    Heuristics vs. Biases in S&OP: an Insight into the Decision Making Process of Emotionally Involved Planners

    No full text
    In S&OP, planners have to decide how much to produce on the basis of expected future sales. Such forecasts are often made through a process of judgmental adjustment on the “anchor” provided by a statistical algorithm. However, these adjustments are often inefficient. This paper aims at testing through an experiment whether the involvement of the forecasters with the product category and their emotional reaction to particular products can drive their accuracy. It was found that forecasters who liked particular products tended to suffer from significant optimism bias. However, the bias was reduced when forecasters also had high involvement with the product category

    Clathria (Microciona) matthewsi sp. nov. (Figure 8) Type material: Holotype: BELUM Mc 7606. Sample in 95% ethanol, tissue section and spicule preparation on slides; Rosita Harbour Site 2, South Georgia (54°00.649’S, 37° 25.618’W); depth 11.5m; collected by C. Goodwin, J. Brown, and S. Brown, 20 th November 2010. Paratypes: Samples in 95% ethanol, tissue section and spicule preparation on slides. BELUM Mc 7625. Right Whale Bay, South Georgia (54°00.173’S, 37° 40.856’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, J. Brown and S. Brown, 21 st November 2010. BELUM Mc 7631 and BELUM Mc 7632. Bird Sound Site 1, South Georgia (54°02.058’S, 38° 00.242’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, S. Cartwright and P. Brickle, 22 nd November 2010. BELUM Mc 7667. Husvik, South Georgia (54°10.285’S, 36° 40.412’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, D. Poncet and P. Brewin, 26 th November 2010. BELUM Mc 7678. Green Island, Stromness, Site 1, South Georgia (54°09.448’S, 36° 39.752’W); depth 17.4m; collected by C. Goodwin, P. Brickle and S. Cartwright, 27 th November 2010. Etymology: Named for marine mammal biologist Dr Leonard Harrison Matthews who worked on South Georgia during the Discovery Antarctic Investigations. External morphology: In situ appearance: Lemon to custard yellow thinly encrusting (<3mm thick) sponge forming small patches, up to 15cm maximum diameter, on bedrock. The surface of the sponge is smooth without obvious exhalent canals or oscules (Fig. 8a). Preserved appearance: Thin cream crust with a smooth surface. Skeleton: The choanosome is plumose with ascending choanosomal columns of primary acanthostyles very strongly echinated by secondary acanthostyles. Columns placed closely so that the ends of the echinating acanthostyles intermesh. The ectosomal skeleton consists of brushes of a separate category of ectosomal styles (Fig. 8b). Spicules: Measurements from Mc7606. Primary acanthostyles: 244(354)432 by 15.8(18.3)24.5µm. Head not tylote. Spined only basally, to about 1/8 up shaft from the head, with small spines (Fig. 8c). Secondary acanthostyles: 85(108)196 by 9.3(13.8)20.8µm. Entirely spined with large conical spines along their entire length, head not tylote (Fig. 8d). Ectosomal styles: 168(217)254 by 7.6(9.2)11.5µm. Microspined on head (Fig. 8e). Toxa: 59(86)121µm with spined ends (Fig. 8f). Chelae: 9(10)11µm very abundant (Fig. 8g). Remarks: We have assigned these specimens to the subgenus Clathria (Microciona) on the basis of their encrusting growth form and plumose skeletal architecture (Hooper 2002). There are four species of Clathria (Microciona) which have been recorded from the Antarctic and South Atlantic: C.antarctica (Topsent, 1917), C. basispinosa (Burton, 1934), C. tuberculata (Burton, 1934), and C. sigmoidea (Cuartas, 1992). However, none of these possess chelae and therefore can be readily distinguished from our specimens.Published as part of Goodwin, Claire & Brickle, Paul, 2012, Sponge biodiversity of South Georgia island with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 3542 on pages 15-1

