The strategic dilemma for tier 1 suppliers who currently supply the assemblers directly is whether to expand into system integrators ( tier 0.5 ), or to become indirect suppliers to such organisations. Siegfried Wolf of Magna International described the tier 0.5 transition as follows (Lewis and Wright, 2004) ... 

Invertebrate species have been widely used in toxicity studies of pesticides [61]. Zooplankton play a key role in the food chain because they occupy a central position. Therefore, their responses to natural and anthropogenic stresses are intimately linked with other food predator organisms. The most widely accepted bioassays employ species such as Ceriodaphnia dubia, Daphnia magna, Artemia salina, or Thamnocephalus platyurus [62-64]. D. magna has been used for many years as a standard aquatic test species and formally endorsed by the major international organizations such as the EEC, OECD, and ASTM [65-67]. Its choice is mainly because it represents the zooplankton community and is a species of worldwide occurrence. In addition, it has a greater sensitivity to toxicants, particularly pesticides, compared with other aquatic species [61,68] (Table 1). 

NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker AC200 spectrometers unless indicated otherwise deuteriated chloroform was used as solvent and tetramethylsi-lane as internal reference. Chemical shifts (8) are given in ppm. The following abbreviations were used to define the multiplicities s, singlet d, doublet t, triplet q, quartet m, multiplet br, broad coupling constants (/) are measured in Hertz (Hz). IR spectra were recorded on a Nicolet Magna-550 FTIR... 

Infrared spectra were obtained with a Perkin-Elmer 1800 and a Nicolet Magna-IR 750 FTIR spectrophotometer, and the absorption frequencies are reported in wave numbers (cm4). NMR spectra were obtained with BZH-300 and CA-F-300 Bruker FTNMR 300 MHz spectrometers. Chloroform-d was used as solvent, and all chemical shifts are reported in parts per million downfield (positive) of the standard. H-NMR and 13C-NMR chemical shifts are reported relative to internal tetramethylsilane, while 19F-NMR chemical shifts are reported relative to internal fluorotrichloromethane, Rf values were obtained from silica gel thin-layer chromatography developed with a mixture of 1.5 mL methylene chloride and three drops of acetone. The number of hydrate water molecules was calculated from the integration of H-NMR spectra. 

IH and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bmcker AM-200 and 500MHz) chemical shifts are given in d values referred to internal tetramethlysilane (TMS), EIMS (MS Agilent 5973 70eV) and Infrared (IV) spectra were recorded on a Nicolet spectrophotometer with Fourier transform Model Magna-IR 760 wavelengths are expressed in reciprocal centimeter (cm ).
