Interactions between drug particulates are crucial in determining
drug dispersion and deaggregation, and ultimately delivery
efficiency. This book combines principles and factors in
pharmaceutical powder technology, critically reviews some of the
studies carried out in dry powder formulation development, and
proposes possible strategies for improving their efficiency. The
majority of these principles are applicable to other pharmaceutical
solid dosage forms (e.g. tablets and capsules).
This interface is being recognized by business organizations as a
key priority for management, and both practitioners and academics
alike have placed a greater emphasis on the need to view the supply
chain as a whole as the vehicle by which competitive advantage is
achieved. As well as drawing upon current research and the
experience of firms worldwide, Marketing Logistics uses numerous
'mini-cases' and vignettes to illustrate the key messages in each
chapter and bring the theory to life. This book is an invaluable
resource for managers who seek to understand more about the way in
which the supply chain should be managed to improve their
organization's competitive position, as well as students
undertaking degree-level courses in marketing, logistics and supply
chain management.

Latin America is a well recognized and growing market, but its poor
infrastructure, explosive urbanization, expensive and inefficient
logistics, and multiple social problems continue to pose major
problems to logistics professionals and academics. The uniqueness
and complexity of these issues have long daunted scholars, and
there remains an important gap in the literature around Latin
American supply chain management and logistics (SCM&L). Supply
Chain Management and Logistics in Latin America brings together
leading scholars across Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru,
Panama, and the USA in order to address this gap. The chapters
collected here, all of which are drawn from selected papers
presented at the 2016 MIT SCALE Latin American Conference on
Logistics and Supply Chain Management, offer perspectives from five
different countries-Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Peru-and
provide insights into cases and new methods written by people who
have faced the challenges they discuss. The authors cover a broad
range of subjects: in addition to general contributions to
qualitative and quantitative methods in supply chain management and
coverage of cases of global importance such as the Panama Canal
expansion, they offer insights into regionally specific problems
around freight corridors in Colombia, reverse logistics and
recycling in Colombia, supply risk management in Colombia, and
socially oriented logistics in low-income communities in Peru.
Since Latin America is one of the most urbanized regions in the
world, with about eighty percent of the population living in
cities, questions around urban logistics also receive heavy
coverage, with four chapters discussing issues unique to very
high-density cities and megacities such as Sao Paulo, Rio de
Janeiro, Bogota, and Quito. For its explorations of important
themes, methods, and local topics within a crucial and
ever-expanding market, Supply Chain Management and Logistics in
Latin America is a valuable resource for educators, researchers,
and practitioners.
Most successful companies have operations management at their
heart. It enables strategy and should be part of boardroom
discussions. However, Cranfield research has shown that business
strategy barely recognises the world of operations management.
Recognising that operations management needs to be more strategic,
Business Operations Models is a revolutionary new title that looks
at the interrelationship of operations management and strategy. In
Business Operations Models, Martin Christopher and Alan Braithwaite
identify the characteristics of market-leading businesses that have
transformed their markets and delivered super performance for their
stakeholders. It points to the theory gap between strategic
thinking and operations and how many high-performing businesses
arrive at their new operating models as much by chance as
judgement. Unpacking those observations leads to some clearly
defined features of winning competitors, including eliminating
waste, leveraging technology, and utilising transformative business
models. Business Operations Models offers a framework for achieving
super performance and understanding when and how a company may be
able to leverage its capabilities to outperform. The book provides
detailed international case studies that illustrate how the
principles work in practice, including Apple, Dell, Amazon, John
Lewis, Southwest airlines, Aldi, Toyota and many others.

Everything we know about Alexander comes from ancient sources,
which agree unanimously that he was extraordinary and greater than
everyday mortals. From his birth into a hypercompetitive world of
royal women through his training under the eyes and fists of stern
soldiers and the piercing intellect of Aristotle; through
friendships, rivalries, conquests and negotiations; through acts of
generosity and acts of murder, this book explains who Alexander
was, what motivated him, where he succeeded (in his own eyes) and
where he failed, and how he believed that he earned a new 'mixed'
nature combining the human and the divine. This book explains what
made Alexander 'Great' according to the people and expectations of
his time and place and rejects modern judgments asserted on the
basis of an implicit moral superiority to antiquity.

