The transport processes of majority carriers through potential barriers at heterointerface layers of GaAs solar cell structures are experimentally analyzed by optical-injection-dependent and temperature-dependent current–density voltage (J–V) measurements. It is shown that the influence of front-surface-field and back-surface-field layers on majority carrier transport mechanisms is most pronounced within the J--V characteristics when high-concentration or low-temperature operating conditions are concerned. A methodology to work out the effective majority carrier potential barrier height at heterointerfaces is described and exemplified at GaAs solar cells structures. Discussion is provided on how a important improvement of the majority carrier flow at heterointerfaces is achievable by modification of the doping concentration profiles of the solar cell structure. The results are also applicable to other optoelectronic devices such as light-weight-emitting diodes or detectors.

Teach First bring brand new leadership programme to Yorkshire
On 28 April, Well Met at Leeds Beckett University will host one of the first events for Leading Together, an innovative new programme for schools from charity Teach First.
The national education charity is partnering with schools across the North West and Yorkshire and Humber initially, with plans to expand the programme across the country over the next few years.
With around 100 school leaders coming to Cloth Hall Court to take part in the inaugural programme, the event is set to be a catalyst for change in the region. Funded by the Department for Education's Teaching and Leadership Innovation Fund, the programme will be delivered completely free of charge to schools.
Bridget Clay, Head of Programmes for Leading Together at Teach First, said:
"We are working with schools in the North West and Yorkshire and the Humber, with plans to expand across the country. We will be working with 85 schools over the next three years. That equates to supporting 1,600 teachers and leaders, resulting in an impact on an estimated 200,000 pupils.
"Teach First know from working with thousands of schools that great leadership is key to improving outcomes for pupils. The Leading Together programme will provide support for schools to help them build strong leadership teams. We'll offer training, advice and support so school can develop outstanding leadership and drive improvements for their pupils.
"We have an established relationship with the conference team at Well Met and Cloth Hall Court is a perfect venue for us to launch this exciting development in Teach First's programme. The city centre location with its state-of-the-art facilities and the hands-on support that we get from the conference team, will I'm sure make this a successful launch for this exciting leadership programme."
Each participating school will receive two years' support, tailored for their needs, along with coaching from an experienced, and importantly, locally-based senior leader. Learning modules, local networks and a pot of funding for specialist support will also be available throughout the programme.
Commenting on the event and how Well Met have adapted their offering for this conference, Clare Vidler, Conference Manager for Well Met, said:
"We are delighted to welcome back Teach First and are honoured to host their inaugural Leading Together event. It's testament to the strong partnership that we have developed with the organisation and the collaborative working we have with our wider stakeholders that make Leeds as a city, and Well Met as a conference venue, an attractive proposition.
We continue to work closely with Teach First so that we can tailor our offering to suit their needs and we do everything that we can to make sure that their event runs smoothly, and delegates go away with a positive experience."
Teach First's annual Summer Institute and Teacher Development Conference for trainee teachers will return to Leeds between 23-27 July.

Q: Arbitrarily using Sin and Cos as eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian? In the context of quantum optics, the rotating wave Hamiltonian can be written:
$\hbar\begin{pmatrix}
-\Delta & \Omega/2\\
\Omega/2  & 0
\end{pmatrix}$
The eigenvalues can then be calculated in the conventional way, yielding:
$\hbar\frac{1}{2} \left(-\Delta -\sqrt{\Delta ^2+\Omega ^2}\right)$ and
$\hbar\frac{1}{2} \left(-\Delta +\sqrt{\Delta ^2+\Omega ^2}\right)$.
So far so good.
My question is how do we get from here to the eigenvectors
$\{\sin(\theta),\cos(\theta)\}$ and $\{\cos(\theta),-\sin(\theta)\}$ with:
$\tan(2\theta)=-\Omega/\Delta$?
I've seen this result used many times without proof(we're only Physicists after all), but I can't find a proper justification anywhere. I assume it has something to do with sin an cos being orthonormal, but clarity would be welcome :-).

