Generally, documental research depends on written bibliographical note cards that help find important text for a given research.However, the manual search for frequently used data such as author, publisher, topic, gets complicated as records increase resulting in a time consuming process that hinders the desired brainstorming.The software here presented solves two main issues: it allows a smoother and quicker data entry, and the flexibility to search by multiple criteria matching information for a specific author, publisher, topic, subtopic and date.The software also eases text transcription and builds the documental references that will be cited on research papers.The software is based on the object oriented (OO) programming philosophy using Microsoft Access as a widely used relational database system.
Activity-Based Information Integrating the Operations Strategy
Authors: Da Rocha de Araújo José Augusto , Pacheco da Costa Reinaldo
Published: October 2009

In the globalized world, companies seek for new operations strategies to ensure world corporate success. This article analyzes how the cost management models – both traditional and activity-based, aid the planning and management of corporate globalized operations. The efficacy of the models application depends on their alignment with the competitive strategy. Companies must evaluate the nature of the competition and its competitive priorities; they should then define the necessary and sufficient dependence level on costs information. In this article, three dependence levels are presented: operational, decision support and strategic control. The result of the research shows the importance of alignment between the cost management model and the competitive strategy for corporate success, and confirms the adequacy of the activity-based costing model as a supporting tool for decision taking in a global strategy. Case studies in world class companies in Brazil are presented.

Authors: Bilich Feruccio , Da Silva Ricardo , Ramos Paulo
Published: October 2009

This paper analyzes the new concept of flexibility in organizations – of relevance both at micro and macro level. Information Economy (IE) modern function is specifically analyzed. The purpose of this paper is not limited to the study of information economy flexibility, but extends its focus to other areas of organization and economic studies, having as reference the proposed model. Although not covering all aspects regarding objectives and hypotheses, results obtained demonstrate that subsequent studies can lead to success experiences, since the models presented are: stability in relation to the deviations presented in the resulting equations; values that are very close to what is desirable for adjustment indexes, factorial loads, t-values, extracted variances and reliability; as well as other necessary aspects for the application of the technique. The approach focuses the analysis of information economy flexibility based on structural equations modeling to serve as reference for the development of adaptation phenomenon studies in relation to structures, strategies and organizational processes, against the environmental dynamics contemporary society is faced with.
ICTS and Enterprise: Conceptual Proposals to Generate Indicators for the Information Society
Authors: Peirano Fernando , Suárez Diana
Published: October 2009

This paper is an attempt to deepen the reflection on how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) diffusion among firms takes place. It adds to author’s previous works on the different strategies adopted by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Argentina in order to adopt ICTs. The paper is focused in the stylization of the different stages along the evolutive path while incorporating these tools and identifying the factors that influence its dynamics, with special attention to costs. The paper is also an attempt to make progress in the description of the paths or ways through which ICTs can improve firms’ performance. Four alternatives are pointed out, named “Economies through Information”: automation, access to information, learning and innovation processes facilitation and reduction of transaction costs. Authors try to make operable some notions frequently used by other authors interested in these issues and to formulate some hypothesis which still need further elaboration, but which will probably stimulate and inspire the debate around these matters.
Business Process Management with the Use of Patterns Methodology
Authors: Bonillo Pedro
Published: October 2009

Present companies require of complex businesses models with an organizational structure, processes and systems that must explicitly be designed. The task to design these business models is clearly interdisciplinary, since it requires knowledge of business development, different processes that happen in the company and of the processes management and technological applications. In software engineering context, it would be advisable to be able to count on a system of methods, tools and techniques that allow reusing the best practices during software development process, according to each one of the processes that are implemented in each domain. On this basis, in this work we propose an integral referential theoretician framework and a methodology that includes from requirements analysis to processes monitoring, supporting analysis, design, and modeling and configuration stages, through patterns use. The proposal methodology is conformed by two macro-processes: the first one related to the creation of the process itself. The second one corresponds to the administration, and includes: maintenance, administration of the process in production and the monitoring through management indicators.

