It is paradoxical that the thrust toward development of oral chemotherapeutics is often directed at conditioning film modifications [ 31], while it now becomes obvious why many of these techniques show only modest clinical effects or require repeated applications to produce therapeutic changes.
Development of binders that are capable of delivering expected performance at low VOC is a major thrust of coatings research and development.
A central thrust of continued research and development into nuclear energy ought to be the design of satisfactory nuclear waste depositories and of safe reactors that are less susceptible to proliferation risks.
India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, thrust this crisis into the limelight of development issues when, in his inauguration speech, he promised every Indian a toilet by 2019.