A: The matrix is real and symmetric, so it has an orthonormal set of eigenvectors. In two dimensions all the orthonormal bases (up multiple $\pm1$) are of the form $\vec{v}_1=(\cos\theta,\sin\theta)$, $\vec{v}_2=(-\sin\theta,\cos\theta)$ for some choice of $\theta$. After all, we can normalize them to have unit length, so the question is just about their direction, and as $\theta$ goes around, we get all the combos.
You just need to study the eigenvalue-equation to figure out which value of $\theta$ works for this particular matrix.

This week's Tuesday Talk is by climate activist Greta Thunberg, given at TEDx Stockholm back in 2018. In this passionate call to action, climate activist Greta Thunberg explains why, in August 2018, she walked out of school and organized a strike to raise awareness of global warming, protesting outside the Swedish parliament and grabbing the world's attention. "The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions," Thunberg says. "All we have to do is wake up and change."
Watch the talk here.
If you are as inspired as we are by Greta's amazing work, her documentary "I am Greta" is now out in theaters in the UK, and premiers on Amazon Prime 16 November. Watch the trailer here.
November is right around the corner, and it is a great time to get involved with Movember. Movember is a month long charity event in which people grow mustaches to raise awareness for issues of men's health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer, suicide prevention, and mental health. Movember has a great turnout in St Andrews, and if you are interested in growing a mustache for a good cause, or in donating, you can find out more on Movember St Andrews Facebook page, or donate directly here.

Is Content Marketing Heading for a Brick Wall?
By Antoinette Siu and Brice Dunwoodie | Mar 14, 2016
CHANNEL: Content Marketing
LAS VEGAS — One of the key challenges for modern marketers is to create content that is by definition "intelligent" — automatically discoverable, reusable, reconfigurable and adaptable.
That was the premise of last week's Intelligent Content Conference (ICC) here, a two-day event preceded by a full day of workshops.
Now in its eighth year, ICC 2016 brought together marketers, component content management specialists and technology professionals. The objective was to put a spotlight on intelligent content, a content strategy leveraging metadata, modules and fluid formats.
From Rockley to Pulizzi
Joe Pulizzi, founder of the Cleveland, Ohio-based Content Marketing Institute (CMI), bought ICC from The Rockley Group in June 2014. "We melded a little more of the marketing side to [the conference], but we've tried to keep intact the mission around really treating your content as an asset and thinking about it that way in an organization," Pulizzi told CMSWire.
"There's a lot of content being created in silos from large enterprise," he said of the content business.
"If we're going to treat this as a real profession, we have to start thinking that this is ultimately going to be part of the business strategy in the organization … We need to look at this as content professionals, regardless of industry."
Traditional, flattened content is siloed, inconsistent and locked into channel-specific formatting. In contrast, structured content can be organized into recognizable blocks of information, eliminating repetitive writing and translating of the same content and enabling re-use across collateral and departments.
In other words, creating intelligent content saves everyone time and money on content production, but the best practice also ensures higher-quality content can be adapted based on an organization's or its customers' needs — more than once.
In 2015, Gleanster Research found B2B content marketers in the US spend more than two-thirds of their time and about $5.2 billion a year making content. On top of that, the inefficiency surrounding content production ends up costing mid- and large-sized US B2B companies about $958 million a year.
Ann Rockley, CEO of Schomberg, Ontario-based The Rockley Group, started ICC in February 2009 to spread the word about intelligent content. "I just wanted to put it out there and [let it] grow and become an industry standard," she said.
Rockley, widely known for coining the term "intelligent content," offered this definition in 2008:
"Intelligent content is designed to be modular, structured, reusable, format free and semantically rich and, as a consequence, discoverable, reconfigurable and adaptable."
These days, the definition has morphed only slightly: a commonly referenced definition is that intelligent content is structurally rich and semantically categorized content that is therefore automatically discoverable, reusable, reconfigurable and adaptable.
Unfortunately, this doesn't always describe the content that is issued forth from typical marketing departments.
Rockley has remained as an advisor and participant for ICC, leading three sessions on intelligent content and workflow topics at this year's conference.
"Eventually it will completely be theirs," she said of CMI's purchase. "I am the lead person in intelligent content. My concept, my ideas, definition, my baby … They've put their own stamp on it, and they've done a terrific job."
Content Marketers Must Evolve
Pulizzi's team at CMI introduced a basics track in the conference for those newer to the intelligent content model.
"There's a lot of people here on the marketing side, this is brand new to them," Pulizzi said. "I feel like a marketer is like, 'Hey, we got a big idea. Let's brainstorm about it, and then … let's launch.' It could work, but that's it. It's done, and then they start over again every time.
"Look, you have to build a model so you don't have to start over every time. And then every department starts over every time. We just have to be smarter about what we're doing."
Two main camps of people came to ICC: the intelligent content people and the marketing people.
The content marketing side deals more with the creative process and campaigns, whereas the intelligent content side knows more about content engineering, semantics, taxonomies and related technologies. And Pulizzi argued that the two houses need to work as one. "We're betting on the fact that these two groups are going to start doing the same thing. They have to," he said.
"Both sides need each other, but right now they're really not talking to each other. Or that role could be one and the same at some point. There's a lot of different cultures here. Everybody's trying to figure it out, so I think these are your first movers."
Rockley, who some call the godmother of intelligent content, said marketers still have more to learn when it comes to adopting this practice, adding, "They're in the early phases.
"We'll see it grow, because, frankly, it has to. Especially as you move into the larger companies, you simply can't do what you need to do and meet all the needs … unless you start doing intelligent content."
Turning the Corner
Some more familiar with intelligent content believe in educating the new kids. Rahel Anne Bailie, chief knowledge officer of Scroll, a London-based content services agency, has attended all eight intelligent content conferences. "It started off with what I call the really geeky crowd, and now since CMI bought it … You've got people at all different stages," she said.
"Marketing people are coming in … and they don't know about intelligent content. They just know they have a pain point and are trying to figure out how to get their arms around it. And then you have people like me who have been doing content modeling for years, and it's second nature. Somebody will marvel over something, and you think, 'Yeah, but we presented on that 10 years ago.'"
Beyond the conference, Bailie teaches workshops on content strategy back in London, and she says education around these topics is taking shape.
Institutions from the University of Kansas to FH Joanneum, a university of applied sciences in Graz, Austria, now offer master's degree in content strategy. Programs differ, but at the latter school, for example, students learn code and use an XML editor.
There are several types of structured content technologies including XML standards like DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture).
XML, the industry standard for structured content, is the foundational format required to achieve this vision. It gives companies the agility and resources they need to adapt their content to consumers' changing behaviors. Additionally, the structure facilitates the metadata needed to support the smarter filtering capabilities from emerging technology.
Last year, Scriptorium Publishing, a content strategy company in North Carolina, launched a free DITA training for people to learn the standard.
"Whether or not you use the DITA standard, doesn't matter," Bailie said. "You're learning the principles of it, as well."
But the hope, at least for organizers of the conference, is for everyone to eventually subscribe to and practice intelligent content like the pros. For Rockley, the goal is "when people realize that one-off is not the best way of doing things."
The next ICC is planned for March or April 2017, and Pulizzi said CMI hopes to keep convincing people to work together toward intelligent content. According to Pulizzi, feedback on this year's ICC was positive.
At least one attendee with a technology background wanted more case studies and practical information to take back and "convince the boss."

Vasilije "Vasa" Popović (1775–1832) was a Serbian revolutionary. He became known as the "People's Prince" after the Second Serbian Uprising as the most reliable and most important informant of Prince Miloš Obrenović; the prince addressed him as "brother".

Early life
Popović was the brother of Princess Ljubica's uncle.

Career
Obrenović appointed him the chief prince of the Požega nahiye in 1819, despite his lack of war experience.

Prince Vasa was an actor and creator of spy and diplomatic missions, a transmitter of dispatches and oral messages. He headed a group of Serbian spies in other countries. However, his significance and merit for the liberation of Serbia remained a secret; the truth about his fate and role  emerged only before the 200th anniversary of the Second Serbian Uprising.

