The combination of environment and design has been termed ecodesign. Even if, as it appears, it would be more precise to use other, more specific terms, let us start with few ideas on ecodesign as it allows us to define better our application field (and because ecodesign is still widely used). So what is ecodesign? It is unquestionable that on the first comprehensive level the word eco-design is rather self-explanatory, as its general meaning derives directly from its component terms: eco-design is design following ecological criteria. Manifested as a compound expression of a vast complex of design activities, it tends to handle ecological questions with an upstream approach, i. e. redesigning the products themselves.

For many Westerners, something about China is so intense and exciting that it’s a social glue among those who’ve spent some time there. We met through a mutual acquaintance who knew we had backgrounds in China. Over lunch, we swapped stories (and laughs) about living and doing business in China — how challenging the market is, how strong a role government plays in business there, how overwhelming the country can feel, and how everything seems to take so much longer to get done. We both admitted that a solid howto guide could’ve saved us a good deal of time hard spent climbing the learning curve. And so Doing Business in China For Dummies was born.

The corporate market is now embracing free, "open source" software like never before, as evidenced by the recent success of the technologies underlying LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). Each is the result of a publicly collaborative process among numerous developers who volunteer their time and energy to create better software. The truth is, however, that the overwhelming majority of free software projects fail. To help you beat the odds, O'Reilly has put together Producing Open Source Software, a guide that recommends tried and true steps to help free software developers work together toward a common goal. Not just for developers who are considering starting their own free software project, this book will also help those who want to participate in the process at any level. The book tackles this very complex topic by distilling it down into easily understandable parts. Starting with the basics of project management, it details specific tools used in free software projects, including version control, IRC, bug tracking, and Wikis. Author Karl Fogel, known for his work on CVS and Subversion, offers practical advice on how to set up and use a range of tools in combination with open mailing lists and archives. He also provides several chapters on the essentials of recruiting and motivating developers, as well as how to gain much-needed publicity for your project. While managing a team of enthusiastic developers -- most of whom you've never even met -- can be challenging, it can also be fun. Producing Open Source Software takes this into account, too, as it speaks of the sheer pleasure to be had from working with a motivated team of free software developers.

Інструкція містить сучасні методи хіміко-технологічного контролю технологічних процесів лікеро-горілчаного виробництва, якості сировини, напівфабрикатів, допоміжних матеріалів, інгредієнтів і готових напоїв з метою підвищення якості продукції, її стійкості, зменшення виробничих втрат, раціонального використання сировини. За останні роки підвищені вимоги до якості продукції, розроблені нові і зняті з виробництва непопулярні у споживачів види напоїв, вдосконалені технологічні процеси. Для хіміко-технологічного контролю лікеро-горілчаного виробництва розроблені нові, більш прогресивні методи аналізу що відповідають сучасному рівню розвитку аналітичної техніки, вдосконалені існуючі методи контролю, в виробництві введені нові стандарти на правила приймання і методи аналізу В хіміко-технологічний контроль лікеро-горілчаного виробництва включені нові методи аналізу та показники, які раніше не визначалися. Інструкцію з хіміко-технологічного контролю лікеро-горілчаного виробництва підготовлено в Українському науково-дослідному інституті спирту і біотехнології продовольчих продуктів (УкрНДІспиртбіопрод). Хіміко-технологічний контроль лікеро-горілчаного виробництва - це визначення комплексу показників, які характеризують хімічний склад та фізико-хімічні властивості сировини та матеріалів, напівфабрикатів, готових напоїв та відходів лікеро-горілчаного виробництва, і встановлення відповідності отриманих результатів значенням, що приведені у відповідних нормативних документах. Хіміко-технологічний контроль відіграє важливу роль у виробничій діяльності заводу, так як дозволяє керувати технологічним процесом, забезпечити його стабільність, високий вихід та необхідну якість готової продукції. При оцінці якості сировини і готової продукції користуються такими поняттями, як якість, показник якості, базовий показник якості, рівень якості. Якість продукції - це сукупність тих властивостей, які обумовлюють її придатність до споживання за призначенням. При оцінці якості однієї і тієї ж продукції, але різного призначення, із всієї множини властивостей вибирають лише ті, які дозволяють досягти відповідної мети.
