Every few years, there comes along a product or service that so elegantly and uniquely fills a market void that it requires no marketing effort and generates its own demand. The vast majority of products or services on the market, however, require significant demand generation efforts. This explains the flood of how-to books on lead generation, maintaining a healthy sales pipeline, or robust marketing strategies.In the veritable flood of consultants offering expertise on how to gen...

Despite an increase in life expectancy over the past 20 years, the number of novel, multi-drug resistant microorganisms has also risen dramatically. To reduce the risk of reemerging infections, and limit the spread of multidrug resistant microorganisms, it is urgently necessary to develop safe and effective therapeutic countermeasures. New antimicrobial chemicals are mostly produced with the help of microorganisms, and the bulk of medications now on the market are of this type. The use of ...

EnergyGlobal energy demand has more than doubled since 1970. The use of energy is strongly related to almost every conceivable aspect of development: wealth, health, nutrition, water, infrastructure, education and even life expectancy itself are strongly and significantly related to the consumption of energy per capita. Many development indicators are strongly related to per-capita energy consumption. Fossil fuel is the most conventional source of energy but also i...
