Colorimetric Sensors: Techniques to Measure Food Safety and Quality explores the latest advancements in colorimetric sensors/indicators and their applications. It consolidates state-of-the-art developments and current approaches in the fabrication of colorimetric sensors/indicators for cutting-edge applications. This book documents the principles of colorimetric sensors, sensor fabrication and characterization, sensitivity and detection limits of colorimetric sensors based on natural pigments, synthetic dyes, and nanotechnologies, as well as safety, quality controls, and regulatory aspects, followed by an assessment of their safety and quality. In addition, global trends in the application of colorimetric sensors in monitoring food freshness, challenges, marketing, and potential future development applications are addressed in detail. How the applications of colorimetric sensors/indicators in the analysis of cereal and cereal-based products, meat and meat products, liquid and semiliquid foods, food authentication, food toxicants, and pathogens, among others, is also discussed. This book can be used as a textbook for graduate students, a reference book for medical biologists, nanobiotechnologists, nanoengineers, agricultural scientists, and general biologists, and an inspiration for industrialists and policymakers studying smart nanomaterials. Graduate students and food scientists of all levels will also benefit.- Serves as a valuable source for researchers interested in the fundamental, basic, and modern applications of colorimetric sensors/intelligent food packaging- Presents colorimetric sensors for use as rapid and cost-effective analytical tools to measure food safety and quality- Covers colorimetric sensors/intelligent food packaging fabricated from natural, and synthetic dyes, and nanotechnology-based biomolecules for the assessment of food safety and quality- Demonstrates methods for evaluating the authenticity and odorants crucial to consumer acceptance of food products- Considers future industrial application, commercialization, regulatory aspects of colorimetric sensors/ indicators, and global trends for monitoring food freshness

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, , language: English, abstract: The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between brand image, service quality and price on consumer purchase intention. Normative and informative susceptibility has indirect effect on consumer purchase intention. The empirical analysis were determined by collecting data from sample of 301 consumers of large retail stores. The findings of study reveal the positive effect of brand image and service quality on consumer purchase intention. Results reveal the insignificant relationship between price and consumer purchase intention. The findings also documented that consumers in large retail stores don't bother prices because consumers consider that the stores charge reasonable prices. Most of consumer's purchases depend upon the brand image and service quality. Normative and informative susceptibility have positive effect on brand image. The recommendations and suggestions are very helpful for managers and operators of large stores. Brand image depends on informative and normative susceptibility.

Scientific Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the relationship between transparency and disclosure and firm performance. Highlighting the importance of corporate governance in banking sector, the paper has focused in depth over its role, level and its impact on performance in banking industry of Pakistan. The paper access this purpose by constructing transparency and disclosure index for the past five year 2007-2011, using proxies for three sub-categories which are board and management structure disclosure, ownership structure disclosure and financial transparency disclosure. The paper also investigated structural changes of T&D Index and its effect on bank financial performance over the sample of 30 banks operating in Pakistan. Empirical analysis results by using ordinary least square regression model, reveals that financial performance is positively related to the transparency and disclosure and their sub levels except ownership structure disclosure which has negative relation with both ROA and ROE. Furthermore the average T&D level in Pakistani banking sector is above average. The current research paper aims for important policy implementation to reduce information asymmetry and improve corporate governance and firm performance in banking sector of Pakistan.

Project Report from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 3.3, , language: English, abstract: This study investigates the impact and role of information technology on inventory management. Supply chain management (SCM) addresses the handling of information and material across the entire chain that includes the producers to suppliers, retailers, distributors and customers. By increasing focus on use of rapid and advance technologies in enhancement of supply chain management, the businesses are seeking to developed and organized material handling system for its use. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness and role of developed technology in handling of material. This will be a descriptive type of research. This study will also document the relationship of inventory management on supply chain management. The questionnaire will be used to gather the data. The KSE list firms will be used as sample of the study. The advance econometric techniques will be implemented for analysis of data. The results of study will help in efficient management of inventory of firm.
