Not surprisingly, most of the interest lies in the heavily knowledge-based life-science industries.
The firm has also invested heavily in knowledge for decades: perhaps no other organisation has as much interesting data on global capitalism.Though lesser firms may be facing disruption, McKinsey dispenses a special sort of consultorial fairy-dust that is hard to replicate, and as much in demand as ever.
In order to help their staff conduct these projects, services firms have invested heavily in knowledge management systems.
In addition to the foundation described above, DfE-oriented designers relied heavily on knowledge gained from research to inform later stages in the design process.
Dredging efficiency relies heavily on knowledge of the types and volumes of sediments and rocks beneath the waterway to ensure the right equipment is used for their removal.
The calculation of the fundamental quantities relies heavily on knowledge of the magnitude of electron-collision cross sections, as virtually all physical processes in the discharge are determined or initiated by electron motion through the gas.
2, 4 However, complete-PBPK models rely heavily on knowledge of tissue concentrations, and as such application to clinical datasets has been minimal, raising doubts as to their necessity in most cases.
In particular, the initial phases of drug development rely heavily on knowledge gained from in vitro and in vivo experiments on model organisms, primarily from rat and mouse models.
It is noted that all these works rely heavily on prior knowledge, therefore they are not applicable when few disease knowledge are available.
This argument is even more reasonable in view of the fact that the expertise of any one scientist relies heavily on the knowledge, ideas, and observations that have been obtained by others (Hardwig, 1985) and that progress and growth in knowledge essentially results from collaboration (Oeberst, Kimmerle, & Cress, in press; Popper, 1968).
It wears its knowledge heavily, as a burden, a crisis, an injury.
