As our research clearly shows, companies have focused too heavily on technology in their contact centers and haven't paid enough attention to key process and performance measurement changes. Companies need to properly evaluate their customer-facing processes and provide call center representatives with supporting technologies that allow them to execute processes that improve operational effectiveness. Only in this way can they raise customer satisfaction and generate new business opportunities.

This companion is probably too massive to have formed the way we believe that planets do, namely from a circumstellar disk of gas and dust when the star was young. This finding suggests that a diversity of processes act to populate the outer regions of other systems.

This area is front and center with pretty much everybody, especially in the high-tech industry, where you have quick product model revisions.

This exercise gives responders an opportunity to learn lessons and tighten up planning processes without real-world damage or casualties.

ADIOS relies on a statistical method for pattern extraction and on structured generalization two processes that have been implicated in language acquisition. Our experiments show that it can acquire intricate structures from raw data, including transcripts of parents' speech directed at two- or three-year-olds. This may eventually help researchers understand how children, who learn language in a similar item-by-item fashion and with very little supervision, eventually master the full complexities of their native tongue.

It would not be unusual for a company to pay upwards of $6000 to $8000 for a single Black Belt certification, over four to six months. A certified Green Belt will be able to identify and implement solutions for about 80% of the problems that a Black Belt would be engaged in. This means that for about 35% to 40% of the cost, and about 50% of the time, a company will have a certified Six Sigma Green Belt productively improving processes and significantly contributing to the company's bottom line in 12 weeks!

This is going to be a real intellectual leap forward. You can start looking at (geological) processes -- hot springs, gullies, volcanoes -- and we can spot many more minerals.

In modern biological forms, it's not essential that water be present for DNA to have stability. There are other mechanisms that now exist in biology to accomplish that, and complex biological processes are possible that don't always require water. But in its most basic form, we now know that DNA bases are not stable and they are highly vulnerable to UV-induced damage.

The big integrated express providers, like FedEx, are looking for ways to use RFID in their hub distribution centers to increase throughput and productivity. A lot of fleet operators told us they are exploring the use of RFID to track inventory and mobile assets like returnable containers and racks. Still others are going to use RFID along with handheld computers to track processes like repair work in the field.

Companies in the high-tech sector, for example, set up service parts logistics processes to get customers up and running within four hours if computers go down. Medical parts manufacturers could design the same kind of network to handle their products.

A concern that produces its own raw materials, and works them up through the various processes until it delivers the manufactured product in the domestic or foreign market, can work on a narrower margin all around, and yet do full justice to its stockholders and employees.

For a decade, I had been studying a transparent worm, the C. elegans. I immediately thought, if you could put the G.F.P. gene into C. elegans, you'd then be able to see biological processes in live animals.

It provides an in-depth profile through the clouds where we can see processes in clouds which fresh water is created in.

As with most animal eggs, the early events of amphibian development are largely independent of the environment, and the processes leading to cell differentiation must involve a redistribution and interaction of constituents already present in the fertilized egg.
