Aim and Objectives. The ultimate aim of this work was to characterize formulations for the delivery of pDNA and develop methods for their characterization, which could subsequently be adapted for the delivery of siRNA. Specific objectives related to pDNA delivery were: • Measure the impact of using biorelevant media (HBSS vs water) on the physicochemical properties of the formulations, • Investigate the effect of charge ratio on the formulation properties and transfection efficacy in Calu-3 respiratory epithelial cells, • Compare the physicochemical properties of the formulations with their transfection efficacy in respiratory cells in vitro.

Aim and Objectives. The motivation to study value co-creation in the organic food and drink industry is that there is a dearth of information in this area. Furthermore, the organic sector is increasing in importance yet has been neglected in the research into how the organic customers and suppliers co-create value. The overall purpose of the research is to explore the phenomenon of value co-creation in larger customer-SME supplier relationships. The findings are particularly relevant in informing the subject of “How to co-create value in customer-supplier relationships.” The aim of this research is to create a more informed and sophisticated construction of the phenomenon of value co-creation in the customer-supplier dyad than the previous constructions (e.g. Forsström 2005a). Through the findings, the study argues that value co-creation should be entrenched in the IMP Interaction Approach. General question How do organic food and drink SME suppliers co-create value in business relationships with their larger customers? Specific objectives
Aim and Objectives. The main aim of the assessment is to take a view on the success of the Skills Strategy. In particular we would expect the contractor to answer the following questions: To what extent is the collection of activities within the Skills Strategy making progress towards an Internationally competitive skills base (as measured by economically valuable skills with qualification attainment) and the economic and social benefits associated with that? How far are they adding value in terms of their contribution to growth and productivity and wider social goals? The extent to which market mechanisms for employers and for individuals, such as economic incentives, signals, and information, are aligned with the strategy aims; and the extent to which other behaviour change mechanisms are aligned. How successful has the strategy in delivering the coalition principles of: Fairness – how far has the strategy promoted social inclusion and social mobility? Responsibility – how far has the strategy succeeded in ensuring that employers and citizens take greater responsibility for ensuring their own skills, to what extent is this evidenced by a shift in the balance of funding from public funding to employers and individuals where appropriate? Freedom – how far has the strategy succeeded in reducing central control to enable providers to respond to the needs of businesses and learners, and increasing the value for public money? How well does it appear that skills providers are responding to demand? Do businesses consider that if they go into the skills marketplace they will be able to find a supplier able to meet their needs? Does the sum of the parts come to more than one would expect? A secondary aim is also to take a view across the activities within the strategy and assess the following additional questions: What elements of the Skills Strategy are contributing most, what areas are contributing least? How far are they meeting their intermediary outcomes Which represent best and worst value for money? Are there themes that define the most successful elements? Are there themes that define the least successful elements? The purpose of this work is to develop a framework within which to assess the impact of the Skills Strategy. This framework will then be used as tool with which to undertake such assessments, as information from the individual policy evaluations becomes available.

Aim and Objectives. The overall aim was to improve the methane yield in anaerobic digestion. To achieve this aim, the idea was to add FOGs to semi continues anaerobic digestion systems. Due to the high methane potential of the FOGs, this addition will increase the methane yield, however it will also increase the risk of process failures. Thus, this thesis investigates if these drawbacks can be reduced whilst the operator still can reap the benefits of the FOGs high methane potential. Based on the work presented above, it has been hypothesised that HC could improve FOGs’ solubilisation, enhancing methane yield and process stability. Therefore, the following questions have been formulated:
Aim and Objectives. 2.1 Aim of the research programme The aim was to identify, modify or develop and then psychometrically evaluate a self- report measure of function suitable for evaluating the impact of spasticity management intervention on the upper limb. Key principles were the assessment of real-life performance and feasibility for use in routine practice following focal spasticity interventions in the hemiparetic upper limb.
