"The next transition point is where we start accessing help because things are becoming more difficult on a day-to-day basis.

We're here to help you cope and adapt; Admiral Nurses have been working with families affected by dementia since the early Nineties, but with around 800,000 people in the UK living with the condition, there's a huge shortfall.

In analyzing interview data, we identified eight types of technology transition points. A better understanding of the types of technology transitions--and the priorities likely to accompany them-will further clarify the contribution and thus the strategic impact and organizational standing of the CTO.

Dynamic technology leadership: the adaptive role of the CTO: effective CTOs have a wide array of evolving priorities that relate to technology transition points that can be either imposed by the external environment or initiated from within the organization

For the period from the maximum to the transition point, the sine curve used is sometimes treated as a the second quadrant of the same sine curve used for the period up to the maximum (Parton and Logan 1981; Goudriaan and van Laar 1994), although others have preferred a separate sine curve with a different phase length for this section (Cesaraccio et al.

Key characteristics are a high melting point, stiffness over a wide temperature range and high glass transition point. These translate into warp-free electronics connectors and heat-resistant housings and modules for LEDs, and in the automotive industry DSM says the material will be able to support new developments in under-bonnet applications for electrical systems, air/fuel and powertrain components.