Rosita Harbour Site 2, South Georgia (54°00.649’S, 37° 25.618’W); depth 11.5m; collected by C. Goodwin, J. Brown, and S. Brown, 20 th November 2010. BELUM Mc 7623. Right Whale Bay, South Georgia (54°00.173’S, 37° 40.856’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, J. Brown and S. Brown, 21 st November 2010. BELUM Mc 7633. Bird Sound Site 1, South Georgia (54°02.058’S, 38° 00.242’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, S. Cartwright and P. Brickle, 22 nd November 2010. Etymology: Named for the former Head of the Department of Natural Sciences National Museums Northern Ireland, Dr Peter Crowther, who retired this year after many years of service to the museum; in recognition of his support of this work when in post. External morphology: In situ appearance: Thickly encrusting white sponge (up to 15mm thick) forming large patches (up to 20cm in diameter) on bedrock. Smooth surface bearing numerous large oscules (up to 1cm in diameter) (Fig. 19a). Preserved appearance: Thick crust with very hard texture. Choanosome brick red in Mc7612 but white in some specimens and patchily red in others. The ectosome is a white, easily detachable, smooth layer. Skeleton: Confused choanosomal skeleton with primary columns of 4–7 spicules joined by unispicular secondary lines. Some rounded meshes present (Fig. 19b). Detachable white ectosome formed of hexagonal meshes of oxea, each side composed of single bundle of oxea 2–3 spicules thick (Fig. 19c). Spicules: Measurements from Mc7579. Oxea: 266(299)321 by 11(17)20µm—occasional very thin (<1µm oxea) of a similar length are also present (Fig. 19d). Remarks: This species is assigned to Haliclona as it is a Chalindae with unispicular secondary lines (de Weerdt 2002). The presence of a specialised ectosomal skeleton with rounded meshes assigns it to the subgenus Haliclona (Soestella) (de Weerdt 2002). Two other species of Haliclona (Soestella) have been recorded from this region: H. auletta (Thiele, 1905) from Calbuco, Chile and H. chilensis (Thiele, 1905). However, these both possess much smaller oxeas (150 and 130–200µm respectively). The taxonomy of this genus is still confused so species from other sub-genera were considered. Although descriptions of other species from different genera in the family occurring in the region have been examined none can be found in which such a distinctive ectosomal skeleton is described.Published as part of Goodwin, Claire & Brickle, Paul, 2012, Sponge biodiversity of South Georgia island with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 3542 on pages 33-3

    New Research Questions Statin ‘Benefit’ In People At Low Risk Of Heart Disease - 25 January 2011

    No full text
    NEW DELHI - Although clinical studies have suggested that the cholesterol lowering drugs known as statins could benefit people who are not already ill with cardiovascular disease, this assumption may have been premature - according to the author of a new Cochrane systematic review of the effects of statins. Shah Ebrahim explains to Peter Goodwin how many of the drugs-industry sponsored trials showing statin benefits have shortcomings, and that the cautious advice is to reserve statin therapy for patients who already have heart disease and those at risk of having a heart attack since the side effects of very widespread use of these drugs among healthy low-risk people are not yet fully known

