Product development has been a major activity in the food industry for over 40 years, but only gradually has it developed as a strategic business area and also as an advanced technology. For a long time it was essentially a craft, loosely related to the research and engineering areas in the company. The pressures for product development came very strongly from the needs of the growing supermarkets for a constantly changing, extensive mix of products and for continuous price promotions. So there was the drive for product difference

tructure* is the key to everything in chemistry. The properties of a substance depend on the atoms it contains and the way the atoms are connected. What is less 0 obvious, but very powerful, is the idea that someone who is trained in chemistry can look at a structural formula of a substance and tell you a lot about its properties

The Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution The binomial distribution, like the Poisson, is that of a random variable taking only positive integral values. Since it involves factorials, the binomial distribution is not very convenient for numerical application

I. Description of the class: The students are freshmen with the age between 17-21. They are not very active and iastic enthusiastic. As a result, they sometimes can not concentrate on what is going on in class. They

In late 1990, executives, engineers, and financial advisors working for Amoco Corporation and Apache Corporation began serious discussions about the sale to Apache of MW Petroleum Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amoco Production Company. Amoco had transferred to MW certain of its own assets that it regarded as non-strategic. MW,s size, location, and operations were all very attractive to Apache, which had grown nearly 30% per year since the mid-1980s

1. Characteristics of idioms (1)Semantic unity Each idiom is a semantic unity. The semantic unity can be reflected by the fact tha he meaning of an idiom is very often not the total sum of the meanings of the constituent words. The semantic unity can aslo be shown in the illogical relations between the literal meanings of the consitituent words and the meaning of the idiom

he major classes of organic compounds common to living systems are lipids, pro- teins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are very familiar to us- we call many of them\sugars.\ They make up a substantial portion of the food we eat and provide most of the energy that keeps the human engine running. Carbohy- drates are structural components of the walls of plant cells and the wood of trees. Genetic

The atmosphere layer is very thin compared to the size of the Earth

In this chapter we introduce a circuit element that is very important in circuit design, the operational amplifier.This element will be used extensively in the studies of future chapters. Here we consider its use with resistors only to perform the algebraic functions of multiplication, addition and subtraction