Authors: Netto Abner da Silva , Da Silveira Marco Antonio Pinheiro
Published: October 2009

The objectives of this study were verify in what measure the small and medium companies accomplish the management security information and identify which factors influence the small and medium companies to adopt measures of management security information. The source research was exploratory-descriptive and the design used was the survey. The sample was compound of 43 metal production industries located in ABC region. According to management information security literature and Brazilian norm of information security were identified the tools or techniques of management security information and classified it into three layers: physic, logic and human. The study identified that the human layer is the one that presents the major shortage of cares in the companies followed by the logical one. The companies get used to have the antivirus as the main security tool/technique according to the researched companies to guarantee the safety of information. Besides that, the research showed that 59% of the companies have a safety satisfactory level and the main motivator factor to adopt the management security information is "to avoid possible financial loss”. On the other hand, all the inhibitors factors showed important to the researched companies like: lack of knowledge, investments value, organization culture and difficulty to measure cost/benefit.

FMEA and PMBOK Applied to Project Risk Management
Authors: Santos Flávio Roberto Souza dos , Cabral Sandro
Published: October 2009

This paper presents a risk management tool based on two well-known sets of concepts: FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) and PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge). After presenting an adherence analysis between the suggested model and PMBOK, we apply the proposed instrument in a real case study: an ERP implementation at the largest Brazilian mail service and logistics organization. The main results show that the proposed model was largely successful because it identified and classified risks. Furthermore, the model helped to document the strategies and action plans needed to respond to these risks.

Published: October 2009

ABSTRACT
IT has revolutionized the social and organizational life around the globe. Given the newness of IT as a technology, there is a lot of potential that needs to be explored. It is however, argued that as IT can revolutionize the economic development, by the same coin, although its mismanagement in adoption process can end up in problems or even straight failure of the technology at the business-end. This study was conducted with reference to opportunities and challenges in the IT adoption process in Pakistan. The aim of the study was to point out the barriers that are impeding the country’s computerization process in order to provide facts to the policy makers for smooth computerization. The primary data collected through structured questionnaires was analyzed and tested through correlation, regressions analysis and t-test. Out of 10 hypotheses, 3 were accepted while in the rest null hypotheses were not substantiated. Based on primary and secondary data analysis this study has found that all independent bureaucratic, political, education and social and cultural variables are mutually correlated and have significant impact on shaping and reshaping of IT in Pakistan, while the Pakistan IT policy is inconsistent, administrative machinery attitude is negative and non cooperative, procedures are cumbersome and implementation is weak and ineffective, not to mention the lack of IT knowledge on the bureaucratic side. The political environment is instable and law and order is worse which is discouraging the investment. Moreover, physical and legal infrastructure is insufficient and the country is lacking good quality IT professionals. IT organization alignment is another serious issue in Pakistan. However, government incentives and growing interest from the private sector indicate positive attitude towards computerization of the country.

Published: October 2009

Los puertos que disponen de una buena localización geográfica, gestión eficiente y servicios de valor añadido, tienen posibilidades de obtener un liderazgo a nivel internacional; como es el caso de la Autoridad Portuaria de Valencia, que ocupa un lugar destacado en el ranking internacional de puertos de contenedores. Los sistemas de información deben estimular la curiosidad de las organizaciones, deben facilitar el proceso de la toma de decisiones participativas y deben incrementar la habilidad de la organización para hacer frente a los cambios en el entorno. Los cambios que se están produciendo en el entorno afectan plenamente a la organización y por lo tanto a sus sistemas de informáticos. A través del estudio de los Sistemas de Business Intelligence en la Autoridad Portuaria de Valencia, se busca reafirmar estas presunciones de los diversos autores analizados. Para finalizar se debe resaltar que para que la información contable, tanto de la contabilidad financiera como de la contabilidad de gestión, el aporte del valor al proceso estratégico de las empresas, deberá contribuir con éxito en los procesos estratégicos de las organizaciones, seleccionando aquellos aspectos de la gestión contable que son relevantes para la estrategia de las organizaciones (Álvarez-Dardet et al., 1999). La evolución y la transformación que han sufrido las empresas en las últimas décadas en cuanto al progreso tecnológico y la variación en los métodos de producción, plantea la posible obsolescencia de los sistemas de costes llamados convencionales. Estos sistemas tradicionales no tienen en cuenta el impacto que supone la automatización de los procesos productivos y el cambio sufrido en el peso específico de los diferentes componentes del coste del producto. Las organizaciones tienen que ir evolucionando la información contable hacia una orientación estratégica, para proporcionar apoyo al proceso estratégico empresarial, evolucionando el suministro actual de información de la contabilidad financiera e incorporando información que proporciona la contabilidad de gestión, de esta forma la información contable de las organizaciones apoyarán más eficientemente los procesos estratégicos de las mismas.

