From April 1997 through April 1998, 128 raccoons (Procyon lotor (Linnaeus)) collected from 7 sites representing 4 physiographic areas in South Carolina were examined for gastrointestinal helminth parasites. Four species of nematodes (Gnathostoma procyonis (Chandler), Physaloptera rara Hall and Wigdor, Arthrocephahis lotoris (Schwartz), and Molineus barhatus Chandler) and 2 species of acanthocep...

Organizational capability has been regarded as one of the principle sources of sustainable competitive advantage and the foundation for strategy formulation. Meanwhile, many anecdotal evidences have indicated that information technology (IT) is playing a very important role in building an organization’s capabilities. Although there has been a myriad of research on how IT could help in today’s f...

In recent years our studies of experimental syphilis have centred in the use of the chimpanzee as an animal model for the disease. Chimpanzees have been infected with Treponema pallidum, T. carateum, and T. cuniculi. The characteristics of these infections have been described in part or in whole elsewhere (Brown, Kuhn, Tolliver, and Norins, 1970; Chandler, Kaufmann, and Kuhn, 1972; Kuhn 1970, 1...

The Lum-Chandler-Weeks theory of hydrophobicity [Lum, K., Chandler, D. & Weeks, J. D. (1999) J. Phys. Chem. 103, 4570-4577] is applied to treat the temperature dependence of hydrophobic solvation in water. The application illustrates how the temperature dependence for hydrophobic surfaces extending less than 1 nm differs significantly from that for surfaces extending more than 1 nm. The latter ...

Endogenous pyrogen (EP) 1 was first described by Beeson (1) in saline extracts of rabbit peritoneal exudate cells. These cells were >95% neutrophils, and it was assumed that neutrophils were the source of the pyrogen (1). A series of studies over the last 30 yr has established that EP is the common mediator of almost all febrile states that are not attributable to disorders of the thermoregulat...

The growth of large firms that integrated production and distribution in the late nineteenth-century U.S. has been chronicled often, most recently by Alfred Chandler. The historical literature, with its emphasis on the integration of production and distribution, has not been amenable to formal economic analysis using the traditional tools of industrial organization.. This paper draws on the lit...

Consider two opposing expectations about the connection of the scope of the firm to the evolution of an industry. According to George Stigler, as an industry's market grows a scale is achieved at which specialized firms can emerge; economic growth thus results in vertical disintegration, ew industries, and growing decentralization fthe economy. According to Alfred Chandler, the growth of the fi...
