			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Portable fuel cells are poised to achieve significant growth as units become smaller and fuels less expensive. According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, &#8220;Economies of scale do not entirely solve the inherent high costs of high grade metallic catalysts used in micro fuel cells. Nanotechnology is poised to provide new ways to create advanced materials that can be used to implement portable fuel cells. More catalyst price reductions are needed to make portable fuel cells competitive with thin film batteries. Portable fuel cells are useful in cities to power bicycles and for advanced multimedia electronics that draws a lot of power.&#8221;</p>
<p>Most of the developing world, where energy and environmental problems abound, still gets around on 2 wheels. 2% of the 1.5 billion population in China owns a car. Cities have started banning the use of 2-stroke engine motorcycles in favor of LPG scooters and electric bicycles.</p>
<p>19 million electric bicycles were purchased in 2008. The trend is expected to continue. As more people need to travel further each year, fuel cells take on a role in short distance travel. As economies evolve, fuel cells provide a role for green energy. Purchasing power constraints and air pollution issues stimulate the need for low cost, zero carbon transportation solutions.</p>
<p>Portable fuel cell vendors are strategically positioned to develop and implement solutions. Technology costs continue to decrease. Practical fuel solutions continue to develop. Experiments with portable fuel cell products are starting to take place in various parts of the world.</p>
<p>Nanotechnology is being used to implement a variety of portable fuel cell solutions. Many different nanotechnology techniques are being explored. One is of a silicon structure, approximately 400 microns deep, much thicker than the 10-micron depth of a membrane in a traditional PEM-based cell. This design is expected to enable a much larger reaction surface area, enabling high power in a small form-factor.</p>
<p>To compress more power into smaller volumes, researchers have begun to build fuel cells on the fuzzy frontier of nanotechnology. Silicon etching, evaporation, and other processes borrowed from chip manufacturers have been used to create tightly packed channel arrays to guide the flow of fuel through the cell.</p>
<p>The point is to pack a large catalytic surface area into a wafer-thin volume. This approach is evolving, going beyond two-dimensional aspects to gain more surface area. Methods improve the performance of nano-scale fuel cells.</p>
<p>Three-dimensional structures improve current electrocatalysts that have traditionally been expressed on a flat surface. Two dimensional catalysts give hundreds of microamps per square centimeter, while three dimensional catalysts increase the surface area by orders of magnitude.</p>
<p>Fuel channels are evolving in ready-made in a commonly available, porous alumina filters costing only about $1. The filter is riddled with neat, cylindrical holes only 200 nanometers in diameter, and was initially used in labs as a template for the growth of nanowires.</p>
<p>Nanowires can be grown in a platinum-copper alloy, then dissolving the copper by soaking the filter in nitric acid creates electrodes. In place of a solid nanowire, each hole is left with a porous platinum electrode. The partially dissolved wires are structurally complex, as befits their random nature, and have an enormous surface area for their size.</p>
<p>The market size for portable fuel cell power at $80.1 million in 2008 is estimated to reach $4.4 billion dollars by 2015. Existing markets are from mobile homes and PCs used remotely. Strong growth comes as hybrid fuel cell systems evolve to support thin film batteries. The fuel will come from renewable energy sources. <br /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Innovations in Combating Infectious Diseases: Opportunities in therapeutics and diagnostics through application of proteomics, genomics, nanotechnology, and novel sources of lead generation<br /> </p>
<p>Infectious disease is not merely a problem of the past; despite significant breakthroughs achieved during the last century in the development of antibiotic, antiviral, and antiparasitic drugs and vaccines, the eradication or even control of many infectious diseases has not been accomplished. Of particular current concern are the problems of rapidly developing drug resistance, emerging disease, re-emerging disease, the threat of bioterrorism, and the speed of reaction to the appearance of virulent strains posing pandemic threats.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the effective treatment of infectious diseases is dependent on accurate and rapid diagnosis, and this in itself can present significant challenges, especially in cases where the disease progression is poorly understood or has long asymptomatic latency (such as prion diseases).</p>
<p>Successful drugs and vaccines against infectious agents that put millions of people at risk have potentially lucrative markets. The key to developing those drugs is to understand the pathogenic process and gain insight into where and how it can best be interrupted. This report makes a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the cutting edge of research aiming to reveal how bacteria, viruses, fungi, and prions infect and affect their hosts. It also assesses the new technologies and techniques that are being used to design and develop the anti-infective drugs and diagnostic methods of the 21st century. </p>