Numerical Modelling of Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Horizontal Metal‐Foam Tubes
Authors: Lu Wei , Zhao Chang‐Ying
Published: October 2009

The flow boiling heat transfer performance in horizontal metal‐foam tubes is numerically investigated based on the flow pattern map retrieved from experimental investigations. The flow pattern and velocity profile are generally governed by vapour quality and mass flow rate of the fluid. The porous media non‐equilibrium heat transfer model is employed for modelling both vapour and liquid phase zones. The modelling predictions have been compared with experimental results. The effects of metal‐foam morphological parameters, heat flux and mass flux on heat transfer have been examined. The numerical predictions show that the overall heat transfer coefficient of the metal‐foam filled tube increases with the relative density (1‐porosity), pore density (ppi), mass and heat flux.
High‐Performance Air‐Processed Polymer–Fullerene Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
Authors: Nam Chang‐Yong , Su Dong , Black Charles T.
Published: October 2009

High photovoltaic device performance is demonstrated in ambient‐air‐processed bulk heterojunction solar cells having an active blend layer of organic poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT): [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), with power conversion efficiencies as high as 4.1%, which is comparable to state‐of‐the‐art bulk heterojunction devices fabricated in air‐free environments. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy is combined with detailed analysis of electronic carrier transport in order to quantitatively understand the effects of oxygen exposure and different thermal treatments on electronic conduction through the highly nanostructured active blend network. Improvement in photovoltaic device performance by suitable post‐fabrication thermal processing results from the reduced oxygen charge trap density in the active blend layer and is consistent with a corresponding slight increase in thickness of an ∼4 nm aluminum oxide hole‐blocking layer present at the electron‐collecting contact interface.
Characterization of flow regime transition and particle motion using acoustic emission measurement in a gas‐solid fluidized bed
Authors: Jingdai Wang , Congjing Ren , Yongrong Yang
Published: October 2009

Particle motion is a major determinant of the dynamical performance of a fluidized bed. It plays an important role in determining and optimizing the complex correlation of fluidization condition between particle‐particle and particle‐environment in a system. A passive acoustic emission (AE) technique is applied to monitor, characterize, and control the fluidization condition of polyethylene particles in a gas‐solid fluidized bed. Experimental results show that AE signals are very sensitive to the particle movements by analyzing energy distribution, which can help to understand the status of the system. The AE energy temporal analysis is further used to identify the transition of flow regimes. Moreover, the activity of particle motion can be quantitatively determined by using a combination of granular temperature and AE spatial energy analysis. This work provides valuable insights into the dynamic behavior of particles in a gas‐solid fluidized bed based on AE technique. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010
Modeling the mass transfers during the elaboration of chitosan‐activated carbon composites for medical applications
Authors: Venault A. , Bouyer D. , Pochat‐Bohatier C. , Faur C. , Vachoud L.
Published: October 2009

Hydrogels composites composed of chitosan and activated carbon were prepared for medical applications using the vapor‐induced phase separation process. Since the gelation process involves mass exchanges between the polymer solution and the air, the kinetics of mass transfer were investigated through experimental and modeling approaches. Among the formulation and process parameters, gravimetric measurements exhibited that mass transfers were mostly controlled by the initial ammonia partial pressure. A nonisotherm mass‐transfer model was developed to predict the nonsolvent and solvent exchange rates, therefore, the water and ammonia concentration profiles within the sample during the process. The numerical results were successively validated with gravimetrical kinetic curves obtained in a chamber where the process parameters were controlled. The model aimed also at predicting the pH moving front along the film thickness. The gelation time could also be predicted for different operating conditions (formulation and process parameters). © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009