    Mycale (Mycale) brownorum sp. nov. (Figure 17) Type material: Holotype: Sample in 95% ethanol, tissue section and spicule preparation on slides. BELUM Mc 7588. Prion Island Site 2, South Georgia (54°001.862’S, 37° 15.032’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, D. Poncet, and P. Brewin, 19 th November 2010. Paratypes: Samples in 95% ethanol, tissue section and spicule preparation on slides. BELUM Mc 7586. Prion Island Site 2, South Georgia (54°001.862’S, 37° 15.032’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, D. Poncet, and P. Brewin, 19 th November 2010. BELUM Mc 7593. Prion Island Site 2, South Georgia (54°001.862’S, 37° 15.032’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, D. Poncet, and P. Brewin, 19 th November 2010. BELUM Mc 7621. Right Whale Bay, South Georgia (54°00.173’S, 37° 40.856’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, J. Brown and S. Brown, 21 st November 2010. Etymology: Named after Dr Judith Brown, Diving Officer for the expedition and her husband, Steve Brown, member of the expedition dive team. External morphology: In situ appearance: Yellow crust, up to 10mm thick. On the surface of the sponge the ectosomal spicule mesh is visible, giving a honeycomb appearance. Three specimens were growing over algae attached to bedrock. One specimen (Mc7621) is a thicker crust in which the surface has developed into a series of small lumps (Fig. 17a). Preserved appearance: Fragile white specimen which breaks easily into strands formed by the columns of the choanosomal skeleton. The ectosomal layer is more solid and glassily smooth. Skeleton: The choanosomal skeleton is formed of thick (up to 15 spicules wide) ascending columns of mycalostyles which divide towards the ectosome in a dendritic pattern. The ectosome is a tangential confused layer of mycalostyles. Chelae present throughout skeleton, the larger category are in rosettes (Fig. 17b). Spicules: Measurements from Mc7588. Mycalostyles: 448(601)537 by 11.4(15.6)20.3µm base with an oval tylote, other end coming to a rounded point (Fig. 17c). Anisochelae: two categories 30.5(44.4)52.6 and 67.2(81.7)88.0µm (Fig. 17d, e). Remarks: This species can be distinguished from most species the subgenus Mycale (Mycale) by its smaller mycalostyle size or the categories of microscleres, which are present (Table 9). It has a similar size range of mycalostyles to M. doellojuradoi Burton, 1940 but this has three categories of chelae, the smallest being 18µm. Descriptions of other species in the genus were examined in case of taxonomic confusions; these could be distinguished by differences in the size of mycalostyles or the categories of microscleres present.Published as part of Goodwin, Claire & Brickle, Paul, 2012, Sponge biodiversity of South Georgia island with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 3542 on pages 31-3

Husvik, South Georgia (54°10.150’S, 36° 39.322’W); depth 18m; collected by D. Poncet, P. Brewin, C. Goodwin 26 th November 2010. Comparative material examined: MNHN DT1667 Tedania (Tedaniopsis) charcoti Topsent, 1908 Holotype. Ile Booth-Wandel ‘ Le Francais’. Microscope preparations. ZMB S2315 Tedania vanhöffeni var. gracilis Hentschel, 1914 (Holotype T. gracilis (Hetschel, 1914)), specimen and spicule preparation and tissue section prepared from specimen. BMNH 79.12.27.12 Tedania tenuicapitata Ridley, 1881, Holotype. Tissue section and spicule preparation slides. Etymology: From the Latin aurantiacus, meaning orange-coloured. External morphology: In situ appearance: Mustard yellow to cadmium orange lobed crust with large oscules. In thicker, larger, specimens the oscules may be raised on mammiform processes (Fig. 15a). Preserved appearance: Cream sponge composed of rounded lobes, firm, not compressible. Ectosome very smooth. Skeleton: The choanosomal skeleton is a loose reticulation of bundles of 2–3 styles. The ectosomal skeleton consists of bundles of tornotes, which fan out to form a tangential surface layer. Onychaetes are scattered abundantly throughout the choanosome and ectosome (Fig. 15b). Spicules: Measurements from Mc7661. Styles: 356(407)447 by 17(21)25µm. Often slightly curved, parallel sided then tapering at the end to a sharp point (Fig. 15c). Ectosomal tornotes: 335(359)403 by 10(13)16µm. Fusiform anisotornotes (Fig. 15d). Onychaetes: two categories 74(90)125 and 235(261)283 by 1.7(2.1)2.8µm a few intermediates (172,206µm). The largest are pointed at both ends, the smaller with one pointed and one rounded end (Figs 15 e, f, g). Remarks: Desqueyroux-Faúndez and van Soest (1996) reassessed the genera Tedania and Trachytedania, and reclassified the species present into three sub-genera: Tedania (Tedaniopsis) with long styles 300–700 µm, Tedania (Tedania) with short styles 150–300 µm and mucronate tornotes, and Tedania (Trachytedania) with smooth or spined short styles 150–300 µm and oxeote or mucronate tornotes (see also van Soest 2002b). The redescription of Tedania (Trachytedania) was based on the fact that no basal acanthostyles, the characterizing feature of the genus, could be found in the type species. Trachytedania has since been re-established as a valid genus by Cristobo and Urgorri (2001) who re-examined the type and located basal acanthostyles. This species confirms to the current definition of Tedania (Tedaniopsis) as it possesses styles longer than 350µm (Desqueyroux-Faúndez and van Soest 1996). There are many Southern Ocean species within this subgenus but the majority have spicules that are much larger (Table 8). Three species have spicules of a similar range: T. gracilis (Hentschel, 1914) is the most similar in spicule size but has larger styles and shorter tornotes (Table 8). Comparison with the specimen designated as the holotype showed this has much thinner, longer styles (552(591)653 by 12(15)16µm) and thinner ectosomal spicules (397(437)490 by 6(9)13µm), however, this specimen may not be the one described in type description as it appears to differ in spiculation and is a thinly encrusting species on a bryozoan rather a sea urchin. T. charcoti Topsent, 1908 has much thinner styles (420–450 by 13µm in description, 401(434)466 by 9(13)16 µm from our measurements of type) and smaller tornotes (305–340 by10µm from description, 280–350 by 8(10)14µm from our measurements). Tedania tenuicapitata Ridley, 1881 has much smaller styles (296–387µm), tornotes (185–270µm), and onychaetes (132–327, 52–75µm) (Table 8).Published as part of Goodwin, Claire & Brickle, Paul, 2012, Sponge biodiversity of South Georgia island with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 3542 on pages 28-2

