Emerging Nuclear Power Countries: Potential Market for the IRIS Design
Emerging Nuclear Power Countries: Potential Market for the IRIS Design
The International Reactor Innovative and Secure (IRIS) belongs to the small and medium reactor category developed by an international team of nuclear industry led by Westinghouse Electric, LLC. It has several applications ranging from power generation, district heating, and desalination and cogeneration purposes. The IRIS reactor has unique features of enhanced safety, cost competitiveness and simpler operation procedures, offering enormous benefits to nuclear power plant operators. With these advanced features, the reactor design can potentially tap the emerging nuclear power markets. The design also addresses the concerns on huge capital outlays and safety issues associated with large reactor designs in emerging markets.

Asia Pacific Region Will Have The Most Polypropylene Capacity Additions To 2015
The Asia Pacific region has more than ten million tons of planned capacity additions accounting for more than 50% of the global planned capacity additions until 2015. The demand growth in rapidly developing economies of China and India are the reasons for the rapid capacity build up in the region. These two countries have more than seven million tons of planned capacity additions until 2015, accounting for more than 70% of the planned capacity additions in the Asia Pacific region. China is the largest consumer and importer of polypropylene in the world. The demand growth in the country has been more than 15% per annum for the past decade and has an import dependence of more than 30% per annum. The need to meet rising demand and reduce the import dependence has led to more than four million tons of planned capacity additions in the country from 2009 to 2015. Read more
Google and Future of Information and Copyright
On Wednesday, news broke of Google finally receiving a patent for their “graphical user interface.” The patent, five years in the making, puzzled just about everyone; how could something so simple require a patent? A day earlier, stories swirled of a popular Apple app developer who had his application rejected by the company because a feature in his product was too similar to their ubiquitous “chat bubbles,” which Apple claimed they have trademarked. The common thread between the stories is the topic of intellectual property rights, which has become increasingly popular in wake of the rise of social media.
With the help of Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook and more, information can spread across the world in a matter of minutes. We can access these programs from our phones, computers and iPods and know what’s going on before it even reaches the mainstream media. With all of these different methods, it’s easy for the true source to be lost in the shuffle. People can claim ownership of something, and the owner may never find out. The opportunity for someone to start a blog and essentially aggregate content from just about anywhere has troubled the news industry especially.
Research Your Market Before You Build a Membership Site
When you decide to build a membership site, it can be tempting to start picking out domain names and drafting out content immediately. Carried away by visions of wealth, many marketers fail to plan their site correctly, and neglect the most important part. Before you build a membership site, you should take the time to do proper market research. This article will discuss how to research your market before you begin to build your site.
First, you should find out if people are spending money in the niche that you’ve chosen. Take a trip to your local bookstore and spend some time browsing the magazine section. Are there entire magazines devoted to your topic? Are there ads in mainstream magazines devoted to your topic? Print advertising is expensive. If advertisers are investing money in print media, it means that people are buying their products. Therefore, there’s a demand for information in this niche.
Eight Reasons Why New Products Fail
The most optimistic success rate I have run across for new product ideas is about 3%. In other words, 97% of product ideas never successfully enter the market. There are lots of reasons for this low level of performance, but there is a consistency around a few common mistakes that routinely present themselves with inventors and new product marketers. These are not the only reasons, but if you can avoid these mistakes, you can greatly improve your chances for success.
The Product: The single biggest shortcoming in new product introductions is not fully understanding the product, its usage and the target market. A dead give away to this problem is when I ask inventors to define the target market and they tell me, “Everybody.” If your target market is everybody, you are doomed to failure. It is like shooting a gun at a bull’s eye. You will most likely never hit the bull’s eye if you are aiming at the whole target.
The Opportunity: One of the most difficult questions to answer in preparing a new product for market is defining the opportunity. Sadly, there is not enough information available about most product categories and if you have something that is entirely new, there are no reference points, but this is critical information for the decision-makers you will be dealing with. You must have some verifiable estimate for the potential of this product.