Published: October 2009

We conducted a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the severity of sickle cell anemia in 1,265 patients with either “severe” or “mild” disease based on a network model of disease severity. We analyzed data using single SNP analysis and a novel SNP set enrichment analysis (SSEA) developed to discover clusters of associated SNPs. Single SNP analysis discovered 40 SNPs that were strongly associated with sickle cell severity (odds for association >1,000); of the 32 that we could analyze in an independent set of 163 patients, five replicated, eight showed consistent effects although failed to reach statistical significance, whereas 19 did not show any convincing association. Among the replicated associations are SNPs in KCNK6 a K+ channel gene. SSEA identified 27 genes with a strong enrichment of significant SNPs (P < 10−6); 20 were replicated with varying degrees of confidence. Among the novel findings identified by SSEA is the telomere length regulator gene TNKS. These studies are the first to use GWAS to understand the genetic diversity that accounts the phenotypic heterogeneity sickle cell anemia as estimated by an integrated model of severity. Additional validation, resequencing, and functional studies to understand the biology and reveal mechanisms by which candidate genes might have their effects are the future goals of this work. Am. J.

Irinotecan and its active metabolite, SN‐38: review of bioanalytical methods and recent update from clinical pharmacology perspectives
Authors: Ramesh Mullangi , Ahlawat Preeti , Srinivas Nuggehally R.
Published: October 2009

The introduction of irinotecan has revolutionized the applicability of camptothecins as predominant topoisomerase I inhibitor for anti‐cancer therapy. The potent anti‐tumor activity of irinotecan is due to rapid formation of anin vivoactive metabolite, SN‐38. Therefore, irinotecan is considered as a pro‐drug to generate SN‐38. Over the past decade, side‐by‐side with the clinical advancement of the use of irinotecan in the oncology field, a plethora of bioanalytical methods have been published to quantify irinotecan, SN‐38 and other metabolites. Because of the availability of HPLC, LC‐MS and LC‐MS/MS methods, the pharmacokinetic profiling of irinotecan and its metabolites has been accomplished in multiple species, including cancer patients. The developed assays continue to find use in the optimization of newly designed delivery systems with regard to pharmacokinetics to promote safe and effective use of either irinotecan or SN‐38. This review intends to: firstly, provide an exhaustive compilation of the published assays for irinotecan, SN‐38 and other metabolite(s) of irinotecan, as applicable; secondly, to enumerate the validation parameters and applicable conclusions; and thirdly, provide some recent perspectives in the clinical pharmacology arena pertaining to efflux transporters, pediatric profiling, role of kidney function in defining toxicity, drug–drug interaction potential of irinotecan, etc. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A Minimalist Substrate for Enzymatic Peptide and Protein Conjugation
Authors: Wollack James W. , Silverman Julie M. , Petzold Christopher J. , Mougous Joseph D. , Distefano Mark D.
Published: October 2009

Recently a number of nonnatural prenyl groups containing alkynes and azides have been developed as handles to perform click chemistry on proteins and peptides ending in the sequence “CAAX”, where C is a cysteine that becomes alkylated, A is an aliphatic amino acid and X is any amino acid. When such molecules are modified, a tag containing a prenyl analogue and the “CAAX box” sequence remains. Here we report the synthesis of an alkyne‐containing substrate comprised of only nine nonhydrogen atoms. This substrate was synthesized in six steps from 3‐methylbut‐2‐en‐1‐ol and has been enzymatically incorporated into both proteins and peptides by using protein farnesyltransferase. After prenylation the final three amino acids required for enzymatic recognition can be removed by using carboxypeptidase Y, leaving a single residue (the cysteine from the “CAAX box”) and the prenyl analogue as the only modifications. We also demonstrate that this small tag minimizes the impact of the modification on the solubility of the targeted protein. Hence, this new approach should be useful for applications in which the presence of a large tag hinders the modified protein’s solubility, reactivity, or utility.

