The principles of Total Quality Management have proven to be invaluable to organisations in all sectors of business and commerce and to the individuals they comprise. Indeed many organisations have discovered the relationship between quality and profitability. Now, more than ever, it is important to develop a quality strategy by adopting the principles of TQM.
This important text provides a solid framework for understanding the basic concepts of TQM. It comprises three interlinked modules - fundamentals of TQM, methods of TQM and process management and improvement - and provides an integrated approach to this increasingly important business strategy.
Fundamentals of Total Quality Management is vital reading for students doing MBAs, and those on MSc courses in business studies and engineering featuring TQM models, as well as practitioners in quality management and control.
Any thin sample placed on the substrate within the standing-wave field will be irradiated by both the incident and the reflected beam as the incident radiation experiences total reflection at the substrate interface. A thin solid residue (from a droplet, or powder, a few 100 nm thick) will be subjected to a great number of standing waves, and its fluorescence emission intensity on average will be doubled, whereas a thin monolayer or layered structure (

The emergence and evolution of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) as targeted cancer therapies in recent years is a living example of the "magic bullet" concept of Paul Ehrlich, introduced by him more than a century ago. Consisting of three components, the antibody serving as the delivery system, the payload drug that kills the cancer cell, and the chemical linker through which the payload is attached to the antibody, ADCs represent a currently hotly pursued paradigm of targeted cancer therapies. While the needed monoclonal antibody falls in the domains of biology and biochemistry, the potent payload and the linker belong to the realm of chemistry. Naturally occurring molecules and their derivatives endowed with high cytotoxic properties have proven to be useful payloads for the first approved ADCs (i.e., Mylotarg, Adcetris, Kadcyla, and Besponsa). The latest approaches and intensifying activities in this new paradigm of cancer therapy demands a variety of payloads with different mechanisms of action in order to address the medical needs for the various types of cancers, challenging synthetic organic chemists to enrich the library of potential payloads. Total synthesis of natural and designed molecules not only provides a powerful avenue to replicate rare naturally occurring compounds in the laboratory but also offers a unique opportunity to rationally design and synthesize analogues thereof for biological evaluation and optimization of ADC payloads. In this Account, we describe our efforts in this area highlighting a number of total synthesis endeavors through which we rendered scarce naturally occurring molecules readily available for biological evaluations and, most importantly, employed the developed synthetic strategies and methods to construct, otherwise unavailable or difficult to reach, designed analogues of these molecules. Specifically, we summarize the total syntheses of natural and designed molecules of the calicheamicin, uncialamycin, tubulysin, trioxacarcin, epothilone, shishijimicin, namenamicin, thailanstatin, and disorazole families of compounds and demonstrate how these studies led to the discovery of analogues of higher potencies, yet some of them possessing lower complexities than their parent compounds as potential ADC payloads. The highlighted examples showcase the continuing impact of total synthesis of natural products and their analogues on modern medicine, including the so-called biologics and should prove useful and inspirational in advancing both the fields of total synthesis and biomedical research and the drug discovery and development process.
You are a great teacher! Have you ever considered about developing an algorithms & data structures course/material? I myself would pay in advance for that! Anyways, thanks a lot for this git fundamentals guide!
Thanks, that's exactly my goal writing these articles, bring fundamentals in a language easy to grasp. CS fundamentals don't need to be like black magic where only CS wizards can understand, that's why I work to fight that misconception about CS fundamentals
Total Solar Energy: all the energy in the solar spectrum that reaches us on the earth's surface. This includes UVA and B, Visible light, and Infrared energy up to roughly 2500nm. Heat often refers to the total solar energy.
Survey firms apply a technique called weighting to adjust the poll results to account for possible sample biases caused by specific groups of individuals not responding. The weighting uses known estimates of the total population provided by the Census to adjust the final results.
Although I have learned animation in art school here in Europe and trough other on-line sites, this animation course is the best choice for beginners, students and already working animators as well. For students, everything is explained and presented in a very obvious and easy-to-understand way. For already working junior animators, it is a great possibility to see the approach of a real professional like Aaron Blaise. It covers the entire spectrum of animation. Beyond the fundamentals, it includes a full demonstration of the animation process, from thumbnails to the finished animation itself. Very rare to find something like this today on the net, a real deal compared to the amount of knowledge incorporated into the tutorials.
A huge thank you for Mr. Blaise! Long live Brother Bear!!! :)
As OrthoFinder clustered the transcription factors together into far fewer orthogroups than OrthoMCL (897 versus 3024) we sought to demonstrate that it was correct in doing so. To do this we used gene-tree/species-tree reconciliation to determine if the orthogroups were true orthogroups if they incorrectly clustered sequences that are separated by a gene duplication event that occurred before the last common ancestor of the species in the analysis. Overall, 858 of the 897 OrthoFinder orthogroups (96 %) consisted entirely of genes that were correctly clustered together and only 39 contained some genes that were separated by a duplication prior to the last common ancestor (Additional file 6: Table S2 and Additional file 7: Table S3). Of the 897 OrthoFinder orthogroups, 210 were identical to ones from OrthoMCL and 471 OrthoFinder orthogroups were strict supersets of 2,271 OrthoMCL orthogroups (Additional file 6: Table S2 and Additional file 7: Table S3). Of these, 90 % (425) were true orthogroups that each encompassed on average four OrthoMCL orthogroups (1,709 in total).

Quality is best viewed as a total customer satisfaction package. You satisfy customers by effectively combining products and services. To help you get to know customers better, this lesson will discuss different customer types and how you can minimize customer complaints. You'll discover the role that your organization plays in providing high customer satisfaction by maintaining a quality philosophy and creating quality systems.
When companies decide to improve quality and better satisfy customers, they won't succeed unless all employees are behind these goals. Once you get employee commitment, you need to measure your progress. In this lesson, you'll examine a concept called "total employee involvement" (TEI) that will help you get the most out of every single person at your firm. You'll learn about the role that management and employees play in TEI. You'll also learn how to determine progress by using traditional and progressive performance measurements.
This Total Learning course is for anyone who is looking to grasp the fundamentals of Agile. It provides an overview of the Agile framework and insights that can be highly beneficial, whether you are in a business or a technical role.