<p>Key features of this report</p>
<p>This report presents a snapshot of how new technologies and approaches are being applied to the discovery of new drug targets, vaccine candidates, lead compounds, and novel delivery systems that will enhance diagnostics and therapeutics across the whole range of infectious diseases:<br />• How proteomics is being used to identify biomarkers for new diagnostics in infectious diseases<br />• How proteomics is being used to identify novel targets for drug discovery and vaccine development in infectious diseases<br />• The impact of genomics on the search for novel targets for infectious disease drug discovery<br />• Novel natural sources for lead generation in infectious diseases<br />• Lead optimization techniques relevant to infectious diseases<br />• How the application of nanobiotechnology is impacting on drug discovery and drug delivery in infectious diseases</p>
<p>Scope of this report</p>
<p>• Gain awareness of the most significant areas of unmet need for anti-infective drug development.<br />• Build knowledge of the most promising diagnostics research – ripe for commercialization – for MRSA and community-acquired infections, bacterial meningitis, periodontal disease, and innovative ways for predicting outcome in hepatitis infections.<br />• Discover how proteomics and genomics are making an increasing impact on drug development programs, and how important infectious agents can be tackled by drug and vaccine approaches.<br />• Identify the new opportunities for small and large biotechnology based companies to undertake vaccine development based on proteomic and genomic studies </p>
<p>Key Market Issues</p>
<p>• More accurate and rapid diagnostics will remain a pressing need combating prion diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, hospital-acquired infections and bioterrorism threats.<br />• Diagnostics is a big area that is ripe for more commercial development, particularly for diagnostic kits that are fast and simple to operates by unskilled personnel, making them amenable to the point-of-care use.<br />• Personalized medicine will remain a priority; drug treatments need to be more tailored and efficient with fewer side effects, less frequent dosing, and faster action..<br />• Using genomics to monitor and carry out surveillance of infectious disease will become more important and more necessary, so that new outbreaks, spread of disease, and danger of pandemics can be better monitored and predicted by global warning systems.<br />• The need to identify, monitor, and respond to bioterrorism will continue to drive research into lethal viral infections such as small pox and ebola, and bacterial diseases such as anthrax and plague.</p>
<p>Key findings from this report</p>
<p>• Drug development, vaccine development, and novel approaches to therapeutics are needed urgently for bacterial, viral, fungal, and prion diseases, which cause high morbidity and mortality in both the developing and the developed world.<br />• To date, there has been an intensive research effort to use proteomics to detect, identify, characterize, and validate biomarkers and protein signatures in diagnostics for many different infectious diseases but validation and commercialization has so far proved relatively elusive.<br />• Drug resistance, emerging infections and the threat of bioterrorism make the understanding of virulence factors and disease pathogenesis essential to form a springboard from which to launch drug discovery programs.<br />• Genomics is being applied to drug discovery across the spectrum of infectious diseases, whether they are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, or prions. Genomic data can be used in public health surveillance and monitoring of infectious diseases, particularly when there is a threat of a pandemic or bioterrorist attack.<br />• Novel sources of lead compounds to screen against newly discovered targets are much needed; natural sources have already provided the starting point for several successful anti-infectives, and many sources remain to be explored.</p>
<p>Key questions answered</p>
<p>• Which areas of drug development in infectious disease could have the greatest impact?<br />• How can the relatively new technology of proteomics be used to develop leads for drug development?<br />• How are proteomic techniques being used in the design and production of modern diagnostic tools for infectious diseases?<br />• How are genomic technologies changing the way lead compounds are generated and providing ideas for innovative targeted drugs?<br />• In which bacteria, viral, fungal and prion diseases are fundamental research efforts showing the most potential for identifying compounds suitable for drug development?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thankfully, the global economy appears to be heading out of recession, which is good news for the IT industry, as history has shown that the economy and enterprise IT spending are closely tied. But what does 2010 hold for technology vendors? Are enterprise IT budgets going to increase? Which areas of the IT industry will be most attractive to enterprises? The &#8216;Enterprise Technology Trends in 2010&#8242; report addresses these questions through primary and secondary research into the enterprise IT market. Exclusive research from Business Insights gives insight into enterprise IT budgetary changes in 2010 and the broader business trends underpinning enterprise IT decisions next year. The remainder of the report examines 10 key industry trends to watch next year. 2010 may not mark a return to the freewheel spending of three to five years ago, but it still promises to be an interesting year for the IT industry.</p>
<p>Key features of this report</p>
<p>• Independent survey data of CIOs from organizations working in different vertical sectors and geographic regions<br />• Secondary research from analyst sources, annual reports, company materials and press articles<br />• Breakdown of enterprise IT spending forecast for 2010 by geography, vertical and sizeband</p>
<p>Scope of this report</p>
<p>• Gain insight into the 10 key technology trends affecting enterprise IT spending in 2010<br />• Identify key areas of innovation and new market opportunities in 2010<br />• Tailor sales and marketing messages to meet enterprise expectations<br />• Identify competitive threats</p>
<p>Key Market Issues</p>
<p>(1) Mashups/DIY IT: By 2013, Business Insights estimates that the market for enterprise mashups will be worth $1.74bn, driven by the growing involvement of major software players, evolving market definition and knowledge about mashups, emerging standards, increased uptake of SOA and cloud computing, and the recession.<br />(2) Virtualization: In 2010, virtualization will continue to to extend further into the enterprise with desktop virtualization and application virtualization set for rapid growth. <br />(3) Collaboration: The launch of Google Wave in 2009 could spur the adoption of enterprise collaboration 2.0 platforms and threaten the long-term viability of traditional productivity tools and applications.</p>
<p>Key findings from this report</p>
<p>(1) 34% of organizations are increasing their IT budget in 2010 – however, this increase is less than we have seen in previous years.<br />(2) The IT spending outlook for North America is more bullish than it is for Europe: 60 per cent of organizations expect IT budgets to improve in 2010.<br />(3) The three fundamental trends underpinning IT investment in 2010 are: cost cutting, doing more with less and working smarter. <br />(4) Desktop virtualization will move towards mainstream adoption in 2010, and by 2011 as many as 16 million desktops could be virtualized.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Worldwide dental implants are poised to achieve significant growth as patients become aware of the health benefits achieved from having viable teeth. Dental implants are in the category of optional surgery and represent the type of consumer spending that is postponed in challenging economic environments.</p>
<p>The companies participating in the dental implant market have found ways to manage infection, providing a higher implant success rate. Implantable devices are more stable in the mouth, permitting fewer dental implant failures. 69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal, or tooth decay. By age 74, 26% of adults have lost all of their permanent teeth. With the number of Americans over 55 growing by 60% in the next 20 years there is plenty of U.S. market opportunity. The baby boomer generation buying power exceeds $2 trillion in 2009.</p>
<p>The leading six dental implant manufacturers control of the market is based on the need for marketing in this segment, with Nobel Biocare holding the number one market position and Straumann holding a share of almost one-fifth and ranking as the firm number-two player. A large number of small manufacturers earlier accounting for a third of the market have shrunk to 14% of it.</p>
<p>Dental implant market innovations are those that position the vendor companies to meet aesthetic demands and increase clinician productivity. Positioning for profitable business patient care delivery can be challenging for clinicians. Tooth loss, gum and bone disease affect millions of people worldwide, on every continent, in every age group. Globally, several hundred million people are missing one or more teeth. More than 40 million people are fully edentulous in the Western developed world. These numbers are substantially higher in Asia, Africa and other parts of the world.</p>
<p>Worldwide, weaknesses in the global economy and sagging consumer confidence have led to an unprecedented slowdown in the dental market. Reduced income has kept many patients away from the dentist. People with steady incomes fear losing their jobs and are not spending even if they can afford to. Elective procedures are being postponed.</p>
<p>General practitioners are tending to treat patients in house with conventional alternative treatments, rather than referring them for implant treatment, despite its superiority. Customers are reducing stocks. Dental labs are more hesitant to invest in dental equipment, such as CAD/CAM scanners.</p>
<p>Dental implant market innovations are those that position the vendor companies to meet aesthetic demands and increase clinician productivity. Positioning for profitable business patient care delivery can be challenging for clinicians.

More than 40 million people are fully edentulous in the Western developed world. These numbers are substantially higher in Asia, Africa and other parts of the world.</p>
<p>For 2008 the global dental implant market was 2.3 billion Euros. The market for crowns and bridges is 3 billion Euros. These estimates size the opportunity of the global restorative and esthetic dentistry market. Nobel Biocare is the clear market leader in this market.</p>
<p>The outlook for 2009 is one of a demanding market environment. Deteriorating economic conditions in most markets continue to impact dental implant markets because consumers have less discretionary income. Visibility in economic recovery time remains low.</p>
<p>Nanotechnology Impacts The Dental Implant Market One of the most active and important current areas of research and application of nanotechnology is in the field of life sciences and healthcare. Many industry and business analysts now expect nanotechnology to revolutionize the pharmaceutical, medical devices, diagnostics and imaging sectors with annual markets of billions of pounds likely within five-ten years.</p>
<p>According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, &#8220;Nanotechnology has begun to impact the dental implant market in a dramatic manner. By increasing the complexity of the surface topography with the addition of nano-scale calcium phosphate (CAP) crystals new capabilities are available to clinicians. Surface topography plays a determinant role in the bone bonding phenomenon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Through a discrete crystalline deposition (DCD™) Process in which nano-scale crystals of calcium phosphate are added to the BioMet 3i OSSEOTITE® Dual Acid Etched Surface, a topographic complexity at the sub-micron scale is established. Changes in the surface improve healing and represent dramatic breakthroughs in technology.</p>
<p>Smaller market participants are active in their national markets and compete mainly on price, with limited investments in R&amp;D, training, education, marketing and sales. In countries like Brazil, Russia and India these companies hold over 50% of the market. With the Internet evolving as a channel, larger participants gain market visibility and strategic advantage on return on investment for the dentist.</p>
<p>Expanding use of dental implants by dental surgeons and general practitioners indicates a growth market as soon as consumer confidence is stabilized.</p>
<p>Markets for dental implants at $3.4 billion in 2008 are anticipated to reach $8.1 billion by 2015, growing in response to demand for better teeth worldwide. The technology is achieving a maturity level that makes the implants last longer and work in a more reliable manner, stimulating demand from an aging population. This market is poised for rapid growth as soon as the global economy recovers. The technology is more mature, leading to implants that last longer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Consumers still interact with enterprises through traditional means. The voice channel and email remain the most common ways consumers interact with enterprises. Journeying to a branch&#8217;s physical location is still common. However, web self-service and short message service (SMS) are gaining popularity.<br /> Speaking with live agents is by far the most popular way consumers choose to interact with the enterprise. When deciding how enterprises should improve customer service, most respondents suggested more or better trained agents in the contact center.<br /> Self-service automation still suffers from negative perceptions. Most consumers cited self-service automation as the most aggravating channel through which to interact with an enterprise. Moreover, very few respondents would opt for self-service automation as a first choice when contacting an enterprise.<br /> Although enterprises are excited about it, consumers are mostly indifferent about businesses reaching out via social networks.<br /> Adoption of newer visual technologies such as virtual personal assistants and avatars are more widely accepted in those countries where visual technologies via mobile devices thrive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aarkstore announce a new report  &#8221; Business Trends: Pharmaceuticals Technology Understanding Your Life Sciences Customer 2009 (Customer Focus) &#8221; through its vast collection of market research report.</p>
<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p>
<p>This Ovum study examines top business challenges, IT budget outlook, and spending priorities among pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Japan, China and India. It is based on the results of Ovum&#8217;s Business Trends primary research, conducted in Q3 and Q4 2009, with a total of 150 life sciences companies.<br /><strong><br />Scope</strong></p>
<p>*In-depth interviews with 150 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies</p>
<p>*Geographic coverage includes: US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Japan, China and India</p>
<p>*The study focuses on business challenges, IT budget outlook, and adoption rate of data and knowledge management solutions</p>
<p>*Respondents include IT decision-makers such as CIOs and CTOs<br /><strong><br />Highlights</strong></p>
<p>For the life sciences industry, regulatory compliance is and will always be at the heart of every IT investment strategy. Moving past this, executives are increasingly turning to IT to help optimize business processes. As the end of the recession nears, life sciences companies will focus on completing IT projects that were put on hold in 2009.</p>
<p>With the patent cliff on the horizon, life sciences companies must have robust product pipelines to maintain steady revenue streams. Small pharma and biotech companies are especially under great pressure to develop a successful drug as they are relying on funding primarily from investors, with little or no revenue coming in.</p>
<p>As generic competition increases, pharma companies aim to globalize their brand and increase their market share in the emerging markets. To increase their presence, there is increased M&amp;A activity with local organizations. In addition, pharma companies are outsourcing key business processes as they cut costs and become leaner.<br /><strong><br />Reasons to Purchase</strong></p>
<p>*Validate your market messaging and positioning in the life sciences industry</p>
<p>*Compare pharmaceutical and biotechnology IT purchasing plans across geographies</p>
<p>*Identify emerging areas of concern for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies</p>
