Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Polyhydroxyalkanoates: bioplastics with a green agenda Tajalli Keshavarz and Ipsita Roy Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) has been investigated for more than eighty years but recently a number of factors including increase in the price of crude oil and public awareness of the environmental issues have become a notable driving force for extended research on biopolymers. The versatility of PHAs has made them good candidates for the study

Basic chemistry of a cell Properties of water – – – Life on Earth began in water and evolved there for 3 billion years before spreading onto land. Modern life‚ even terrestrial life‚ remains tied to water. All living organisms require water more than any other substance. Human beings for example‚ can survive for quite for a few weeks without food‚ but only a week or so without water. – – – Water is deceptively simple. It is shaped something like a wide V‚ with its two hydrogen atoms joined

CASE ANALYSIS Synthes 1. Situation Analysis: A. Nature of Demand The products in discussion are ‘bioresorbable’ internal fixation devices. These devices are surgically placed to stabilize broken bones‚ aiding in allowing the body to heal itself. Internal fixation devices in the past had been made of stainless steel or titanium‚ but with problems resulting from those permanent devices‚ an innovative approach is being considered. Bioresorbable implants are a possible replacement to

Introduction Polymers are large macromolecules composed of many small repeating subunits (monomers) connected via covalent bonds. Both natural and synthetic polymers are created via polymerization of these small molecules (Chemistry 144 Writing Assignment information sheet). The chosen polymer‚ polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in the form of Teflon®‚ is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (Wikipedia‚ 2015)‚ and is one of the most well-known brand names for PTFE based formulas‚ owned by

statistics and forecast the standing of the crude oil market. 2. Each division requires its own specific type of forecasting method because of all of their unique circumstances. For the industrial intermediaries division‚ polymers and detergents each need a different method. Since the polymer intermediates sales have risen by a high number of 40% over a two year period and are unpredictable‚ an exponential smoothing method would be most appropriate. This method weights highest on the most recent years sales