Aleksandar Marušić, "In the lists of champions of Miloš Obrenović's uprising from 1815, Vasa Popović is first mentioned as the scribe of master Jovan Obrenović (1786-1850) who was a brother of Miloš Obrenović, Master, Divisional General, and a Commander of Morava and Podrinje military district". Then he became one of Miloš Obrenović's three secret advisers. The uprising lasted only a few months. Diplomatic struggles, negotiations and agreements followed, first with the Turkish Marashli Ali Pasha and "Furthermore, all the way to the employees and emissaries of the then superpowers. The prince needed the most capable and loyal people for all that, and they, in addition to that diplomatic and intelligence activity, represented and exercised judicial and military power on his behalf in the domestic political field".

Marušić wrote several books on the Obrenović dynasty. He explained that the painting Takovo Uprising shows Popović's character. Folklore claims that Vasa and Miloš had ups and downs. He wrote letters to the prince in which he says that he served with both Obrenović rulers and knows "what kind of people they are". Unlike some Serbs who were Turkophiles or Austrophiles, he was among the majority leaning towards Imperial Russia.

He recruited merchants, travellers, ordinary people and priests as agents. He used a cane as a tool, now kept in the museum in Takovo. It is a two-part walking stick, with a built-in dagger. The lower part is a narrow cylinder in which Vasa carried confidential dispatches.

Popović corresponded with language reformer Vuk Karadžić.

Legacy
He died on 17 January 1832 in Belgrade under mysterious circumstances , according to  Milan Milićević in Pomenik znameniti ljudi u srpskoga naroda novijega doba. He was buried in the gate of the Belgrade church so that his remains could be transferred to Brezna near the church of which he was the founder. Vuk Karadžić openly blamed Miloš Obrenović for Vasa's death.

Q: Unable to use findOne(example) in Spring Data JPA unit tests I have a postgres production database, and my unit tests use H2. I just added some JPA repositories that use the JPA findOne(Example example), and now my unit tests are erroring with the message "No property example found for type".
I have a custom repository like this:
@NoRepositoryBean
public interface RefDataRepository<Model, Id> extends JpaRepository<Model, Id> {
    Model findOrCreateByExample(Example<Model> example);
}

public class RefDataRepositoryImpl<Model, Id> extends SimpleJpaRepository<Model, Id> implements RefDataRepository<Model, Id> {
    public RefDataRepositoryImpl(JpaEntityInformation<Model, ?> entityInformation, EntityManager entityManager) {
        super(entityInformation, entityManager);
    }

    @Override
    @Transactional
    public Model findOrCreateByExample(Example<Model> example) {
        Optional<Model> existing = findOne(example);
        return existing.orElseGet(() -> save(example.getProbe()));
    }
}

And my JPA repositories are simply:
public interface MyRefRepository extends RefDataRepository<MyRef, Integer> {}

In production code, this works as I'd expect: the findOne method is called with the Example, and if it's not found, then it gets the probe out and saves that instance. But my unit tests completely die when setting up the test application context.
All of my unit tests have annotations similar to this:
@ActiveProfiles("test")
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
@SpringBootTest
@ContextConfiguration( classes = { TestDataSourceConfiguration.class, MyApplication.class })

And TestDataSourceConfiguration is functionally identical to the equivalent in the production code, setting up the data source. (Eg. in test it's configuring the in-memory H2 database.) It does include the following annotations:
@EnableJpaRepositories(
        entityManagerFactoryRef = "entityManagerFactory",
        transactionManagerRef = "transactionManager",
        basePackages = {"com.example.services"},
        repositoryBaseClass = RefDataRepositoryImpl.class
)

(My production code similarly declares RefDataRepositoryImpl as the repository base class.)
I don't even get to the actual meat of the unit tests, so that's not relevant. But every test I use the @SpringBootTest annotation on has the same issue, along with @DataJpaTest.
Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to create query for method public abstract com.example.models.MyRef com.example.services.RefDataRepository.findOrCreateByExample(org.springframework.data.domain.Example)! No property example found for type MyRef !

How can I get my unit tests to recognize that Example is not a property but rather part of the Spring Data JPA magic? This is the only place where I use Example. The test database is simple h2 in-memory.


