From Craft to Industry: The Boat Builders of Holland (Small Enterprises Mid-Century)
No full textSmall Enterprises
Mid-Century
The Holland area has benefited from the creation of many small boat-building enterprises, starting in the 1940s through today. One such firm began building and selling cabin cruisers made of steel sheets welded together and became so successful that the huge Chris-Craft Corporation purchased the company in 1955 to fill out its line of cruisers. Others, based in the furniture industry, began making wooden boats crafted from inexpensi and sturdy sheet and molded plywood hulls purchased from nearby Grand Rapids. This type of construction, made from a combination of glue, 5-6 thin wood veneers, and heat pressed into sheets or pre-molded shapes, allowed small enterprises with a few craftsmen to become moderately successful in a rapidly growing and competitive industry. In the late 1950s, a new boat building medium splashed onto the scene: fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). This new medium, first invented in the 1930s and used successfully by the U.S. military during World War II, completely changed boatbuilding for enterprises, large and small.

Location
Even before the founding of Holland in the 1840s, the city\u27s location on Black Lake (now Lake Macatawa) was very important to its early success as a boatbuilding town. With the first ship built in 1836, to the newest model off the assembly line, the proximity to water has given our boat builders the opportunity to test their designs for seaworthiness, performance, and comfort. In the 1950s, the advent of smaller boats, road worthy trailers, and public access to the water allowed boat builders to move their plants farther away from the water into smaller industrial spaces and family garages. From these humble workshops grew giants of the industry that have since returned to the waterfront, this time to construct sales venues and private homes for their families.

Comparative Genomics And Functional Analysis Of Rhamnose Catabolic Pathways And Regulons In Bacteria
Get PDFL-rhamnose (Rha) is a deoxy-hexose sugar commonly found in nature. L-Rha catabolic pathways were previously characterized in various bacteria including Escherichia coli. Nevertheless, homology searches failed to recognize all the genes for the complete L Rha utilization pathways in diverse microbial species involved in biomass decomposition. Moreover, the regulatory mechanisms of L-Rha catabolism have remained unclear in most species. A comparative genomics approach was used to reconstruct the L-Rha catabolic pathways and transcriptional regulons in the phyla Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Thermotogae. The reconstructed pathways include multiple novel enzymes and transporters involved in the utilization of L-Rha and L-Rha-containing polymers. Large-scale regulon inference using bioinformatics revealed remarkable variations in transcriptional regulators for L-Rha utilization genes among bacteria. A novel bifunctional enzyme, L-rhamnulose-phosphate aldolase (RhaE) fused to L-lactaldehyde dehydrogenase (RhaW), which is not homologous to previously characterized L-Rha catabolic enzymes, was identified in diverse bacteria including Chloroflexi, Bacilli, and Alphaproteobacteria. By using in vitro biochemical assays we validated both enzymatic activities of the purified recombinant RhaEW proteins from Chloroflexus aurantiacus and Bacillus subtilis. Another novel enzyme of the L-Rha catabolism, L-lactaldehyde reductase (RhaZ), was identified in Gammaproteobacteria and experimentally validated by in vitro enzymatic assays using the recombinant protein from Salmonella typhimurium. C. aurantiacus induced transcription of the predicted L-Rha utilization genes when L-Rha was present in the growth medium and consumed L-Rha from the medium. This study provided comprehensive insights to L-Rha catabolism and its regulation in diverse Bacteria
Search For C-21 And Constraints On C-22
No full textA search for the neutron-unbound nucleus 21C was performed via the single-proton removal reaction from a beam of 22N at 68 MeV/u. Neutrons were detected with the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) in coincidence with 20C fragments. No evidence for a low-lying state was found, and the reconstructed decay-energy spectrum could be described with an s-wave line shape with a scattering length limit of |as|22C is bound by less than 70 keV
Is being spiritual enough without being religious? A study of violent and property crimes among emerging adults
Get PDFWhile prior research tends to confirm a negative association between religiousness and crime, criminologists have been slow to incorporate new concepts and emergent issues from the scientific study of religion into their own research. The self-identity phrase “spiritual but not religious” is one of them, which has been increasingly used by individuals who claim to be “spiritual” but disassociate themselves from organized religion. This study first examines differences in crime between “spiritual but not religious” individuals and their “religious and spiritual,” “religious but not spiritual,” and “neither religious nor spiritual” peers in emerging adulthood. Specifically, we hypothesize that the spiritual-but-not-religious young adults are more prone to crime than their “religious” counterparts, while expecting them to be different from the “neither” group without specifying whether they are more or less crime-prone. Second, the expected group differences in crime are hypothesized to be explained by the micro-criminological theories of self-control, social bonding, and general strain. A latent-variable structural equation model was estimated separately for violent and property crimes, using the third wave of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Overall results tend to provide a partial support for the hypotheses. Implications for criminology and future research are discussed
The Anchor, Volume 127.09: November 06, 2013
Get PDFThe Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor\u27s history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular
