Airlines are not able to conduct their businesses in the same way as other global
transnational industries. They are inhibited by the foreign ownership restrictions in Air
Services Agreements and national laws. Since the United Kingdom and the United
States signed the first Bermuda agreement in 1946, the nationality clauses contained in
virtually all bilaterals have limited the companies designated to provide services to
those airlines owned and managed by nationals of the respective countries. A key reason
why foreign ownership rules remain in place is that they protect national airlines. In
doing so, they also limit the strategies available to governments whose carriers are in
difficulties. The 57 years old bilateral system restricts the development of international
air services, adversely affecting airlines and their users- travelle...

When an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is encapsulated within, or attached to, a carrier, drug safety and efficacy can be considerably increased and new therapies are possible. In this work, two different types of low-dimensional carriers have been explored as potential advanced drug delivery systems. These comprise polymer nanofibers, a type of 1D-system, and two 2D systems: layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and hydroxy double salts (HDSs). Three types of nanofibers were initially produced by electrospinning: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/sodium ibuprofen (SI), PVP/sodium alginate (SA)/SI and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/SA/SI. The fibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and drug release explored. The PEO/SA/SI fibers showed interesti...
Cellular manufacturing is an important approach to the organisation of production. Large
benefits are claimed over traditional functional organisation, and it is compatible with
prominent manufacturing theories, such as just-in-time, total quality management, and
computer integrated manufacturing. Several very successful applications of cellular
manufacturing have been reported, but a wide range of performance improvements has also
been observed. Many benefits ofcellular manufacturing do not arise directly from changing
the organisation and layout ofdirect production resources, but from changes to the way the
production process is operated, managed and controlled, that are made possible by the
cellular organisation. Underachievement occurs when companies do not identify and exploit
such opportunities. This research aims to address the ...