    Tedania (Tedaniopsis) wellsae sp. nov. (Figure 16) Type material: Holotype: BELUM Mc 7578. Sample in 95% ethanol, tissue section and spicule preparation on slides. Prion Island Site 1, South Georgia (54°001.590’S, 37°15.178’W); depth 17.6m; collected by C. Goodwin, D. Poncet, and P. Brewin, 19 th November 2010.

Goodwin, S. Cartwright and P. Brickle, 22 nd November 2010. BELUM Mc 7642. Bird Sound, Site 4, South Georgia (54°02.095’S, 38° 00.187’W); depth 6m; collected by J. Brown and S. Brown, 22 nd November 2010. Comparative material examined: BMNH 79.12.27.12 Tedania tenuicapitata Ridley, 1881, Holotype. Tissue section and spicule preparation slides. Etymology: Named after Dr Emma Wells, the algal taxonomist on this expedition. External morphology: In situ appearance: Custard yellow thin (<5mm) crust. Encrusting on bedrock or algae and forming patches up to 15cm in diameter. Bumpy surface with veins visible in between bumps (Fig. 16a). Preserved appearance: Cream crust. Firm, not compressible. Surface in brain-like folds (Fig. 16a). Skeleton: The choanosomal skeleton is formed of ascending columns of 4–6 styles irregularly branched and connected with small columns 2–3 styles wide. The onychaetes combined into the choanosomal fibres and brushes but many free onychaetes also present in the choanosomal tissue. The ectosomal skeleton conststs of a palisade of tornotes (Fig. 16b). Spicules: Measurements from Mc7578. Styles: 301(335)382 by 9.6(13.6)17.3µm. Some faintly curved (Fig. 16c). Ectosomal tornotes: 241(309)278 by 6.7(9.4)11.7µm. Anisotornotes with mucronate ends (Fig. 16d). Onychaetes: 63(74)86 and 159(190)206 by 1.4(2.2)2.9µm. The large are pointed at both ends, the small have one pointed and one rounded end (Fig. 16e, f, g). Remarks: This species can be separated from others in the subgenus by the size range of its spicules (Table 8). They are similar in size range to Tedania (Tedaniopsis) tenuicapitata Ridley, 1881 which has similarly sized styles (296–387µm) and tornotes (185–270 µm), but much longer large onychaetes (132–327 and 52–75µm). However, comparison with the type specimen shows that all spicules are much less robust and it does not have the pronounced ascending skeletal columns found in this species. It differs from Tedania (Tedaniopsis) aurantiaca sp. nov. in having an encrusting rather than massive external form and the smaller size of its styles, ectosomal tornotes and onychaetes.Published as part of Goodwin, Claire & Brickle, Paul, 2012, Sponge biodiversity of South Georgia island with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 3542 on pages 29-3

