Abstract: Effects of heating on some quality characteristics of date seed oil from two cultivars (Deglet Nour and Allig) has been investigated using an accelerated test in a Rancimat system. Fatty acid, viscosity, absorptivity at 232 and 270 nm, colour and total melting enthalpy of Deglet Nour seed oil were less changed compared to that of Allig seed oil, because the former contained a higher amount of total phenolic compounds (526 µg/g against 215 µg/g) and a lower content of unsaturated fatty acids. Viscosity and absorptivity at 232 nm and at 270 nm increased rapidly after reaching the oxidation induction time. Differential scanning calorimetry...

...Gerald Thomason 8-31-17 As a DSC student, I give my word that this work is my own and that I have neither given nor received unauthorized help. I, Gerald Thomason, agree. Blue Zones are notable geographic areas where exceptional numbers of people achieve longer lifespans than is usually the case. The common theme among these remote locations is a local commitment to certain dietary and lifestyle practices that play a considerable role in greater longevity. Learning about different cultural practices to achieve healthy living offers insight on how to improve one’s own lifestyle. Of the Power9 suggestions, moving naturally and the 80% rule were not what I expected to see. Rather than consciously making the effort to stick to a physically active routine, individuals in Blue Zones are consistently active because of their living circumstances and hobbies, such as gardening. I am most...

...Question 1: In the case study Blu-ray versus HD-DVD: A standards battle in high-definition video (Schilling, 2013,pp 65-66), what factors do you think influenced whether (1) consumers, (2) retailers, and (3) movie producers supported Blu-ray versus HD-DVD? Discuss and justify your answer using the theory behind the selection of dominant designs. Intro; In the early 2000’s Toshiba and Sony, two tech giants went head to head to provide homes with the next generation of high definition video. Toshiba’s new technology was called HD-DVD and was compatible with the old technology, DVD. Sony released Blu-Ray which required a new playing system altogether. After both companies had secured major contracts in the entertainment industry there was one moment that helped Sony to become the dominant product. Time Warner, formerly in alliance with Toshiba, switched to Sony prompting other undecided companies, including Walmart and Netflix, to follow suite. After this the tech war was effectively over and Toshiba ceased production of HD-DVD’s and components. Although at the same time an alternative product for watching movies was growing; online streaming. This provided a similar experience, depending on how fast the internet was in the area, but at a cheaper cost of being digital media. Consumers; in the fight for supremacy the early adopters of the technology are very influential because they will be more likely to have researched about which product was better based on technical factors...

...As the summer of 1999 began, Julie Robins, the chief investment officer of the Angel Foundation, was considering whether to invest in Accel Partners’latest venture capital fund – Accel Partners VII. Accel was seeking to raise $500 million. The Angel Foundation had been a limited partner (investor) in Accel’s previous three funds – Accel Partners IV, V, and VI. Those funds had generated returns well above those typical for venture capital funds. In fact, the net returns to limited partners on Accel Partners IV and V were running above 100% per year. Exhibit 1 provides a recent record of historical returns for venture capital funds by vintage year. While 100% plus returns were obviously spectacular, Julie was concerned that Accel had decided to raise the fees it would charge its limited partners. In its previous fund, Accel had charged a management fee of 2.5% and a carried interest (or profit share) of 25%. This already exceeded the industry standard of 2.5% and 20%. In Accel Partners VII, Accel proposed to raise the carried interest to 30% of profits. James W. Breyer, Accel’s managing partner, argued that: “the higher profit share would help it retain and attract new talent. We have the same investment team that has been investing the last three Accel funds, and at the same time, we have greatly strengthened the team with new additions ... ”2 At a 30% carry, Accel would join a select group of private equity firms that included Bain Capital, Kleiner, Perkins, Caulfied & Byers...

...Assignment On Engineering Materials (Glass) Introduction Glass is a non-crystalline solid material. Glasses are typically brittle, and often optically transparent. The most prevalent type of glass, used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels, is soda-lime glass, made of about 75% silica (SiO2) plus Na2O, CaO, and several minor additives. Often, the term glass is used in a restricted sense to refer to this specific use. [pic] [pic]Roman Cage Cup from the 4th century A.D. In science, however, the term glass is usually defined in a much wider sense, including every solid that possesses a non-crystalline (i.e. amorphous) structure and that exhibits a glass transition when heated towards the liquid state. In this wider sense, glasses can be made of quite different classes of materials: metallic alloys, ionic melts, aqueous solutions, molecular liquids, and polymers. Of these, polymer glasses (acrylic glass, polyethylene terephthalate) are the most important; for many applications (bottles, eyewear) they are a lighter alternative to traditional silica glasses. Glasses play an essential role in science and industry. Their chemical, physical, and in particular optical properties make them suitable for applications such as flat glass, container glass, optics and optoelectronics material, laboratory equipment, thermal insulator (glass wool), reinforcement fiber (glass-reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced concrete), and glass art (art glass, studio glass). ...

...Long Range Planning 41 (2008) 378e394 http://www.elsevier.com/locate/lrp Innovation Games: A New Approach to the Competitive Challenge ´ Roger Miller, Xavier Olleros and Luis Molinie Innovation is often perceived as an unmanageable phenomenon. Bets are placed on new products with the hope that a few winners will compensate for the many losers. At best, sophisticated selection procedures impose a certain discipline and provide guidance for containing costly errors. The research that we have conducted yields a more nuanced view. Innovation, we have found, becomes manageable when managers move away from universalistic prescriptions and recognise that different rules and practices apply in different contexts. Our main argument is that both executives and public officials need to learn from the new realities of innovation. Instead of being a uniform process, innovation takes place in seven distinct ‘games’, focusing on market creation, market maintenance and innovator support. Rules for managing innovation are neither generic best practices that can be applied universally, nor narrow industry-specific recipes. Instead, distinct contexts call for specific strategies and rules to create and capture market value. Thus, innovation games are not predetermined sets of rules but leave ample room for creative competition and collaboration. Our approach urges business executives and academics to reassess the validity of conventional approaches, no matter how well established. Managers...
