Indian pharmaceutical industry is one amongst the leading players of pharmaceutical industry around the world. In present digital times, every aspect of the society has been digitalized. There are major transitions noted in pharmaceutical industry as well. Digital technology, has changed the working methods and emerged, as a cost effective means, with impressive target reach around the world. Yet, this platform, is not being utilized to its complete potential, due to the lack of awareness, acceptability and the deficient training of the working personnel. The marketing and sales professionals had a major impact of the digitalization on their working methods. It has changed the traditional marketing methods of industry, resulting in the urgent need of up-gradation of the skills of sales professionals. Hence, the views, trainings, awareness and acceptability of sales professionals regarding the digital technology is essential and must be kept into consideration for success of the industry. This is an indispensable component for any pharmaceutical company to attain growth and stand at par with the other pharmaceutical giants around the world. In this study, data of 303 sales professionals was collected and analyzed, recording their perspectives on digital marketing. We found that these professionals were aware and had good acceptability for the same. Most commonly used tools were website promotions, social media advertising, awareness campaigns, creation and management of subject related blogs. These professionals used it extensively on a day-to-day basis, for the maximal benefit of the company with providing the comfort of digitalization to their customers and other users.

India has built a large pharmaceutical industry through an array of measures in support of domestic firms. The absence of product patents enabled Indian companies to become world leading producers of generic versions of patented drugs. Low costs and a strong engineering tradition continue to sustain competitive strength. The implementation of the World Trade Organization patent regime in 2005 is driving a transformation of the industry. Key elements of the present shake-up include the return of ?big pharma? companies on a large scale and the emergence of several Indian firms that aim to become fullyfledged research-based multinationals. This article provides a description of the development and structure of the Indian pharmaceutical industry and explores questions and challenges arising from its integration into global markets.

Subsea completions are recognised worldwide as a cost effective means of developing marginal reservoirs, accelerating production and draining reservoir extremities which cannot be reached from conventional platforms. To date, more than 280 subsea completions have been installed around the world. Cobia 2, the first subsea completion in Australian waters, commenced production in Bass Strait in June 1979. It continued to produce until April 1983, when it was shut-in following the commencement of production from the Cobia platform. In its four years of operation, the well produced over 280 megalitres (1.78 million barrels) of crude oil, with peak well rates reaching as high as 750 kilolitres per day in the latter stages of its producing life. Overall, Cobia 2 has been a technical and commercial success.The need for regular pumpdown or TFL ('through flowlines') wax-cutting operations in the flowlines to maintain high levels of production generated a great deal of confidence in the use of TFL techniques for routine and non-standard subsea well servicing. In an industry 'first', TFL methods were developed to lock open and seal a leaking subsurface safety valve and, within it, set a special insert subsurface safety valve. This work allowed the well to be returned to production in a situation where a conventional workover of the well was not feasible.Other well-servicing techniques developed during the Cobia 2 project involved the novel use of a coiled tubing unit to retrieve TFL tools which had become stuck in the flowlines during the wax-cutting operations.The highly successful operation of Cobia 2 has proved the viability of this type of completion for marginal field development in Australia.

Abstract Over the last few decades, finite element analysis has become an integral part of the overall tire design process. Engineers need to perform a number of different simulations to evaluate new designs and study the effect of proposed design changes. However, tires pose formidable simulation challenges due to the presence of highly nonlinear rubber compounds, embedded reinforcements, complex tread geometries, rolling contact, and large deformations. Accurate simulation requires careful consideration of these factors, resulting in the extensive turnaround time, often times prolonging the design cycle. Therefore, it is extremely critical to explore means to reduce the turnaround time while producing reliable results. Compute clusters have recently become a cost effective means to perform high performance computing (HPC). Distributed memory parallel solvers designed to take advantage of compute clusters have become increasingly popular. In this paper, we examine the use of HPC for various tire simulations and demonstrate how it can significantly reduce simulation turnaround time. Abaqus/Standard is used for routine tire simulations like footprint and steady state rolling. Abaqus/Explicit is used for transient rolling and hydroplaning simulations. The run times and scaling data corresponding to models of various sizes and complexity are presented.

The UK Construction Industry through its Government Construction Strategy has recently been mandated to implement Level 2 Building Information Modelling (BIM) on public sector projects. This move, along with other initiatives is key to driving a requirement for 25% cost reduction (establishing the most cost-effective means) on. Other key deliverables within the strategy include reduction in overall project time, early contractor involvement, improved sustainability and enhanced product quality. Collaboration and integrated project delivery is central to the level 2 implementation strategy yet the key protocols or standards relative to cost within BIM processes is not well defined. As offsite construction becomes more prolific within the UK construction sector, this construction approach coupled with BIM, particularly 5D automated quantification process, and early contractor involvement provides significant opportunities for the sector to meet government targets. Early contractor involvement is supported by both the industry and the successive Governments as a credible means to avoid and manage project risks, encourage innovation and value add, making cost and project time predictable, and improving outcomes. The contractor is seen as an expert in construction and could be counter intuitive to exclude such valuable expertise from the pre-construction phase especially with the BIM intent of äóÖbuild it twiceäó», once virtually and once physically. In particular when offsite construction is used, the contractoräó»s construction expertise should be leveraged for the virtual build in BIM-designed projects to ensure a fully streamlined process. Building in a layer of automated costing through 5D BIM will bring about a more robust method of quantification and can help to deliver the 25% reduction in overall cost of a project. Using a literature review and a case study, this paper will look into the benefits of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and the impact of 5D BIM on the offsite construction process.

The first legislation in India relating to patents was the Act VI of 1856. The Indian Patents and Design Act, 1911 (Act II of 1911) replaced all the previous Acts. The Act brought patent administration under the management of Controller of Patents for the first time. After Independence, it was felt that the Indian Patents & Designs Act, 1911 was not fulfilling its objective. Various comities were constituted to recommend, framing a patent law which can fulfill the requirement of Indian Industry and people. The Indian Patent Act of 1970 was enacted to achieve the above objectives. The major provisions of the act, provided for process, not the product patents in food, medicines, chemicals with a term of 14 years and 5-7 for chemicals and drugs. The Act enabled Indian citizens to access cheapest medicines in the world and paved a way for exponential growth of Indian Pharmaceutical Industry. TRIPS agreement, which is one of the important results of the Uruguay Round, mandated strong patent protection, especially for pharmaceutical products, thereby allowing the patenting of NCEs, compounds and processes. India is thereby required to meet the minimum standards under the TRIPS Agreement in relation to patents and the pharmaceutical industry. India’s patent legislation must now include provisions for availability of patents for both pharmaceutical products and processes inventions. The present paper examines the impact of change in Indian Patent law on Pharmaceutical Industry.
