Five Porters

The British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association carried out two series of tests, the results of which have been given by Gilbert and Gilbert and Porter these are summarised in Table 4.12. In the first series tough pitch copper tubes were exposed at seven sites for periods of up to 10 years. The two most corrosive soils were a wet acid peat (pH 4-2) and a moist acid clay (pH 4-6). In these two soils there was no evidence that the rate of corrosion was decreasing with duration of exposure. In the second series phosphorus-deoxidised copper tube and sheet was exposed at five sites for five years. Severe corrosion occurred only in cinders (pH 7 1). In these tests sulphides were found in the corrosion products on some specimens and the presence of sulphate-reducing bacteria at some sites was proved. It is not clear, however, to what extent the activity of these bacteria is a factor accelerating corrosion of copper. 

Subsequently, Porter (1981) expanded the survey by looking at specimens collected over a much larger part of the range of the species 23 sites in Europe, five in North America, and six in Asia. The majority of compounds identihed were again revealed as derivatives of apigenin, luteoUn, and chrysoeriol, with the major... 

An overview is provided of the North American PE Foam Market. Historical market growth rate and market dynamics are presented as well as a forecast to 2007. An analysis is also presented of the forces that impact PE foam demand and pricing based upon Michael Porter s well-known five-market forces model for analysing industries and markets. Application of this model will provide some insight into dynamics that should be considered in creating a robust business plan. 3 refs. 

In a typical experiment, a Fischer Porter 2.5 x 25 cm column containing 55 g of silica gel (70-230 mesh) which had been treated with 2.75 mL of water, was equilibrated with the eluting solvent, hexanes/ethyl acetate (2/1). Five hundred milligrams of the methanolic fraction was adsorbed on 5 g of silica gel and carefully poured on the preequilibrated column. The eluting solvent was then forced (using nitrogen pressure) through the column at the flow rate of 25-35 mL/min and 100 mL fractions were collected. 

At a systems level. Porter discusses the five forces drat make an industry or business opportunity more or less sustainable (Porter, 1980). 

Consider the industry of the publicly traded company you selected in the previous exploration exercise. Analyze whether the industry is favorable with respect to sustainability using Porter s five forces, and present your findings in a short essay. 

Read the Wall Street Journal for one week, collecting one article each day that discusses technical opportunities that various companies are considering or exploiting. Try to choose articles from the same or a related industry. In each of the articles identify key points of competitive advantage for the particular opportunity and in a short essay discuss whether those advantages are likely to be sustainable using Porter s five forces analysis.

I am now able to return you your most valuable MS. The first part seemed very prosy tiresome, wh[ich], added to the bad writing, made it seem very troublesome. I never saw writing with so much inward cussedness in it. Metaphorically speaking, it needed a heavy porter to lift the veil of obscurity wh[ich] the profoundly perverse formation of the letters cast over it. As I went on I became more familiar with his perverse characters and got on more quickly. I made out all but about five words,, on a separate paper I have put down those five with the p. in your MS c. If, at any time, you should have leisure enough, I shall be much obliged, if you have made them out, to put down on the same piece of paper, opposite the red line, what you interpret them to be return it to me. If you are too busy, then we will be... 

There were two women who contributed to the work of Miers group Florence Isaac and Mary (Polly) Winearls Porter.4 Isaac was Miers main collaborator on the study of the growth of crystals, co-authoring five publications. However, it was Porter who provided the link to the first generation of women X-ray crys-tallographers. 

Antibodies represent a class of flexible molecular adaptors that play a vital role in the adaptive immune systems of vertebrates [1]. First discovered by von Behring and Kitasato in 1890 [2], it was not before 1960 that their basic structure was determined by Porter and Edehnaim [3]. With their inherent diversity and heterogeneity, antibodies mediate humoral and cellular immune responses, and directly execute biochemical mechanisms such as antigen recognition, complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) [4]. In most higher mammals, antibodies exist in five distinct classes (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE) that... 

Radical macroeylization. Although radical cycUzation is usually used only (or construction of five- and six-membered rings. Porter et c/. Hnd that this method, although not useful for cyclizalion to medium-sized ketones, can give macrocyctic ketones in yields as high as 75-80% in favorable cases (absence of stcric effects). Bu>SnH is superior 10 (C, )t nH or Bu>CeM fonnalion of acyclic products decreases as the concentration of reactants decreases.
