    A. Gordon to Walter McKenzie Clark, July 19, 1901

    In a letter of July 19, 1901 to Walter McKenzie Clark, Associate Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, A. Gordon is writing on behalf of W. W. Stringfield. He is informing Clark of a few historical errors, most notably that it was not Major Graham who was the last man in N. C. to leave the Confederacy. Gordon explains that a month after Appomattox, on May 9, 1864, a battalion under Lieutenant Colonel James R. Love of the 69th North Carolina Troops had a skirmish with some federal troops in Haywood County N.C. On May 10, the military district of Western North Carolina surrendered.delet

    Planning Product Support for Medical Products

    No full text
    Product support is a key aspect in the marketing of high-technology products, since it strongly influences customer satisfaction and can also be an important source of revenue. Typical forms of support include operator training, equipment maintenance and, if necessary, repair - all of these are normally provided by manufacturers' support organizations. Good support is particularly important in some markets; an example is medical equipment where good operator training and quick repairs are essential because products are used in critical situations. Despite its importance, support has not been extensively researched. This study describes a management investigation of two aspects. Several authors have identified that product support is dependent on product design. Consequently, the same authors emphasize that support should be thoroughly evaluated during product design. This study identifies the range of factors that may be evaluated and shows that most of the companies surveyed do not fully evaluate support during the design stage. These results are not covered by previously published material and have implications for management. As support influences customer satisfaction, it is important to know how customers perceive support. The study investigated the customer attributes of good support, using interviews with medical equipment customers. The results show that a common set of attributes are associated with support, some relating to the product itself and some to the support organization. The characteristics of products which are easier to support were also identified from the interviews. The contribution of the research is that it made an exploratory investigation of the concept product support. It not only gave the first survey data on how companies plan support but also investigated customers' perceptions of product support. Consequently the study provides a foundation from which there is real scope for further management research, into what is becoming recognized as a vital element of high-technology marketing

    "The German Influence on the Origin of U.S. Federal Financial Rescues"

    No full text
    While federal financial rescues have become a common response to crises, federal provision of finance was not one of the original powers of the federal government. One man, Eugene Meyer, is largely responsible for the origin of federal financial rescues, through both the War Finance Corporation and Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Meyer learned laissez faire economics from William Graham Sumner at Yale. However, German economist Adolph Wagner’s state-socialism philosophy heavily influenced Meyer’s thinking, and Meyer developed an interventionist philosophy. Serving in key government positions, Meyer put his beliefs into practice. These channels of influence and the resulting policies are examined.Financial rescues; War Finance Corporation; Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

    The Blastocystis mitochondrion-like organelles

    No full text
    The organelles in Blastocystis that resemble mitochondria are an enigma as the organism is a strict anaerobe. Recent sequence analyses of the organelle genome and over 12,000 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) has given us many insights into the role these organelles play in the metabolism of the cell. The genome encodes several subunits of NADH dehydrogenase (complex I) but lacks all trace of genes for cytochrome and ATPase subunits (Complexes III-V). ESTs confirm the presence of complexes I and II, and indicate that this partial electron transport chain may lead to an alternative oxidase. The ESTs also suggest that many other metabolic pathways characteristic of mitochondria are still present in the Blastocystis organelles. However, other findings show that the organelle also has characteristics in common with hydrogenosomes, as a gene encoding [FeFe] hydrogenase is present and the protein has been localised to the organelles. The nuclear genome should clarify many of the remaining questions surrounding these unusual organelles

    Regulation of dietary fatty acid entrapment in subcutaneous adipose tissue and skeletal muscle

    No full text
    Using stable isotopic labeling of dietary fatty acids in conjunction with arteriovenous difference measurements, we have assessed the regulation of lipoprotein lipase-derived fatty acid entrapment in subcutaneous adipose tissue and forearm muscle in healthy subjects in the postprandial state. Eight volunteers fasted overnight and were then given a mixed meal containing [ 1-13C]palmitic acid and [1-13C]oleic acid. At baseline and for 6 h after the meal, blood samples were obtained from an arterialized hand vein and veins draining subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue and forearm muscle, and arteriovenous differences were calculated. Entrapment of labeled fatty acids released by circulating triacylglycerol hydrolysis was close to 100% at 60 min, decreasing to 10–30% by 360 min. Entrapment of labeled fatty acids in forearm muscle was >100% and did not change with time. This study shows that entrapment of dietary fatty acids in adipose tissue in the postprandial period is a highly regulated process (varying with time) and that this can be studied in humans using stable isotope- labeled fatty acids in combination with measurement of appropriate arteriovenous differences. Also, fatty acid trapping in skeletal muscle is fundamentally different from that in adipose tissue, in that all the fatty acids released by lipoprotein lipase in skeletal muscle are taken up by the tissue
