Formulas, Ingredients and Production of Cosmetics: Technology of Skin- and Hair-Care Products in Japan
by Hiroshi Iwata Kunio ShimadaToday, young cosmetics researchers who have completed their graduate studies and have entered a cosmetics company are put through several years of training before they become qualified to design cosmetics formulations themselves. They are trained so that they can design formulas not by a process of logic but by heart, like craftsmen, chefs, or carpenters. This kind of training seems a terrible waste of labor and time. To address this issue and allow young scientists to design novel cosmetics formulations, effectively bringing greater diversity of innovation to the industry, this book provides a key set of skills and the knowledge necessary for such pursuits. The volume provides the comprehensive knowledge and instruction necessary for researchers to design and create cosmetics products. The book’s chapters cover a comprehensive list of topics, which include, among others, the basics of cosmetics, such as the raw materials of cosmetics and their application; practical techniques and technologies for designing and manufacturing cosmetics, as well as theoretical knowledge; emulsification; sensory evaluations of cosmetic ingredients; and how to create products such as soap-based cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, creams, and others. The potential for innovation is great in Japan’s cosmetics industry. This book expresses the hope that the high level of dedicated research continues and proliferates, especially among those who are innovators at heart.

Formulating Principal-Agent Service Contracts for a Revenue Generating Unit (SpringerBriefs in Operations Management)
by Shuo Zeng Moshe DrorThis book examines contractual options for a performance based contract between an owner of a revenue generating unit and a repair agent for such unit. The framework of the analysis is that of economists' principal-agent problem. The contractual options of a principal and an agent are modeled as a Markov process with an undetermined time horizon. For a risk neutral principal, the authors identify the conditions under which a principal contracts with a risk-neutral, risk-averse, or risk-seeking agent and derive the principal's optimal offer together with the agent's optimal service capacity response. In essence, the book provides an extensive formulating analysis of principal-agent contracts given any exogenous parameter values. Ultimately a small number of formulas cover a large spectrum of principal-agent conditions.

Formulation for Observed and Computed Values of Deep Space Network Data Types for Navigation (JPL Deep-Space Communications and Navigation Series #3)
by Theodore D. MoyerA valuable reference for students and professionals in the field of deep space navigation Drawing on fundamental principles and practices developed during decades of deep space exploration at the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), this book documents the formation of program Regres of JPL's Orbit Determination Program (ODP). Program Regres calculates the computed values of observed quantities (e.g., Doppler and range observables) obtained at the tracking stations of the Deep Space Network, and also calculates media corrections for the computed values of the observable and partial derivatives of the computed values of the observables with respect to the solve-for-parameter vector-q. The ODP or any other program which uses its formulation can be used to navigate a spacecraft anywhere in the solar system. A publication of the JPL Deep Space Communications and Navigation System Center of Excellence (DESCANSO), Formulation for Observed and Computed Values of Deep Space Network Data Types for Navigation is an invaluable resource for graduate students of celestial mechanics or astrodynamics because it: * features the expertise of today's top scientists * places the entire program Regres formulation in an easy-to-access resource * describes technology which will be used in the next generation of navigation software currently under development The Deep Space Communications and Navigation Series is authored by scientists and engineers with extensive experience in astronautics, communications, and related fields. It lays the foundation for innovation in the areas of deep space navigation and communications by conveying state-of-the-art knowledge in key technologies.
Formulation of Statistical Mechanics Based on Thermal Pure Quantum States (Springer Theses)
by Sho SugiuraThis thesis introduces the concept of "thermal pure quantum (TPQ) states", which are pure quantum states in equilibrium. The author establishes a new formulation of statistical mechanics based on the TPQ states. This formulation allows us to obtain not only mechanical variables but also thermodynamic variables such as entropy and free energy from a single TPQ state. Furthermore, the formulation provides a new physical description in which all fluctuations including thermally driven ones are uniquely identified to be quantum fluctuations.The use of TPQ formulation has practical advantages in its application to numerical computations and allows for significant reduction in computation cost in numerics. For demonstration purposes, a numerical computation based on TPQ formulation is applied to a frustrated two-dimensional quantum spin model, and the result is also included in this book.
Formulation Simplified: Finding the Sweet Spot through Design and Analysis of Experiments with Mixtures
by Mark J. Anderson Patrick J. Whitcomb Martin A. BezenerMany chemists – especially those most brilliant in their field – fail to appreciate the power of planned experimentation. They dislike the mathematical aspects of statistical analysis. In addition, these otherwise very capable chemists also dismissed predictive models based only on empirical data. Ironically, in the hands of subject matter experts like these elite chemists, the statistical methods of mixture design and analysis provide the means for rapidly converging on optimal compositions. What differentiates Formulation Simplified from the standard statistical texts on mixture design is that the authors make the topic relatively easy and fun to read. They provide a whole new collection of insighful original studies that illustrate the essentials of mixture design and analysis. Solid industrial examples are offered as problems at the end of many chapters for those who are serious about trying new tools on their own. Statistical software to do the computations can be freely accessed via a web site developed in support of this book.

Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals (AAP Advances in Nutraceuticals)
by Anil K. Sharma Raj K. Keservani Rajesh K. Kesharwani Tingirikari Jagan Mohan RaoFormulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals focuses on various novel micro- and nanocarriers being employed in the formulation and delivery of nutraceutical ingredients to increase their efficacy, bioavailability, safety, and stability. It also highlights the current challenges and future strategies for the development of novel nutraceuticals and functional foods with enhanced health benefits. The focus is on the formulations and regulations.As compared to traditional drugs, there are no minimal regulations on nutraceutical products, which make them more market friendly. Since nutraceutical ingredients have no defined regulations at global level, they are not considered as medicine or therapeutic agents. Some countries have devised their own guidelines for regulating the usage of nutraceuticals, either as pharmaceutical ingredients or as food supplements. This volume addresses the need for common regulatory guidelines with important research on the production of stable and efficient nutraceutical formulations. The numerous regulatory frameworks being employed in Asia and European regulatory agencies in commercialization of nutraceutical products produced by manufacturing companies are discussed.Chapters examine the factors affecting the stability of nutraceuticals in food and gut environments by stressing the results generated from in vitro and in vivo studies and suggests good manufacturing practices to be followed for the development of nutraceuticals.Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals will be valuable for upper-level students, faculty, nutraceutical researchers and practitioners, regulatory agencies, and those involved in the production and development of nutraceutical products.

Forschung und Prüfung: 75 Jahre Physikalisch-Technische, Bundesanstalt/Reichsanstalt
by H. MoserIn den 75 Jahren seit der Gründung der Physikalisch-Technischen Reichs anstalt (PTR), der Vorgängerin der Physikalisch-Technischen Bundes anstalt (PTB), haben Physik und Technik die kühnen Erwartungen eines Werner von Siemens, des aktivsten Mitbegründers der PTR, weit über troffen. Es folgten völlig neuartige Lebensbedingungen für die Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Für Werner von Siemens stand die Förderung der Industrie durch eine "unabhängige Staatsanstalt" im Vordergrund der Erwägungen. Noch heute sind die Aufgaben der PTB mit der industriellen Entwicklung eng verknüpft. Ober die ursprüngliche Konzeption hinaus wurden im Laufe der Zeit alle Aufgaben zur Entwicklung und Darstellung der plysikalisch technischen Einheiten sowie bestimmte Funktionen auf dem Gebiet des Eichwesens dem deutschen Staatsinstitut übertragen. Zu den wachsenden Anforderungen an das "richtige Messen", der wichtigsten Aufgabe der PTR/PTB, trat die Mitwirkung beim Schutz des Staatsbürgers vor viel fältigen Gefahren der Technik. Die umwälzende neue Verkehrstechnik und die Ausweitung des Welthandels zogen auf allen wissenschaftlich technischen Gebieten eine engere internationale Zusammenarbeit nach sich, an der sich die PTB auf ihrem Tätigkeitsfeld stark beteiligt. Hierzu gehören seit einigen Jahren neue Aufgaben der Bildungs- und Entwick lungshilfe. Das gesetzliche Meßwesen erfordert ebenso wie die Darstellung und laufende Verbesserung der fundamentalen Maßeinheiten eine umfang reiche wissenschaftliche Forschungstätigkeit der PTB mit regelmäßigem internationalem Erfahrungsaustausch. In den Organen derMeterkonven tion und der Internationalen Organisation für Gesetzliches Meßwesen sowie in vielen anderen Gremien arbeitet die PTB mit zahlreichen Insti tutionen eng zusammen. Dabei wird beispielsweise eine internationale Vereinheitlichung der jetzt noch sehr unterschiedlichen nationalen Vor schriften angestrebt.
