  • Bernard Rey, Präsident Des ING Renault F1 Team Die Ziele Für 2009
    Bernard Rey, Präsident des ING Renault F1 Team Die Ziele für 2009 Die Saison 2008 hat bestätigt, dass Renault an der Spitze der Königsklasse zu Hause ist. Nach einem enttäuschenden Start in die Saison bündelte das Team alle Kräfte, bewies in der zweiten Saisonhälfte beispiellosen Kampfeswillen und feierte in Singapur und Japan zwei Siege. Diese Ergebnisse unterstreichen den Erfolgshunger des ING Renault F1 Teams, der in der Vorbereitungsphase auf die neue Saison als unerschöpflicher Motivationsquell diente. Unsere beiden Fahrer für 2009 stehen fest und erst jüngst haben wir in neue, hochmoderne Fertigungs- und Entwicklungsstätten investiert – und damit eine deutliche Aussage hinsichtlich unserer Ambitionen für die kommende Saison getätigt: Wir wollen ganz vorne mitfahren und ein Auto auf die Strecke bringen, das um Podiumsplätze und Siege kämpfen kann. Unser Entwicklungsprogramm schreitet stetig voran und wir haben allen Grund, fest an das Erreichen dieser Ziele zu glauben. Wir gehen die neue Saison daher äußerst optimistisch und entschlossen an. Das ING Renault F1 Team ist der lebendige Beweis für die Fähigkeit unseres Konzerns, auch auf höchster Ebene hervorragende Ergebnisse und Erfolge zu feiern. Das Team kann sich daher bei allen Herausforderungen, die in diesem Jahr vor uns liegen, der uneingeschränkten Unterstützung aller Mitarbeiter und Partner sicher sein. Interview mit Flavio Briatore, Geschäftsführender Direktor des ING Renault F1 Teams Wie lautete Ihr Fazit zur Saison 2008, in deren Verlauf dem ING Renault F1 Team ein beeindruckendes Comeback gelang? Ich bin stolz auf die Arbeit, die das Team im vergangenen Jahr geleistet hat. Wir erlebten einen schwierigen Start in die Saison, aber keiner von uns gab auf – ganz im Gegenteil.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The ‘discovery of the world’ has been a stereotypical focus of human geography. However, the research helped me to discover a new world for myself. The fragrance industry delineates a rich landscape of sensorial stimulations. I appreciated not only the experience of smelling perfumes in different environments and the ‘look behind the scenes’ but the diversity of approaches to perfumery in this artistic industry. Therefore, my first ‘thank you’ goes to the industry experts that spend their precious time with me and opened their doors for me in France, Germany, and the United States. Thank you very much for introducing me to a world that you experience, develop, and change every day. Second, a dissertation is a long journey. This one has seen different companions until it came into being. It developed quite a bit over time. My friends in the United States and in Germany contributed through their critique, mental support, active interest, questions, guidance, and feedback. Thus, the second ‘thank you’ goes to all companions.

  • Mansfield Dissertation FINAL
    Characterization of Key Volatile Compounds in Red Table Wines Produced from Frontenac Grapes (Vitis spp.) A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Anna Katharine Mansfield IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Gary A. Reineccius, Advisor September 2008 © Anna Katharine Mansfield 2008 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As with any work, crediting everyone who provided help and support would produce a document as long as the dissertation itself. This is true of this work, in particular, as my part-time student status meant that many people had to make small sacrifices so that I could find the time to complete my studies. First, I have to thank Dr. Gary Reineccius for encouraging me to attempt this feat and supporting me throughout. His humor, insight and occasional silliness were essential to any success that I’ve had in my flavor analysis endeavors. In addition to guiding me towards a solid scientific footing, Gary has helped me establish sound instinct for the place career takes in the larger scheme of things, and how to maintain that balance. In the Dept. of Food Science, I also received invaluable aid and advice from Jean- Paul Shirle-Keller, a man of infinite patience, astounding knowledge and great generosity. Much of what I know about MS analysis, I learned from him. In the sensory realm, Dr. Zata Vickers helped me wade through the morass of statistical analysis, though I usually left her office with the feeling that the ultimate lesson sensory evaluation teaches us is that humans are inconsistent and statistically not reproducible...and perhaps that’s a valuable thing to remember, after all.