This site is a repository of the texts of my essays together with some readings of them and a collection of various examples of photos and artwork (and probably other stuff too, if I could only remember what on earth it was).
The essays were broadcast by WXXI 91.5 Classical of Rochester, NY on Salmagundy each Saturday at 9:35am Eastern Time, from the beginning of time (1985) till May 2009 when Entropa (evil Goddess of Change-for-the-Worse-or-Possibly-the-Worst) troubled the minds of the WXXIites and they retired Simon and Salmagundy, and Rochester went into a terminal decline---for ever. But I do continue on that brilliant bastion of all that's good and kultured, WCLV's syndicated Weekend Radio on many (mainly NPRish) stations traditionally on the first and third weekends of the month, though your weekendage may vary, (these are archived for a couple of months).
I suppose I should say something about me.
I was born on a mountaintop in Tennessee... wait a minute, no that was Davy Crockett! Um... Let's start again.
Few people notice that I'm English but in fact I am. Indeed I was born in the smallish town of Beccles (almost as far to the East in Britain as you can go without getting your feet wet) when it still was a smallish town and while we still had an Empire. Yes, I basked a mere one hundred and ten miles from the very Heart of Empire for the first glorious four months of my life, after which time I noticed that they had actually swapped India for me and, sadly, the next mumblety-mumble years have been one continuous post-imperial depression.
At university I studied philosophy and physics and so, quite naturally, became a photographer and graphic designer. In due course (which turned out to be at the rear-end of the seventies) a client sent me over to photograph a boat factory in Miami and I then spent some time visiting and exploring. Having but a flimsy and merely superficially intellectual grasp of the difference in scale between America and Britain I ended up in Rochester, NY in January, not expecting the weather to be noticeably different from Miami in September. A similar cultural discontinuum led me to interpret an invitation to dinner at a home "a short distance" from where I was staying in such a way that, on the coldest night of that winter, I walked the five miles. When my brain finally thawed out I discovered to my surprise that I had met a very nice lady called Ann.
And, even more surprisingly, had married her. Sadly our marriage only lasted for twenty-one years and five children, but in the meantime it did lead me to switch my occupation, via a stint teaching at first children and then real people, to computer programming (which actually turned out to be what I had trained for---but who knew?) This in its turn has led me to Texas.
I spend as much of my time as I can wrest from running an unrelenting, unpaid and unwilling taxi service for sojourning children, playing mediæval music, reading obscure books and trying with pathetically veiled desperation to write essays.
I do not go south for the winter.
Oh yes! And for those comparison shoppers out there here is another opinion.

