Th is paper reports research on service branding carried out on the prestigious Norwegian Coastal Voyage, or Hurtigruten, which is its brand name. Th e primary research instrument employed in the research was semi-structured in-depth interviews with managers and service personnel previously and presently employed by the shipping line Hurtigruten ASA. Th e paper shows that a set of factors infl ...

fishing per somewhat longer voyage and more fish per day at sea and per ton of fuel. These two British pioneer experiments have indicated two possible ways of improving the exploitation of wide-ranging fisheries. 'Those who rely on supplies brought in by distant-water trawlers may before very long be freezing sizeable quantities at sea' (European Productivity Agency of the Organisation for Euro...

Protein concentrates and by-products produced from ground wheat were analyzed for amino acid composition, protein, starch, fat, fiber, ash, and various neutral carbohydrates. The concentrates contained from 83 to 92% protein (nitrogen X 5.7), 2.1 to 2.6 g of lysine, 2.5 to 3.5 g of total sulfur amino acids per 16 g of nitrogen, 1.5 to 7.4% fat, 0.9% ash, and from 1.8 to 3.9% total carbohydrate....

Aim: Our goal was to ascertain if there was a role for larger breast implants in breast reconstruction. Methods: Patients that underwent mastectomy and implant-based breast reconstruction were identified and reviewed. Results: Of the total specimens, 92 (14.7%) weighed more than 800 g with a mean weight of 1140 g (range 803 to 2177 g). Of the patients with these larger specimens, 45 (48.9%) sel...

Let H and G be graph classes. We say that H has the Erd”os–Pósa property for G if for any graph G∈G, the minimum vertex covering of all H-subgraphs of G is bounded by a function f of the maximum packing of H-subgraphs in G (by H-subgraph of G we mean any subgraph of G that belongs to H). Robertson and Seymour [J Combin Theory Ser B 41 (1986), 92–114] proved that if H is the class of all graphs ...

Toxocariasis is a frequent helminthiasis that can cause visceral and ocular damage in humans specially in children. The identification of specific antigens of Toxocara canis is important in order to develop better diagnostic techniques. Ten rabbits were infected orally with a dose of 5000 Toxocara canis embryonated eggs. Rabbits were bled periodically and an ELISA assay was performed to determi...

Staphylococcus aureus organisms, grown in basal medium of water activity (a,) 0.993 and in basal medium adjusted to several different a, values by addition of NaCl, were analysed for the following components: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, total amino acids, inorganic phosphate, chloride, water, DNA, RNA, protein. Cell water decreased from 1-66 to 0.83 g./g. dry weight when a, was decre...
