In this paper, we investigate a special case of new product development (NDP), that of radical innovation. When a company desires to go outside a current saturated market, it is necessary to offer a new product which is radically different from the competition. If successful, the offering will create a new market that the company can expect to dominate a least for a while until the competition str

This book chapter is a short presentation of different understandings of the concept of conversion, research on conversion, and the complexity of using this concept to describe religious mobility today. This applies not least to conversion where religions other than Christianity are involved. Conversion is also discussed in relation to secularisation and individualisation of religion.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Virala infektioner är och har varit ett stort hälsoproblem för mänskligheten. Många av de sjukdomar som förorsakas av virus är obotliga och spridningen är oftast snabb (ett exempel är HIV). Förutom att direkt förorsaka olika sjukdomstillstånd har virus också påvisats vara orsak till olika former av cancer. Under de senaste åren har dock forskare försökt att börja använAll viruses that infect bacteria, plant, or animal cells involve a genome (RNA or DNA) that is encapsidated by a rigid protein shell. After delivery of the viral genome into the host cell, new capsid proteins, which are encoded by viral DNA or RNA, are expressed and self-assembled into new viral capsids. The main objective of my research was to study the key physical factors of genome ejection tha

Fragmentation is a fundamental process, beneath the level of logics. Fragmentation occurs in our most everyday activities. We analyse (literally, to break into fragments), describe, and interpret by performing fragmentations. We propose a linguistic concept of fragmentation, namely a complementaristic whole of "syntactic fragmentation" and "semantic fragmentation", as foundational for Systems and,

The results of detailed measurements of the emissions from simulated fires with TV-sets are presented in this article. Results from both small- and full-scale fire experiments with flame retarded and non-flame retarded TV-sets are discussed. The measurements cover a broad range of chemical species including specific fire retardant agents and both chlorinated- and brominated dibenzodioxins and fura

This article outlines an experimental and numerical study of the short-term creep of High-Performance Concrete, HPC, with sealed curing and temperature under freezing point, which is compared with the creep of HPC at normal and elevated temperatures. For this purpose one quality of HPC was studied at 6 different temperatures (-15, -1, 20, 30, 40 and 60 °C) over a period of 66 hours. Parallel studi

JGrafchart, a Java based implementation of the Grafchart sequencecontrol and procedure handling toolbox is presented. Examples of applicationswhere it is or will be used are given.
