Rules, Communication and Collusion: Narrative Evidence from the Sugar Institute Case
No full textDetailed notes on weekly meetings of the sugar refining cartel show how communication helps firms collude, and so highlight the deficiencies in the current formal theory of collusion. The Sugar Institute did not fix prices or output. Prices were increased by homogenizing business practices to make price cutting more transparent. Meetings were used to interpret and adapt the agreement, coordinate on jointly profitable actions, ensure unilateral actions were not misconstrued as cheating, and determine whether cheating had occurred. In contrast to established theories, cheating did occur, but sparked only limited retaliation, partly due to the contractual relations with selling agents.
Metabolism of l-lactate by LLL-PK<sub>1</sub> renal epithelia

Governing the tap : special district governance and the new local politics of water.
No full text[First paragraph] Ever wondered how the environmental convention secretariats operate? Or how and why the
Organisation on Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) created an environment
directorate? Many of these bureaucracies have not been studied in great detail precisely because
they fit within the broader debate over the power and effectiveness of environmental regimes.
This volume investigates four environmental convention secretariats (climate, ozone, desertification,
and biodiversity), the secretariats for the International Maritime Organisation (IMO),
the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the United Nations Environment Program, and the environmental
units of the World Bank and the OECD. Frank Biermann and Bernd Siebenhu«ner's
collection is the result of a four-year ``Managers of global change: effectiveness and learning of
international organisations'' research progra

Distribution, Morphometry, and Seasonal Biology of the Planktonic Copepods, Calanus tenuicornis and C. lighti, in the Pacific Ocean
No full textThe ecology of sympatric, congeneric species
has been extensively studied on the supposition
that such species require rather similar resources
and are therefore potential competitors when
they co-occur. The pelagic environment is of
great areal extent, low faunal diversity, and
high physical homogeneity in comparison with
terrestrial environments, and hence the nature
of the niches of closely related, oceanic species
of zooplankton is of some interest (Mullin,
1967). The present investigation concerns the
geographical and vertical distribution of two
such species, the question of character displacement
in size of body and mouthparts, and the
extent to which the two species have different
breeding seasons

Dasymys robertsii Mullin, P. J. Taylor & Pillay, 2004, Klipfontein, Wa-terberg Mts, 1091 m, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Dasymys robertsii is distinguished from D. incomtus (sensu stricto) by allozyme, chromosomal and craniometric characters. Monotypic. Distribution. NE Zimbabwe, extreme E Botswana, and NE South Africa. Descriptive notes. Head-body 149 mm, tail 128 mm, ear 20 mm, hindfoot 32 mm; weight 90 g. Like all Dasymys, Roberts’s Shaggy Rat has soft, shaggy, long-haired fur that is reddish brown in color dorsally and dull gray ventrally. Head is broad, with short muzzle, vibrissae long, and ears rounded and well furred on inside. Tail is of medium length (86% of head-body length), heavily scaled, sparsely haired, and darker above than below. Habitat. Swampy areas in wetlands. Food and Feeding. Roberts’s Shaggy Rat is primarily herbivorous, feeding mostly on aquatic and terrestrial plants, but to a lesser extent also on insects. Breeding. Breeding season ofRoberts’s Shaggy Rat in Zimbabwe is in warm wet months of August—-March. Activity patterns. Roberts’s Shaggy Rats are predominantly crepuscular and diurnal. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Not assessed on The IUCN Red List. Classified as vulnerable regionally (South Africa). Bibliography.
