CONT

The goal of chemical derivatization is to modify the structure of the analyte(either a nucleophile or electrophile) using a chemical reagent(either an electrophile or nucleophile depending on the nature of the analyte) and, as a result, a new compound(the reaction's derivate) with improved chemical and physical properties for analysis is formed.

OBS

It should be noted that chemical derivatisation usually means that the alteration of a compound by means of a chemical reaction (or reactions) leaves essential parts of the parent molecule unchanged ...

DEF

... a scientific discipline dedicated to analysing evidence from a bioterrorism act, biocrime, or inadvertent microorganism [OR] toxin release for attribution purposes.

CONT

Microbial forensics combines principles of public health epidemiology and law enforcement to identify patterns in a disease outbreak, determine which pathogen may be involved, and trace the organism to its source.

CONT

Bioforensics, which is sometimes referred to as microbial forensics, or as forensic microbiology, is a developing interdisciplinary field of microbiology devoted to the development, assessment, and validation of methods for fully characterizing microbial samples for the ultimate purpose of high-confidence comparative analyses. It supports attribution investigations involving pathogens or toxins of biological origin used in a biological attack.

OBS

... the ultimate goal of attribution is identification of the persons who committed the bioterrorist act or biocrime, intentionally or inadvertently. In addition to microbiological analytical tools, traditional forensic analyses, such as human DNA analysis, dermatoglyphic patterns, analytical chemistry, tool marks, and other techniques will be used to analyze a bioterrorist event or biocrime evidence.

Key value drivers are those variables that determine the value delivered to customers. Managers should examine these both individually and in conjunction with each other to maximise value for customers and shareholders alike.

CONT

For example, airlines know that passenger load is the most critical variable affecting their profitability. Therefore they focus on increasing this figure, adding as much to shareholder value as possible without destroying value in other aspects of the business. Likewise, a television cable company knows that the number of subscribers is the all-important variable in determining their profitability. The goal of value chain analysis is to discover these key drivers of shareholder value by understanding how each activity the firm undertakes creates value for customers.
