Global Climate Change: Research Explorer The earth’s climate has warmed and cooled for millions of years, since long before we appeared on the scene. There’s no doubt that the climate is growing warmer currently; indications of that change are all around us. Though climate change isn’t new, the study of how human activity affects the earth’s climate is. The exploration of climate change encompasses many fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and even sociology. At this Web site, you can explore scientific data relating to the atmosphere, the oceans, the areas covered by ice and snow, and the living organisms in all these domains. You’ll also get a sense of how scientists study natural phenomena—how researchers gather evidence, test theories, and come to conclusions.

Welcome to KINAXO Biotechnologies In February 2011 Evotec AG acquired Kinaxo Biotechnologies GmbH, a Munich-based company offering unique market-leading proteomics applications.

"Managing for Value: Developing a Performance Measurement System Integrating Economic Value Added and the Balanced Scorecard in Strategic Planning" by Fletcher, Harold D.; Smith, Darlene Brannigan - Journal of Business Strategies, Vol. 21, Issue 1, Spring Abstract Economic value added (EVA) systems and the balanced scorecard (BSC) have generated a tremendous interest in corporate America recently as approaches to performance management. Implementation of these methodologies has not proven to be easy. This paper introduces the analytical hierarchy process and shows how this methodology addresses the limitations ore VA and BSC by integrating them into one comprehensive system. Introduction Managing for value has become the mantra of today's executives as the reality of today's competitive environments force businesses to focus on improving profitability. We focus on the development of a complementary system of managerial metrics linking the EVA system to the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) using analytical hierarchy processing (AHP). Economic Value Added A paramount objective of management should be the creation of value for the firm.

Welcome | CHDI General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was a multilateral agreement regulating international trade. According to its preamble, its purpose was the "substantial reduction of tariffs and other trade barriers and the elimination of preferences, on a reciprocal and mutually advantageous basis." It was negotiated during the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment and was the outcome of the failure of negotiating governments to create the International Trade Organization (ITO). GATT was signed in 1947 and lasted until 1994, when it was replaced by the World Trade Organization in 1995. The original GATT text (GATT 1947) is still in effect under the WTO framework, subject to the modifications of GATT 1994.[1] Rounds[edit] GATT held a total of nine rounds, Annecy Round: 1949[edit] The second round took place in 1949 in Annecy, France. 13 countries took part in the round. Torquay Round: 1951[edit] The third round occurred in Torquay, England in 1950. Geneva Round: 1955–59[edit]
