An original vision for using technology to transform supply chains into value chains in order to revitalize American communities When the COVID-19 pandemic led to a global economic “shutdown” in March 2020, our supply chains began to fail, and out-of-stocks and delivery delays became the new norm. Contrary to public perception, the pandemic strain did not break the current system of supply chains; it merely exposed weaknesses and fault lines that were decades in the making, and which were already acutely felt in deindustrialized cities and depopulated rural towns throughout the United States. Reinventing the Supply Chain explores the historical role of supply chains in the global economy...
Traditional Mediterranean fruits (i.e., be grapes, oranges, apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, figs, melons, watermelon and dates) are of major commercial and nutritional value to the region. Processing of such fruits, however, results in large amounts of bio-waste material. Efficient, inexpensive and environmentally friendly use of fruit industry waste is thus highly cost-effective and minimizes environmental impact. The natural antioxidants and bioactive compounds found in Mediterranean fruit bio-wastes could play a major role in the alleged health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, and could be used in pharmaceuticals as well as novel food applications. This book presents a multidi...
Pharmaceutical formulations have evolved from simple and traditional systems to more modern and complex novel dosage forms. Formulation development is a tedious process and requires an enormous amount of effort from many different people. Developing a stable novel dosage form and further targeting it to the desired site inside the body has always been a challenge. The purpose of this book is to bring together scholarly articles that highlight recent developments and trends in pharmaceutical formulation science. Each article has been written by authors specializing in the subject area and hailing from top institutions around the world. The book has been written in a systematic and lucid style explaining all basic concepts and fundamentals in a very simple way. This book aims to serve the need of all individuals involved at any level in the pharmaceutical dosage form development. I sincerely hope that the book will be liked by inquisitive students and learned colleagues.
This book explores the potential role of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics in managing various metabolic disorders, chronic diseases, and metabolic syndromes. The initial chapter provides an overview of metabolic disorders, including their classification, symptoms, and underlying causes. Additionally, the chapter discusses the intricate signaling pathways and mechanisms through which prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics interact with the human body in relation to type-2 diabetes, obesity, Phenylketonuria, and Hemochromatosis. Additionally, the book highlights the potential impact of probiotics and synbiotics on oxidative stress, inflammation, lipid metabolism, and blood pressure. Furt...
Increasing human population pressure, especially in developing countries, indicates a massive increase in the consumption of livestock products. Fodder crops are the primary and cheapest source of feed for livestock, but feed shortages or poor-quality fodder are particular constraints to the world's livestock sector. These shortages affect milk production, adult and calf health, calving rates, and livestock numbers. Summer crops including cereal, legume, grass, and tree fodder, provide an economical source of nutrients suitable for animal health as well as improve their breeding efficiency. Sustainable Summer Fodder: Production, Challenges, and Prospects presents the unique opportunities and...
This book concentrates on recent developments related to the application of original structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics, physiology, genetics, and molecular biology as well as basic pharmacological problems that offer mechanistic insights that are generally significant for the field of pharmacology. Written by experts, chapters cover such topics as drug transport mechanisms and drug–receptor complexes. This volume offers up-to-date, expert reviews of the fast-moving field of molecular pharmacology.
In recent years, conformance rather than compliance has gained attention in executive suites. While compliance with laws, regulations, statutes, and other formal legal frameworks for corporate activity have been on the agenda for several decades, conformance with norms, values, ethics, and guidelines expected by stakeholders and others in society is recently reaching the top of executive agendas. An important reason in this shift of attention from compliance to conformance is the speed as well as severity of damage and harm from breaches and violations of the social license to operate, as compared to violations of the legal license to operate. While a legal process in the criminal justice sy...
