Moving Pharmaceutical PAT From Theory to Practice: Take Your Laptop to San Juan for Hands-On Training in NIR and Chemometrics, and ROI Assessment
(ContentDesk) October 19, 2005 -- The use of NIR spectroscopy and mathematical modelling is allowing more pharmaceutical companies to improve quality and reduce waste in their drug development and manufacturing efforts.
However, most courses now available tackle the two topics separately, and many present them in theoretical terms.A new course, developed by the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, IBS Caribe and Bruker Optics and Umetrics, will, instead, take a "hands on" approach designed to allow students to become comfortable with both tools.
Students will obtain spectra of blends, granulations and compressed tablets, and, studying detailed real-world case studies, use advanced multivariate analysis and design of experiments software to solve the kinds of problems most relevant to them.
They will also be shown a process for determining Return on Investment (ROI) from applying these concepts to their unique operations.Students will also receive a free 30-day...

Learn to Manage PeopleBy (c) Copyright 2004 If you are a manager you are by definition dealing with people. You are managing them. As such, to be successful you must be able to build up a rapport with those you are managing.If you are to get the best from your staff you must be able to encourage them, cajole them, or otherwise persuade them. Of course ultimately you may have to discipline them, but this is a last resort.Why is it then that so many managers are so bad at dealing with people?For those who have risen up the ranks of a large company this can be a consequence of being appointed as a reward for competence or even excellence at their previous job, but of never having being trained in management. They may have been excellent at what they did before but need to be guided, mentored, and coached for their new people-oriented role.A large company really has no excuse not to provide the training needed.

The Miracle of Forex
My father, who owns a small parts store and garage for vintage British sports cars, called me up recently and droned on and on about how he is getting killed by the Euro. Confused as to how the Euro could possibly be affecting his small and seemingly insignificant business, I asked him how. "Because of the Euro!" He went on to explain, after calming down of course, that the distributor that he orders his vintage parts from had increased their prices by roughly 30% due to the dollar's poor performance against the Euro. Apparently, it takes about $1.30 USD to buy the same merchandise that may be acquired with 1 Euro.Essentially, the relationship between the dollar and the Euro is the same as we have always had with the Canadians?only, we have become the Canadians in this bizarre scenario!After getting off the phone with dad I decided to investigate this currency exchange question a lot further and came to one startling but very true realization?the stock market is for chumps!
