DEDHAM, MA, August 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) SAPexperts announces a new Case Study, "How a Pharmaceutical Company Reduced Its Business Downtime" available in their SAP Professional Journal Expert knowledgebase.
This Case Study focuses on a pharmaceutical company that implemented much cheaper conventional methods instead of near zero downtime (NZDT) in order to be able to stay within its maximum tolerable business downtime. Conventional methods are provided through SAP standard tools that are either delivered within a product such as SAP R/3 or SAP ERP Central Component, or obtained through SAP.
In this case study, you will learn the strategies around implementing conventional methods that helped this company to greatly minimize the effects of software maintenance and modernization and avoid commonly imposed outages. Walk through various recommendations, including how they were assisted with a twin upgrade and Unicode conversion (TU&UC) and how they solved performance issues.
Bob Croce, product director of SAPexperts comments, "Restrictions to system availability is detrimental to any company; it is imperative to decrease down time. This case study will show you how it can be done successfully by using conventional methods."
The Case Study is written by Mara Meyer, Service Architect, SAP, and Oliver Kapaun, Expert Support Consultant, SAP

Study: Iraq must overcome logistical, political challenges to become oil leader
2011-08-01
Iraq's large oil-production potential could put it in a position to vie for leadership with Saudi Arabia in the world oil scene in the coming decades.

Antioxidants of growing interest to address infertility, erectile dysfunction
2011-08-01
CORVALLIS, Ore. – A growing body of evidence suggests that antioxidants may have significant value in addressing infertility issues in both women and men, including erectile dysfunction, and researchers say that large, specific clinical studies are merited to determine how much they could help.

The brain's connectome -- from branch to branch
2011-08-01
The human brain is the most complex of all organs, containing billions of neurons with their corresponding projections, all woven together in a highly complex, three-dimensional web. To date, mapping this vast network posed a practically insurmountable challenge to scientists. Now, however, a research team from the Heidelberg-based Max Planck Institute for Medical Research has developed a method for tackling the mammoth task. Using two new computer programs, KNOSSOS and RESCOP, a group of over 70 students mapped a network of more than 100 neurons – and they did so faster ...

Endorsements matter but voters are wise to media bias
2011-08-01
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Newspaper endorsements for presidential candidates can influence voting decisions, according to newly published research co-authored by Brown University economist Brian Knight. The paper, co-authored by Chun Fang Chiang, demonstrates that voters are more likely to support the recommended candidate following a newspaper's endorsement, but any degree of influence depends on the credibility of the paper's pick. The findings are published in The Review of Economic Studies.
The researchers take into account that newspapers are potentially ...
Elusive prey
2011-08-01
WORCESTER, Mass. – Escape responses are some of the most studied behaviors by neurobiologists who want to understand how the brain processes sensory information. The ability to evade predators plays a vital role in the process of natural selection. Animals explore their environment to find food, find mates and locate new habitats, and have developed distinct escape responses to avoid predators, thereby increasing their chances for survival. Yet there are few examples that illustrate a complete understanding of the basic biological mechanisms of behavior with its ecological ...
