The digeorge syndrome is a genetic disorder, which caused by the deletion in the chromosome number 22. This disease is characterized by the congenital heart disease, immunodeficiency, and hypocalcemia.
In this case, the most frequent clinical manifestation is hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia is the condition, in which the blood calcium level would be declined to a significant level.
Alliances fall into two broad categories: contractual (non-equity) and equity-based.
projects, strategic suppliers, strategic distributors, and licensing/franchising (see Chapter 6 for
definitions). These are also limited in scope and duration.
Equity-based alliances call for a higher level of commitment. Examples include strategic
investment (one partner invests in another as a strategic investor) and cross shareholding (both
partners invest in each other). A joint venture is a special case of equity-based alliance that
establishes a new legally independent entity (in other words, a new firm which is the JV) whose
equity is provided by two (or more) alliance partners.
Although JVs are often used as examples of strategic alliances,
not
all strategic alliances are JVs.
Essentially, a JV is a “corporate child” given birth by two (or more) parent firms, such as
SonyEricsson’s set up by Sony and Ericsson. A non-JV, equity-based alliance can be regarded as
two firms “getting married,” but not having “children.” The Renault-Nissan alliance is such an
example.
Networks are also a form of strategic alliance. For the purposes of this chapter, we define
strategic networks as strategic alliances formed by multiple firms to compete against other such
<span>groups and against traditional single firms</span>
The discovery of DNA, as well as understanding of its functioning and structure, may well be the most essential findings of the last century.
The impact of the discovery of DNA on medical and scientific advancement has been huge, whether it involves the manufacturing and creation of drugs to cure the deadly diseases or to identify the genes, which stimulate several of the diseases.
The understanding of DNA and its structural composition has led to the discovery of various technologies that helps in the fields like genetic testing, identifying viruses, crime investigation, production of genetically modified organisms, and various others.