Published: October 2009

The first synthesis of the newly discovered oligosaccharide of pneumococcal serotype 6C and its spacer‐containing analogue is reported. Conjugation of the spacer‐containing oligosaccharides of pneumococcal saccharides 6A, 6B, 6C and derivatives thereof with bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein carrier was carried out by using squaric‐acid approach to obtain the oligosaccharide–protein conjugates in excellent yields. The conjugates have been tested with a rabbit antiserum pool (Pool B) used for pneumococcal serotyping. The results showed that synthetic carbohydrate conjugates express epitopes found in native capsular polysaccharides of serotypes 6A, 6B, and 6C.
Microwave‐Promoted Palladium(II)‐Catalyzed CP Bond Formation by Using Arylboronic Acids or Aryltrifluoroborates
Authors: Andaloussi Mounir , Lindh Jonas , Sävmarker Jonas , J. R. Sjöberg Per , Larhed Mats
Published: October 2009

The first PdII‐catalyzed P arylation has been performed by using palladium acetate, the rigid bidentate ligand dmphen (dmphen=2,9‐dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline), and without the addition of base or acid. Couplings of arylboronic acids or aryl trifluoroborates with H‐phosphonate dialkyl esters were conducted in 30 min with controlled microwave (MW) heating under non‐inert conditions. Aryl phosphites were also synthesized at room temperature with atmospheric air as the sole reoxidant. The arylated phosphonates were isolated in 44–90 % yields. The excellent chemoselectivity of the method was illustrated in the synthesis of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis glutamine synthetase (MTB‐GS) inhibitor. Online ESIMS was used to detect cationic palladium species in ongoing reactions directly, and a catalytic cycle has been proposed based on these results.
IrIII and RuII Complexes Containing Triazole‐Pyridine Ligands: Luminescence Enhancement upon Substitution with β‐Cyclodextrin

Published: October 2009

Novel 2‐(1‐substituted‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)pyridine (pytl) ligands have been prepared by “click chemistry” and used in the preparation of heteroleptic complexes of Ru and Ir with bipyridine (bpy) and phenylpyridine (ppy) ligands, respectively, resulting in [Ru(bpy)2(pytl‐R)]Cl2 and [Ir(ppy)2(pytl‐R)]Cl (R=methyl, adamantane (ada), β‐cyclodextrin (βCD)). The two diastereoisomers of the Ir complex with the appended β‐cyclodextrin, [Ir(ppy)2(pytl‐βCD)]Cl, were separated. The [Ru(bpy)2(pytl‐R)]Cl2 (R=Me, ada or βCD) complexes have lower lifetimes and quantum yields than other polypyridine complexes. In contrast, the cyclometalated Ir complexes display rather long lifetimes and very high emission quantum yields. The emission quantum yield and lifetime (Φ=0.23, τ=1000 ns) of [Ir(ppy)2(pytl‐ada)]Cl are surprisingly enhanced in [Ir(ppy)2(pytl‐βCD)]Cl (Φ=0.54, τ=2800 ns). This behavior is unprecedented for a metal complex and is most likely due to its increased rigidity and protection from water molecules as well as from dioxygen quenching, because of the hydrophobic cavity of the βCD covalently attached to pytl. The emissive excited state is localized on these cyclometalating ligands, as underlined by the shift to the blue (450 nm) upon substitution with two electron‐withdrawing fluorine substituents on the phenyl unit. The significant differences between the quantum yields of the two separate diastereoisomers of [Ir(ppy)2(pytl‐βCD)]Cl (0.49 vs. 0.70) are attributed to different interactions of the chiral cyclodextrin substituent with the Δ and Λ isomers of the metal complex.
Liposomes by Polymerization of an Imidazolium Ionic Liquid: Use as Microreactors for Gold‐Catalyzed Alcohol Oxidation
Authors: Buaki Mireia , Aprile Carmela , Dhakshinamoorthy Amarajothi , Alvaro Mercedes , Garcia Hermenegildo
Published: October 2009

The bipodal ionic liquid N,N′‐bis(10‐undecenyl)‐2‐methylimidazolium underwent polymerization in aqueous media with potassium persulfate to form submicrometric liposomes. A TEM study indicated that the liposomes are the result of several morphological transformations of the polymer particles. Photopolymerization at room temperature led to spherical particles with some internal voids and polymer chains. We took advantage of the positive charge on the imidazolium rings and used a photocuring agent to form in a single step starting from the imidazolium monomer and NaAuCl4 spherical polymer particles containing gold nanoparticles (10–15 nm) in their interior. This system was found to promote the selective aerobic oxidation of 2‐hydroxybenzyl alcohol to salicylaldehyde.
