We divide our memory in three “pieces” the short-term memory and the long-term memory and the sensory memory. This memory model was explained by the researchers Atkinson and Shiffrin 1968. First is the sensory memory, it can memorize things only for a few seconds. The visual system possesses iconic memory for visual stimuli like the shape, the size and the color of an object. Second is the short-term memory, in this case we can store some information for a longer period so that we can be able to use them for example we can memorize a telephone number long enough to dial it and use it, after...

... Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 • Market studies identified new opportunity, which will increase company market share for central venous catheter product by 10 % profit. Introduction about central venous catheter • Heart block and arrhythmia are complications of pulmonary artery and cardiac catheterization. Injury to the conducting system of the heart often involves the right bundle causing right bundle branch block (RBBB). If patients already have left bundle branch block (LBBB), complete heart block (CHB) may result. After trauma, impairment of the right bundle is usually transient with recovery in hours, but complete heart block can lead to symptoms requiring invasive treatment. Similar complications are rare with insertion of central venous catheters, as they should not enter the heart. Injury to the right bundle during central venous catheter insertion can be by trauma from the guide wire or from the catheter itself. The function of the AV node and bundle of His in these patients has not been studied before. We report a patient with LBBB who developed CHB during insertion of a central venous cannula. Conduction through the AV node and His–Purkinje system was intact, showing that the transient RBBB was caused by traumatic injury rather than by other disease of the conduction system. Designing central venous catheter product, which will appeal customer who are looking for a quality, healthy, sterility, and pyrogen free. The new product should be on shelf in...

Its remarkable growth can be attributed to its ability to rapidly access and adopt new technologies and also to its success in evolving an effective mechanism to strengthen research and development. The industry's advanced manufacturing facilities have earned laurels from global regulatory authorities. As a result, the world today turns to the Indian pharma industry not only for high-quality and low-cost generic drugs, but also for in-licensing and out -licensing of drugs. The robust Indian pharma industry today produces a range of formulations, has the expertise for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and sees significant opportunities for value-creation.

...Subject Name: Marketing Management Case No. 1 TIC- A Haven to Fun & Frolic Thakur was very happy, ecstatic in fact, choked with emotions, he flashed the bank draft of Rs. 5000 he was holding in the right hand and told all the young students sitting on the concrete slabs strewn all around TIC and enjoying their CNN (twin pleasure of caffeine and nicotine), “Do you know Pant? That lamboo got confirmed posting in Pune in TELCO… Arre yaar, the same tall lanky fellow who strummed the guitar… the one always trying to impress the Lucknow BT girl from CBSH…arre yaar all those angrezi gaane wala, what u call them… yes, yes… arre yaar… Dhillon songs.” Thakur had cultivated this habit of saying ‘arre yaar’ before every sentence he spoke and well, students had by now deciphered the Morse code … Thakur wanted to convey… ‘Dylan’ not ‘Dhillon’ songs. Most of the engineering students knew which biotechnology ma’am of College of Basic Science and Humanities was being referred to. It was routine affair at TIC; the young students knew what exactly Thakur meant… their Mechanical Engineer super-senior Manish Pant, the one who loved to strum Bob Dylan songs probably cleared his khaata (balance money to be paid) with Thakur. Thakur knew that they would always pay even when they left the campus… often substantially more than they owed him. Their existed an unwritten rule between Thakur and his beneficiaries, of course within tacitly agreed boundaries, for final year students,...