AeroFarms Raises $100m from 'Patient Capital' to Continue Steady Growth of Vertical Farming Business
AeroFarms, the New Jersey-based vertical farming group, has raised $100 million in late-stage funding. The deal is the latest jumbo deal in the vertical farming space: Germany's distributed vertical farm startup Infarm raised $100 million last month, Bowery raised a $90 million Series B last year, while Plenty's $200 million Series B from 2017 is still the largest in the space.
The lead investor was INGKA Group, the parent company of furniture and meatball leader IKEA, an existing investor in the company. In fact, no new investors joined the new round, which was made up of existing shareholders including two UK-based, agriculture-focused firms ADM Capital and the Wheatsheaf Group, as well as Mission Point Capital, China's GSR Ventures and US asset management group AllianceBernstein.
AeroFarms' last round was Series D so this could be called its Series E, although things can get murky at the later stages. Also, the deal was arranged by an investment bank, JPMorgan, which is less common in startup land. The news broke in the Financial Times but AeroFarms has yet to announce the deal publicly or respond to requests for comment meaning it could still be open.
The round values AeroFarms at $500 million, according to the FT, which is the same valuation as quasi-competitor Plenty, the West Coast group that raised $200 million in a record-breaking Series B in 2017 involving Japan's SoftBank.
AeroFarms has been around longer than Plenty, however, founded in 2004 under a different business model, and raising its Seed round in 2010, according to PitchBook. Plenty was founded in 2013 under an earlier name of See Jane Farm and was in stealth for the first few years.
AeroFarms has now raised over $230 million in total but has been slow to expand, particularly overseas despite plans to do so. In 2017, when it closed its Series D round, a new investor was Meraas, the investment vehicle of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, vice president of the United Arab Emirates and the ruler of Dubai.
"We want to expand domestically and overseas, and we are excited about the potential for Meraas to help us expand into that region," David Rosenberg, CEO told AFN at the time. He also told AFN back in 2015 that he had a pipeline of farms on four continents. Currently, the company has two commercial farms in the US, including its flagship 70,000 square foot facility that opened in 2016, and a 30,000 square foot farm that opened in 2015 in Newark. It also has a 5,500 square foot research facility and a small 50 square foot school farm at Phillips Academy Charter School.
Talking to the FT, Rosenberg hinted that the business needed time: "One of the keys of this raise was to align ourselves with patient capital, that is willing to understand how we make a bigger impact."
He also "attributed the company's longevity to its scale and attention to detail. "This is an industry where the details matter and the pennies matter," he said."
Henry Gordon-Smith, founder of Agritecture, the urban farming consultancy and a leading voice in the industry, says that in most cases large scale vertical farms will take at least six years to return on their investment and that only a few years ago that was more like eight years.
Rapid advances in LED lighting tools and automation technologies are helping vertical farming to become more profitable each year as costs drop and become more consistent, he added. AeroFarms and the other large players have invested a lot of their investment capital into developing their own, proprietary tech systems in-house.
But the increasing development of accessible technology opens up the industry to newer players to launch and potentially accelerate vertical farming businesses more rapidly than the incumbents like AeroFarms, and at a fraction of the investment.
Some venture capital investors are betting purely on the technology to avoid getting into the business of growing and selling food but to take advantage of the growth of interest in vertical farming. (Disclosure: AgFunder is one such investor, recently backing Intelligent Growth Solutions, a plug-and-play vertical farming technology!)
But among vertical farm producers, having the first-mover advantage should hold AeroFarms in good stead when it comes to operations, added Gordon-Smith.
"I think the key to remember here is it's about operations – the tech works but most farms fail because they can't run operations smoothly. It's common to see vertical farms fail because they can't maintain a consistent product unit cost and keep fluctuations in labor costs stable and low. AeroFarms has an advantage there because they have been relatively slow and steady. As one of the earliest large scale VF operators, they also have the advantage of years of trial and error to guide them."
AeroFarms told the FT that it would soon be supplying Singapore Airlines as well as existing customers Whole Foods and ShopRite with its Dream Greens brand that includes rocket, watercress, and baby kale, and that it will be expanding into berries soon. All its customers are within a 'hyperlocal' 50-mile radius of Newark, COO Marc Oshima added.

