Abstract: The present invention relates to a new protocol for “Process development for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) synthesis from carbohydrates”. A convenient, atom-economic, highly selective and cost-effective process has been developed for the preparation of 5-HMF from cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, different sources of carbohydrates and further extended to glucose and fructose.

Abstract: A device obtains data, for a current media plan, that includes a cost adjustment factor, a duration of an unexecuted portion of the current media plan that is divisible into periods of time, and an unutilized budget, for the duration, that is divisible into budget portions based on the periods of time. The device generates a predictive baseline cost parameter by adjusting, by the cost adjustment factor, a baseline cost parameter of a previously implemented baseline media plan. The device predicts cost metrics for the current media plan using the predictive baseline cost parameter, and predicts performance metrics for the current media plan based on the cost metrics and predictive baseline cost parameter. The device determines target cost per point (CPP) values for the current media plan based on the cost metrics and performance metrics, and causes an action to be performed based on the target CPP values.

Abstract: An enhanced geocoding module may be used to determine various physical addresses located on the same street. The enhanced geocoding module may create a grid around a predetermined location and request the physical addresses of various coordinate points located on the grid. Additional features of the module may include a display that displays the grid with physical addresses located on the same street, various statistics related to a user of the enhanced geocoding module, and a color-coded scheme that indicates the status of individuals/groups located at the physical addresses. Furthermore, an enhanced disposition monitoring module may be provided in a plurality of computing devices (e.g., a handheld computing device, a remote server, etc.) to receive, transmit, maintain, and/or analyze disposition and related information that may be associated with geocoded information (e.g., a street address).

Abstract: An enhanced disposition monitoring module may be provided in a plurality of computing devices (e.g., a handheld computing device, a remote server, etc.) to receive, transmit, maintain, and/or analyze disposition and related information that may be associated with geocoded information (e.g., a street address). The enhanced disposition monitoring module may generate a report based on the analysis of the information, including for example, reports showing performance of salespeople and sales in particular neighborhoods. Moreover, the collected information may be analyzed and the resulting data models may be licensed to third-party entities.
