechnology Processes, Faisal Hai, Oskar Modin Sep 2015

Application Of Membrane Technology For The Development Of Sustainable Biotechnology Processes, Faisal Hai, Oskar Modin

Faisal I Hai

The scope of application of membranes in biotechnology has widened significantly in the recent years. Although many of the membrane options are yet to achieve wide industrial applications, they show tremendous potential for the transformation and synthesis of valueadded products, energy production, therapeutic applications and environmental remediation. This chapter provides an overview of membrane applications in selected established and emerging biotechnology processes. Approaches to overcoming the technology bottlenecks that impede the scale-up of such systems have been discussed in this chapter.


Institutional Choice & Interest Groups In The Development Of American Patent Law: 1790-1865, Andrew Morriss, Craig Nard Jul 2015

Institutional Choice & Interest Groups In The Development Of American Patent Law: 1790-1865, Andrew Morriss, Craig Nard

Andrew P. Morriss

This paper analyzes the evolution of U.S. patent law between the first patent act in 1790 and 1870, the passage of the last major patent act of the nineteenth century. During most of the nineteenth century, patent law developed in the courts, and instrumental to this development were a relatively small patent bar, a subset of the judiciary, and several repeat parties who played a role in a significant proportion of patent cases. Yet at several junctures, most importantly with the major changes introduced in 1836, but also through minor statutory changes throughout the nineteenth century, Congress intervened to alter …


Project Management And Organizational Change, Lynn Crawford, Alicia Aitken, Anat Hassner-Nahmias May 2015

Project Management And Organizational Change, Lynn Crawford, Alicia Aitken, Anat Hassner-Nahmias

Lynn Crawford

Extract: Organizational changes have become recognized as a distinct type of project or program, and it may be argued that the majority of projects involve some degree of organizational and behavioral change. The degree of this change can be expected to be greater in projects where the purpose is to achieve organizational change, but even where the focus is on other outcomes, achievement of desired benefits may require structural changes and will generally involve some change in the way people do things. However, while project managers claim to be implementers of change, current project management standards focus on change control …


Does Registration Of The Medical Science Workforce Deliver A Competent Profession?, Tony Badrick, Andrew St John Feb 2015

Does Registration Of The Medical Science Workforce Deliver A Competent Profession?, Tony Badrick, Andrew St John

Tony Badrick

Many countries, including the UK, USA, New Zealand and countries within the EU, require registration (alsocalled licensure or certification) of the various non-medical professional groups that work in pathology laboratories. No such registration exists in Australia but many Australian medical laboratory scientists see registration of their profession as a holy grail which, when obtained, will lead to greater respect and an improved career path. In this paper we explore the real and perceived benefits together with the costs of registration, and describe the relationship between continual professional development (CPU) programs and competence. Rather than accepting the notion that registration per …