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Reports Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Reports Net Revenues of $123.5 Million for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – August 8, 2022 – Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPH) ("Amphastar" or the "Company") today reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter Highlights
● Net revenues of $123.5 million for the second quarter
● GAAP net income of $17.3 million, or $0.33 per share, for the second quarter
● Adjusted non-GAAP net income of $20.7 million, or $0.39 per share, for the second quarter
Dr. Jack Zhang, Amphastar's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We've maintained momentum through the first half of 2022. Sales remained strong through the second quarter, allowing us to increase our investment in research and development. We are optimistic that sales will continue their upward trajectory into the third quarter, particularly with ganirelix's full quarter of sales and the upcoming launch of vasopressin this month, each of which presents new opportunities for further diversification of our revenue streams."
Net revenues
GAAP net income attributable to Amphastar
Adjusted non-GAAP net income attributable to Amphastar*
GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Amphastar stockholders
Adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Amphastar stockholders*
* Adjusted non-GAAP net income attributable to Amphastar and Adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Amphastar stockholders are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion in the section entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in Table III of this press release.
Net revenues:
Primatene Mist®
Enoxaparin
Other finished pharmaceutical products
Total finished pharmaceutical products net revenues
Total net revenues
Changes in net revenues were primarily driven by:
● Primatene Mist® sales increased due to an increase in unit volumes as a result of the continued success of our advertising campaign
● Epinephrine sales increased due to an increase in unit volumes as a result of competitor shortages
● Lidocaine sales increased as a result of an increase in unit volumes
● Phytonadione sales increased due to an increase in unit volumes and higher average selling price
● Other finished pharmaceutical product sales increased due to higher demand for certain products such as dextrose and sodium bicarbonate, largely resulting from competitor shortages, as well as the launch of ganirelix prefilled syringe in late June 2022
● API sales decreased due to the timing of orders from MannKind Corporation
as % of net revenues
Changes in the cost of revenues and the resulting increase in gross margin were primarily driven by:
● Increased sales of higher-margin products such as Primatene Mist®
● Decreased in heparin and enoxaparin component purchase commitments since these components are reserved to the lower of cost or net realizable value at the time of commitment
● These factors were partially offset by an overall increases in labor costs, as well as increased costs for heparin, the starting material for enoxaparin, and a lower average selling price for enoxaparin
Selling, distribution, and marketing
Non-operating income (expense), net
● Selling, distribution, and marketing expenses increased primarily due to increased advertising and freight expenses
● General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses and a decrease in expenses in China due to the restructuring of our subsidiary, Amphastar Nanjing Pharmaceuticals, Co., Ltd. ("ANP"), in 2021
● Research and development expenses increased due to:
◾ An increase in expenditure for materials and components, primarily for our AMP-018 and insulin products
◾ This increase was partially offset by a decrease in clinical trial expense as a result of a shift in timing for some of our clinical trial studies, as well as a decrease in expenses in China due to the restructuring of ANP in 2021
● The change in non-operating income (expense) net is primarily a result of:
◾ Foreign currency fluctuations in 2022
◾ A final settlement with Aventis in June 2021 which resulted in the reduction of accrued expense by $2.7 million
Cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $53.6 million.
The Company currently has three ANDAs on file with the FDA targeting products with a market size of over $3 billion, three biosimilar products in development targeting products with a market size of over $12 billion, and eight generic products in development targeting products with a market size of over $9 billion. This market information is based on IQVIA data for the 12 months ended June 30, 2022. The Company is developing multiple proprietary products with injectable and intranasal dosage forms.
Amphastar's Chinese subsidiary, ANP, currently has 17 Drug Master Files, or DMFs, on file with the FDA and is developing several additional DMFs.
Amphastar is a bio-pharmaceutical company that focuses primarily on developing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling technically-challenging generic and proprietary injectable, inhalation, and intranasal products.

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company is disclosing non-GAAP financial measures when providing financial results. The Company believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with GAAP. As a result, the Company is disclosing certain non-GAAP results, including (i) Adjusted non-GAAP net income (loss) attributed to Amphastar and (ii) Adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS attributed to Amphastar's stockholders, which exclude amortization expense, share-based compensation, impairment charges, legal settlements, and other one-time events in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the Company's financial performance because the Company's management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, and measuring its operating performance. Whenever the Company uses such non-GAAP measures, it will provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures set forth below and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Company will hold a conference call to discuss its financial results today, August 8, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
To access the conference call, dial toll-free (877) 407-0989 or (201) 389-0921 for international callers, five minutes before the conference.
The call can also be accessed on the Investors page on the Company's website at www.amphastar.com.
All statements in this press release and in the conference call referenced above that are not historical are forward-looking statements, including, among other things, statements relating to our expectations regarding future financial performance and business trends, backlog, sales and marketing of our products, market size and growth, product development, the timing of FDA filings or approvals, including the DMFs of ANP, the timing of product launches, acquisitions and other matters related to our pipeline of product candidates, the timing and results of clinical trials, our share buyback program, and other future events, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including its variants, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and resulting macroeconomic conditions, such as inflation and rising interest rates, and related responses of business and governments to the pandemic on our operations and personnel, and on commercial activity and demand across our business operations and results of operations. These statements are not facts but rather are based on Amphastar's historical performance and our current expectations, estimates, and projections regarding our business, operations, and other similar or related factors. Words such as "may," "might," "will," "could," "would," "should," "anticipate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "believe," "estimate," and other similar or related expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult or impossible to predict and, in some cases, beyond Amphastar's control. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those described in Amphastar's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 10, 2022. In particular, the extent of COVID-19's impact on our business will depend on several factors, including the severity, duration and extent of the pandemic including its variants, as well as actions taken by governments, businesses, and consumers in response to the pandemic, all of which continue to evolve and remain uncertain at this time. You can locate these reports through our website at http://ir.amphastar.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements in this release speak only as of the date of the release. Amphastar undertakes no obligation to revise or update information or any forward-looking statements in this press release or the conference call referenced above to reflect events or circumstances in the future, even if new information becomes available or if subsequent events cause our expectations to change.

