Common mistakes in designing and implementing service guarantees

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore companies' experiences in designing and implementing service guarantees. Design/methodology/approach The methodology relied on 22 in‐depth personal interviews across a sample of ten Australian service firms. Findings The effectiveness of a service guarantee depends on how well a firm designs and implements it. It was found that service guarantees were generally not well conceived, implemented, or monitored after launch. Through a comparison of theory and practice, this study identifies a number of common mistakes, including inadequate or non‐existent pre‐launch market research; ambiguous definition of the role of the guarantee; inadequate market testing of alternative guarantee promises; a lack of consultation with key functional managers during development; a lack of CEO commitment; ambiguous assignment of responsibility for ongoing management of the guarantee; and an absence of performance evaluation. Research limitations/implications The study employs qualitative research techniques and considers only Australian firms. Practical implications While the common mistakes offer cautions for managers when planning a service guarantee, some outstanding examples of successfully implemented service guarantees also emerged. A notable example is the customer charter, a more comprehensive conditional guarantee that avoids many of the pitfalls associated with traditional service guarantees. Originality/value Previous studies do not address the experiences of a broad sample of companies that have designed and implemented a service guarantee. The findings in this paper extend the understanding of how service guarantees could become more effective and identify directions for future research.

[Effect of radiations with varying linear energy transfer on the skin of mice].

Experiments were carried out to measure the time and severity of the radiation reaction of the skin of mice exposed to X- and gamma-radiations, protons with energies of 645 and 50 MeV as well as accelerated helium ions at doses of 200 to 4000 rad. It was found that relative biological effectiveness coefficients of 645 and 50 MeV protons were 1.0 and those of helium ions were 1.3 for the skin reaction at early and late stages of observation. No significant difference in the time of manifestation of radiation-induced skin lesions as related to radiations with various LET was detected.

The Sciatic Nerve Cuffing Model of Neuropathic Pain in Mice

Neuropathic pain arises as a consequence of a lesion or a disease affecting the somatosensory system. This syndrome results from maladaptive changes in injured sensory neurons and along the entire nociceptive pathway within the central nervous system. It is usually chronic and challenging to treat. In order to study neuropathic pain and its treatments, different models have been developed in rodents. These models derive from known etiologies, thus reproducing peripheral nerve injuries, central injuries, and metabolic-, infectious- or chemotherapy-related neuropathies. Murine models of peripheral nerve injury often target the sciatic nerve which is easy to access and allows nociceptive tests on the hind paw. These models rely on a compression and/or a section. Here, the detailed surgery procedure for the "cuff model" of neuropathic pain in mice is described. In this model, a cuff of PE-20 polyethylene tubing of standardized length (2 mm) is unilaterally implanted around the main branch of the sciatic nerve. It induces a long-lasting mechanical allodynia, i.e., a nociceptive response to a normally non-nociceptive stimulus that can be evaluated by using von Frey filaments. Besides the detailed surgery and testing procedures, the interest of this model for the study of neuropathic pain mechanism, for the study of neuropathic pain sensory and anxiodepressive aspects, and for the study of neuropathic pain treatments are also discussed.

Linear and nonlinear analysis of mount angle effects on the dynamic stability of micropolar lubricated hydrodynamic lobed journal bearings

Journal bearings are one of the most widely used types of supporting devices for industrial machinery, especially for high-speed rotary systems. Considering the importance of mechanical systems ability to control vibrations and motion disturbances, the design of noncircular journal bearings has been one of the appropriate techniques used in recent years. In the present work, the effects of mount angle as a noncircularity unique feature on the dynamic stability of lobed journal bearings with micropolar lubricant are studied. For this purpose, modified Reynolds equation based on the linear and nonlinear methods is solved by generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. Then the static and dynamic characteristics of two-, three- and four-lobe bearings including load carrying capacity, whirl frequency ratio, critical mass parameter and rotor perturbation in terms of bifurcation diagram and Poincare map are presented for different values of mount angle. Nonlinear analysis results indicate that variation of mount angle can change the rotor response from limit cycle oscillations to convergent perturbation to static equilibrium point. Further, against plain circular journal bearings, choosing an appropriate orientation or mounting angle provides the optimal stability of noncircular lobed journal bearings. Also, the linear analysis results for the range of dynamic stability are more cautious than the nonlinear method in most of investigated cases.

Ribophorin I regulates substrate delivery to the oligosaccharyltransferase core

Protein N-glycosylation is widespread among biological systems, and the fundamental process of transferring a lipid-linked glycan to suitable asparagine residues of newly synthesized proteins occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The core reaction is mediated by Stt3p family members, and in many organisms this component alone is sufficient to constitute the so called oligosaccharyltransferase (OST). However, eukaryotes typically have a more elaborate OST with several additional subunits of poorly defined function. In the mammalian OST complex one such subunit, ribophorin I, is proposed to facilitate the N-glycosylation of certain precursors during their biogenesis at the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we use cell culture models to show that ribophorin I depletion results in substrate-specific defects in N-glycosylation, clearly establishing a defined physiological role for ribophorin I. To address the molecular mechanism of ribophorin I function, a cross-linking approach was used to explore the environment of nascent glycoproteins during the N-glycosylation reaction. We show for the first time that ribophorin I can regulate the delivery of precursor proteins to the OST complex by capturing substrates and presenting them to the catalytic core.

John Labatt Blows In and Out of the Windy City: A Case Study in Entrepreneurship and Business Failure, 1889–1896

The Labatt brewery of London, Ontario, just 200 kilometres from the Canada–United States border, was the first Canadian brewery to attempt a strategic expansion into the United States. The paper examines the reasons why John Labatt decided to expand into the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. It analyzes both the “push” and “pull” factors that caused him to attempt to sell his ales, porters, and stouts in Chicago. The paper argues that while entrepreneurial factors played a central role in Labatt’s geographic expansion into the United States, structural factors were more important as a factor in the ultimate inability of Labatt to capture a share of the Chicago market.

‘That’s My Stuff’: Pasifika Literature and Pasifika Identity

&lt;p&gt;Pasifika literature is an expanding, dynamic field which, like other Pasifika creative productions, is often seen as representative of exciting new directions, and reflective of a nascent generation of young Pasifika who are firmly established in New Zealand. This thesis considers the relationship between Pasifika literature and Pasifika identity, tracing some ways that Pasifika literature articulates, references, and mediates Pasifika identity through the creative work of two prominent New Zealand-born Pacific scholar-poets: Karlo Mila (Tongan, Palangi, Samoan) and Selina Tusitala Marsh (Samoan, Tuvaluan, French, English). Both these women are highly acclaimed, award winning poets and academics who are well respected in their respective Pacific communities. Reading their creative works firstly as examples of a mixed-race Pasifika literature and then as Pasifika feminist texts offers compelling insights into their worlds as young ‘brown’ women in New Zealand. Their work makes a significant contribution to Pacific literature and New Zealand literature, and offers many points of entry for exploring what it might mean to be a Pasifika person in Aotearoa today. This work is furthered in a final chapter, which gestures towards a new generation of Pasifika writers. By referencing some of the new writing being produced by young Pasifika, in particular the work of Grace Taylor and Courtney Sina Meredith, I illustrate how Mila and Marsh’s writing has opened up necessary creative spaces for Pasifika voices to be heard and their senses of identity to be affirmed. Ultimately, the connections between Pasifika literature and Pasifika identities that have been explored in this thesis continue to be strengthened and developed by a new generation of young Pasifika writers, who continue to affirm identities that are fluid, open, and progressive.&lt;/p&gt;

Optimizing the Form Function of Gun Propellants

Progressivity, i.e. gain in burning area, of multi-perforated propellant grains is graphically shown to have a maximum for certain dimension ratios. Form functions, amount of slivers, and optimum dimensions for some basic grain types are presented. The effect of finite manufacturing precision on form function, progressivity, and amount of slivers is estimated approximatively. This study of form functions is strictly geometric, no physical effects of combustion, like flame spread, combustion inside perforations, or erosive burn rate, are taken into account.

Species boundary and extensive hybridization and introgression in Petunia

ABSTRACT Studying the role of hybridization in the speciation of plants is one of the most thrilling areas of evolutionary biology. Hybridization in natural populations can act in opposition to divergence, contribute to adaptation through introgression or foster the emergence of new lineages via hybrid speciation. Species of the plant genus Petunia grow in open areas in southern South America. Some natural interspecific hybrid events have been described for the genus, such as between the endemic P. exserta and the widespread P. axillaris. Both species occur in sympatry in Serra do Sudeste (Brazil), where they occur in diverse habitats and exhibit floral divergence, which has been related to the attraction of different primary pollinators. The present study evaluates the maintenance of the species boundaries front of hybridization and introgression. Direct and indirect methods of estimating gene exchange employed genotyping 720 reproductive plants and 611 progenies of both species with eight microsatellite loci. Gene exchange was found to be frequent and bidirectional between the species, indicating that introgression changes their genetic constitution in areas of sympatry. Limits of the studied species are being maintained because of the high level of inbreeding and backcrosses that are habitat-dependent.

This book is well produced and less expensive than many similar reports of symposia. However, such meetings seem to be only partially successful and the papers published are of only limited value to the non-participant. At previous symposia, the relationship of time and dose appeared to be of fundamental importance and no complete solution was to be expected here.