    Myxilla (Burtonanchora) ponceti sp. nov. (Figure 13) Type material: Holotype: BELUM Mc 7572. Sample in 95% ethanol, tissue section and spicule preparation on slides; Floating Dock, Grytviken, South Georgia (54º 16.937´S, 36º 30.475´W); depth range: 0–6.6m; collected by C. Goodwin and S. Cartwright, 18 th November 2010. Paratypes: Samples in 95% ethanol, tissue section and spicule preparation on slides. BELUM Mc 7573. Floating Dock, Grytviken, South Georgia (54º 16.937´S, 36º 30.475´W); depth range: 0–6.6m; collected by C. Goodwin and S. Cartwright, 18 th November 2010. BELUM Mc 7600. Prion Island Site 2, South Georgia (54°001.862’S, 37° 15.032’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, D. Poncet, and P. Brewin, 19 th November 2010. BELUM Mc 7655. Prince Olav Harbour, South Georgia (54°03.579’S, 37° 08.203’W); depth 18m; collected by C. Goodwin, D. Poncet, and S. Brown, 23 rd November 2010. Etymology: Named for Dion Poncet, member of the expedition dive team, who alerted us to this ‘probable sponge’ under Grytviken jetty, and whose knowledge of South Georgia was invaluable to this survey. External morphology: In situ appearance: Specimens are large (10–20cm maximum dimension), smooth surfaced, lobed sponges, carrot orange in colour, bearing large terminal oscules on the ends of the lobes. The two largest specimens are fan shaped and bear the oscules in a line along the edge of the fan. They are attached by the base of the specimen to the substrate; the attachment point is quite broad in some specimens but in the fan shaped specimens is smaller and might be considered a stalk (Fig. 13a). Preserved appearance: Tissue firm but compressible. Ectosome is a dark brown, choanosome a paler brown. Skeleton: Choanosomal skeleton consists of ascending fibres of 4–10 styles joined by smaller, shorter, fibres of 1–3 styles. There is an ectosomal palisade of tylotes. Chelae scattered throughout skeleton and not forming rosettes (Fig. 13b). Spicules: Measurements from Mc7572. Choanosomal subtylostyles: 281(325)369 by 12.2(14.3)18.7µm. Smooth styles, often slightly curved. Some have a faint swelling at the head (Fig. 13c). Ectosomal tylotes: 197(276)324 by 6.9(10.3)14.5µm. Anisotylotes in which one or both ends are swollen. In some one end has a mucronate point (Fig. 13d). Chelae: In two categories 31(40)49 and 57(66)72µm (Fig. 13e). Remarks: Myxilla (Burtonanchora) is defined by possession of smooth rather than spined choanosomal styles. There are several species of Antarctic Myxilla (Burtonanchora) species (Table 7). However, all of these can be distinguished by having much larger choanosomal styles or the presence of sigmata. Myxilla (Burtonanchora) pistillaris Topsent, 1916 is most similar but has larger styles (480–500µm) and possesses raphides which are not present in this species.Published as part of Goodwin, Claire & Brickle, Paul, 2012, Sponge biodiversity of South Georgia island with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 3542 on pages 24-2