As the outrageously, creatively, wild and whimsical May 5 Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade draws closer, students from multiple Key West schools are now busily engaged in crafting human-powered moving sculptures through a 'Kinetic Coaches in Schools' program initiated last year by Key West Art & Historical Society. The kinetic float building projects actively engage the students in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) initiatives, as well as offer a unique opportunity to explore social commentary through art, a means of expression for which parade namesake Stanely Papio was well known.
Organized by Society Director of Education Adele Williams, and supported by generous grants and scholarships from Historic Tours of America and Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina, local artists Suzanne Brown, Steve Linden, and Crystal Smith are working as Kinetic Coaches with student groups from Horace O'Bryant Middle School, May Sands Montessori Charter School, Sigsbee Charter School, Key West Preschool Co-Op, Key West Collegiate Academy, and Key West Homeschoolers. To initiate their projects, each group was invited to Fort East Martello, home of a collection of more than 100 original Stanley Papio metal sculptures, for "Stanley: The Man, The Legend," a presentation by Williams that offered a first-hand look at the physical and social commentary elements found in the works of pioneering folk artist. The Kinetic Coaches followed Williams' presentation with a "think tank" session to introduce students to the concept of "Outsider Art," to help them explore their own views on social commentary, and learn key kinetic principals that they can apply to their kinetic sculpture floats.
The program's Kinetic Coaches were selected based on their professional background and experience with children. Brown, a textile artist who studied metalsmithing and ceramics at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania, has spent the last three decades with mixed media and three-dimensional art-building as her passion, habitually spurred by the discovery of a found object. She has taught classes in everything from sewing to 3D art and design. Linden, who got his bearings with a B.F.A. at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, exhibited during the SoHo heyday and is currently represented in the Ripley Museums and M.O.M.A. He has worked with kids in the school system for more than thirty years.Key West Preschool Co-Op art teacher and The Society's Children's Creative Program Designer Crystal Smithhas specialized in mixed mediums, including photography, theatrical makeup, recycled material art, and body painting for more than 15 years, and loves sharing her passion for art and the magic of creation with children.
The coaches receive a $600 stipend for their efforts, supported by a donation from Historic Tours of America, and the student groups each receive $400 scholarships from Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina. The program provides students countless opportunities to tap into STEAM concepts as access points for guiding inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.
With the students' problem solving, collaboration and creativity, their kinetic sculptures are full "steam" ahead. Witness their genius at the May 5 Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade, which kicks off from the Custom House Museum at 5:00pm and then join the post parade festival and concert at Truman Waterfront Amphitheater and see the floats lined up there for all to admire.
Presented by Key West Art & Historical Society and co-produced by Wonderdog Studios, for Parade registration, entry guidelines, sponsorship information and a complete event schedule, visit www.papiokineticparade.com. The Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade is sponsored in part by the Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Council of the Arts and Culture, and the State of Florida. Additional "Papio's Pals" support provided by the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, Helmerich Trust, Historic Tours of America, Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina, Pirate Radio, The Peace Store, Jimmy Lane Real Estate Team, Premier Painting, All Keys Insulation, Camping Florida Keys, Sam Kaufman Law Firm, Papa's Pilar, Shipyard Brewing Co, Islamorada Brewing Co and South Beach Brewing Co, Tiki House Key West, and Blu on White Vacation Rentals. Your Museums. Your Community. It takes an Island.
Between two towering Stanley Papio metal sculptures, back row left to right, Key West Art & Historical Society Director of Education Adele Williams, Horace O'Bryant Middle School teacher Katie Holtcamp, Kinetic Coach Suzanne Brown, and HOB teacher Ashlie Hood led a group of students in exploring the life and works of the late rebel folk artist at Fort East Martello last week.