From 2007 to 2012, almost five percent of American adults-about ten
million people-lost their homes because they could not make
mortgage payments. The scale of this home mortgage crisis is
unprecedented-and it's not over. Foreclosures still displace more
American homeowners every year than at any time before the
twenty-first century. The dispossession and forced displacement of
American families affects their health, educational success, and
access to jobs. It continues to block any real recovery in the
hardest-hit communities. While we now know a lot about how this
crisis affected the global economy, we still know very little about
how it affected the people who lost their homes. Foreclosed America
offers the first representative portrait of those people-who they
are, how and where they live after losing their homes, and what
they have to say about their finances, their neighborhoods, and
American politics. It is a sobering picture of Americans down on
their luck, and of a crisis that is testing American democracy.
John and Abigail Adams' reflections on an emerging nation as they
move into the new President's House in Washington, D.C., are a
highlight of the nearly 280 letters written over seventeen months
printed in volume 14 of Adams Family Correspondence. The volume
opens with the Adamses' public and private expressions on the death
of George Washington and concludes with John's defeat in the
contentious presidential election of 1800. Electoral College
maneuvering, charges of sedition, and state-by-state strategizing
are debated by the Adamses and their correspondents as the election
advances toward deadlock and finally victory for Thomas Jefferson
in the House of Representatives. John's retirement from public life
had some sweet mixed with the bitter. The U.S. mission to France
resulted in the Convention of 1800 that ended the Quasi-War and the
so-called midnight appointments at the close of his presidency
ushered in the transformative U.S. Supreme Court era of John
Marshall, a coda anticipated in Abigail's request to John in the
final days of his administration-"I want to see the list of
judges." The domestic life of the Adamses was equally dynamic.
Abigail and John endured the crushing loss of their son Charles,
whose struggle with alcohol ended in repudiation and death in New
York. Son Thomas Boylston and daughter Nabby spent the period in
relative stability, while John Quincy chronicled a tour of Silesia
in letters home from Europe. At the volume's close, the
correspondence between John and Abigail comes to an end. As they
retired to Quincy, their rich observations on the formation of the
American republic would continue in letters to others if not to
each other.
John and Abigail Adams remained fully engaged in American political
life after they left Washington, DC, for retirement in Quincy. A
highlight of Volume 15 of Adams Family Correspondence is a series
of letters between Abigail Adams and Thomas Jefferson that debated
fundamental questions of the nation’s tumultuous early years. A
new generation rose in prominence in the period covered in the
volume, with John Quincy Adams returning from abroad to take a seat
in the United States Senate just in time to break with the
Federalists and support the Louisiana Purchase. The family
commented on other events of the era—Jefferson’s dismantling of
John Adams’s judicial reforms, the mobilization of the US Navy
for the Barbary wars, the growing bane of British impressment, and
the duel that killed Alexander Hamilton. Equally compelling family
stories emerge in the volume’s 251 letters. The failure of a
British banking firm proved calamitous to the family’s finances,
compelling John Quincy to quietly finance his parents’
retirement. Thomas Boylston Adams, acting as an occasional editor
of the Port Folio, carved out his public persona as a man of
letters. Louisa Catherine Adams wrote of motherhood and adjusting
to a new country of residence while providing a spirited
perspective on Washington society. As always, the heart of Adams
Family Correspondence is Abigail Adams, who survived a near-fatal
fall to continue providing letters of insight and wit that once
again show why the correspondence of the Adams family is a national
treasure.
A major contribution to the history of Parliament, to medieval
English history, and to the study of the English constitution.
ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW The rolls of parliament were the official
records of the meetings of the English parliament from the reign of
Edward I (1272-1307) until the reign of Henry VII (1485-1509),
after which they were superseded by the journals of thelords, and,
somewhat later, the commons. Chris Given-Wilson is Professor of
Late Medieval History, University of St Andrews

Die Mechanik von Industrierobotern wird - basierend auf Erfahrung
und Intuition - derzeit weitgehend manuell ausgelegt. In der
vorliegenden Veroeffentlichung werden die wichtigsten Schritte zur
Konzeption der Mechanik von Robotern aufgezeigt und hierfur
rechnergestutzte Verfahren angewendet, angepasst oder neu
konzipiert. Ein wichtiges Ziel ist eine gute Annaherung des
analytischen Modells an die reale Roboterstruktur. Die wesentlichen
Erkenntnisse dieser Arbeiten werden in funf Grundfragen
zusammengefasst. Mit deren Beantwortung wird ein eindeutiger
Loesungsweg zur Konzeption der Mechanik unter Verwendung der
entwickelten rechnergestutzten Verfahren vorgeschlagen. Unter
Berucksichtigung der aufgezeigten Grenzen lassen sich mit Hilfe des
erarbeiteten Instrumentariums kostengunstigere oder
leistungsfahigere mechanische Geratekonzepte realisieren.
