This work reflects development in plant cell and tissue culture technology, with special emphasis on its application for food ingredient production. Topics include plant metabolic pathway studies, process development for improving yields, and bioreactor design and operation for large-scale production. Economic considerations and issues related to the commercial development of culture-derived food ingredients, as well as safety assessment schemes and regulatory frameworks set up by regulatory agencies around the world are also included.

The competitiveness of companies plays an important role in developing their effectiveness. But technology provides a strong competitive advantage to the companies and helps in achieving the sustainable development. This edited collection discusses various methods by which a firm can create a competitive advantage in a dynamic situation. The book highlights the strategies in global decisions related to changing business models and processes in the innovation era. The contributions by authors take readers through emerging trends in innovation that can support managers in making more strategic decisions, while reducing reconciliation and report preparation.In a hyper-competitive environment, this book will assist researchers and management practitioners in appreciating new strategic sources. Radical strategies and competitive innovation, sustainable development, competitiveness, SMEs, direct and indirect investment, delocalization of businesses, and value creation will all be discussed in depth. Overall, this volume will help readers understand the importance of real-time smart business sources to gain a competitive advantage.Competitive Advantage, Strategy and Innovation in Africa provides essential information on contemporary issues and challenges in management and change strategies. It will serve as a reference for academicians, researchers, and practitioners interested in the rapid transformation in the management sector due to technological advancement and high competition between companies.

This book is developed from the Symposium "Plant Cell and Tissue Culture for Food Ingredient Production" which was held on April 13-17, 1997 at the American Chemical So­ ciety National Meeting in San Francisco, CA.

The word “titanic” reminds one of the majestic ship Titanic and James Cameron’s epic romance movie Titanic—in many cases the film first and the ship next. The Titanic was the world’s largest passenger ship when it entered service, measuring 269 m (882 feet) in length, and the largest man-made moving object on earth. The colossal ship and the epic movie inspired the authors, Susai Rajendran (professor of chemistry) and Gurmeet Singh (a renowned academic administrator and an internationally reputed expert in the field of corrosion science and smart materials) to study why the Titanic collapsed. The main reason seems to be bimetallic corrosion, also known as galvanic corrosion. This book discusses various aspects of galvanic corrosion, namely causes, consequences, methods of control, and case studies. It also reports research on the causes of corrosion of the sunken ship, including microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and metallurgical failure. The book is a great reference for research scholars in the field of corrosion, graduate- and postgraduate-level students, the general public, and marine engineers.

The book covers a range of unique, challenging, and complicated respiratory and critical illness cases (pneumonia, cancer, asthma), and other internal medicine conditions. These cases help medical practitioners better understand and develop an early approach to similar cases in their daily clinical practice.