An Ecolinguistic Study on Ecospiritual Tourism of Rebo Buntung Commoddification

The research examined the relationship between cultural ritual, linguistic, and ecology in the context of ecotourism. It aimed to encourage, stimulate, and integrate the use of religious tradition’s terms in understanding and reinterpreting the environment and human relations and its roles. Cultural forms and elements basically had the potential to be used as a tourism commodity, meaning that they could be commodified. The research also related to ecolinguistics, a study that discussed language associated with the environment in which the language grew and developed and how it was used by the community. Cultural rituals as a tourism commodity could be a means of maintaining culture and language even though they were commodified for tourism purposes. Thus, the religious-cultural structure of Rebo Buntung and Tetulaq Tamperan should be packaged following its original structure as a medium for cultural and language preservation but also packaged as attractively as possible with a contextual structure that adapted to tourism sites so that could attract tourists. This ecospiritual commodification was expected to be able to budge the economy of the surrounding community. The research was conducted at Ketapang Beach, Tanjung Menangis, Pringgabaya district, and East Lombok where Rebo Buntung ritual was carried out. The research applied a qualitative descriptive method. For this reason, the data obtained were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis by describing the data obtained from an informant. On that basis, it can be concluded that the practice of ecospriritual commodification can have multiple effects, not only to preserve culture and language but also to maintain community harmony with nature, as well as improve the economy of the local community.

Phylogenetic and pathogenic analysis of Indian isolates of Newcastle disease virus

In the present study, Indian Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates UP/3 and UP/4 collected from suspected field samples were characterized to be velogenic by pathogenic and phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic analysis based on the nucleotide sequences of the F gene indicated that UP/3 and UP/4 isolates belong to genotype VII and genotype IV, respectively. These isolates possessed the amino acid sequence 112 R/K-R-QK/R-R-F 117 in the F0 cleavage site, which is typical of velogenic NDV pathotype. All the NDV strains analyzed have shown to have non-synonymous to synonymous base substitution rate in the F gene ranging between 0.074-0.197, demonstrating the presence of purifying selection. HN gene of the isolates was found to have an open reading frame encoding 571 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequences of the HN glycoprotein revealed that the cysteine residues essential for intra-molecular disulphide bonds to stabilize the HN molecules, antigenic sites and key residues for receptor binding were all conserved in Indian isolates.

A Predicate μ-Calculus for Value-Passing Processes and A Complete Deductive System for FO(HML)

A predicate μ calculus is proposed for describing properties of value passing processes. It is a first order logic with fixpoints. Propositions and predicates are mutually recursively defined. Predicates are functions from values to propositions, which has three forms: predicate variables, abstractions, as well as greatest and least fixed points. Formulae are interpreted over transition systems induced by symbolic transition graphs with assignments. For the finite fragment of the logic, which is named FO(HML) and similar to the modal logic proposed by Hennessy and Liu, a Gentzen style deductive system is presented, and its completeness proved using tableau technique.

Spectrally negative Lévy processes with applications in risk theory

In this paper, results on spectrally negative Lévy processes are used to study the ruin probability under some risk processes. These processes include the compound Poisson process and the gamma process, both perturbed by diffusion. In addition, the first time the risk process hits a given level is also studied. In the case of classical risk process, the joint distribution of the ruin time and the first recovery time is obtained. Some results in this paper have appeared before (e.g., Dufresne and Gerber (1991), Gerber (1990), dos Reis (1993)). We revisit them from the Lévy process theory's point of view and in a unified and simple way.

Burning cars in parkings

Knuth's parking scheme is a model in computer science for hashing with linear probing. One may imagine a circular parking with $n$ sites; cars arrive at each site with unit rate. When a car arrives at a vacant site, it parks there; otherwise it turns clockwise and parks at the first vacant site which is found. We incorporate fires to this model by throwing Molotov cocktails on each site at a smaller rate $n^{-\alpha}$ where $0 2/3$, whereas for $\alpha<2/3$, the mean occupation approaches $1$ at time $1$ but then quickly drops to $0$ before the parking is ever saturated. Our study relies on asymptotics for the occupation of the parking without fires in certain regimes which may be of independent interest.

Rethinking the human-readability infrastructure

Character encodings and text editing widgets and applications together form the current human-readability infrastructure. We outline an alternative human-readability infrastructure that is simultaneously appropriate for textual formats and binary runtime data structures. Our approach consists of a binary metaformat and corresponding language-independent structure editor. Here we describe our prototype editor, its suitability to supersede text editors, and several case studies that explore its immediate and repeat benefit to various content domains.

A presentation of penile siliconoma in primary care after a dubious implant injection: a case report

Cases of penile siliconoma are unusual and less commonly present to medical practitioners. The siliconoma is a subsequence of injecting high viscous solution into the penis; commonly sillicone with the aim to enhance its size and performance. This case will look at a patient who developed penile siliconoma after a dubious penile implant injection gone wrong. It will also look at what surgical options are available to the unfortunate patients to ease their suffering. Physician should have a high index of suspicion on the use of such substances to enhance sexual performances in patients presenting with atypical penile swelling.
