Product Quality Selection and Firm Survival. Evidence from the British Automobile Industry, 1895-1970.
No full textThis paper proposes an additional determininant of firm survival. Based on a detailed examination of firm survival in the British automobile industry between 1895 and 1970, we conclude that firm’s selection of submarket-defined by quality level-influenced survival. In contrast to findings for the US automobile industry, there is no evidence of first-mover advantage in the market as a whole. However, we do find evidence of first-mover advantage after conditioning on submarket choice.firm survival, product differentiation, submarket, product quality
Inter-comparison between five devices for determining erodability of intertidal sediments
No full textFive erosion devices were compared using five intertidal estuarine sites covering a range of sediment stability from newly settled mud to very cohesive mud at the margins of a saltmarsh. The erosion devices use different methods of fluid shearing from horizontal currents/bed shear stresses to vertical water jets, and have different ‘footprint’ areas. The devices included: (1) the annular flumes (AFs—diameter 64 cm; footprint area 0.17 m2) of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML); (2) PML's mini-annular flume (MAF—diameter 19 cm; area 0.026 m2); (3) the annular mini-flume (AMF—diameter 30.5 cm; area 0.032 m2) of the National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOC); (4) NOC's Cohesive Strength Meter (CSM—diameter 3 cm; area 0.0007 m2); (5) NOC's EROMES (ER—diameter 10 cm; area 0.0079 m2). The quantification of threshold shear stress for bed erosion (?e) and sediment erosion rate was complemented by the measurement of physical, chemical and biological properties of the sediment (grain size, bulk density, water content, organic content, chlorophyll a, carbohydrates, macrofauna). The results demonstrated a significant correlation (r2=0.98) between the PML AF (laboratory measurement of undisturbed cored sediment) and PML MAF (in situ) for measurement of erosion thresholds for bed sediment. However, there were no significant correlations between AFs, the CSM and EROMES. There were no consistent correlations with physical or biological sediment properties due to the spatially unrelated sites and the marked differences in benthic assemblages. The sources of differences and the lack of correlations between erosion devices were due to several factors, including operational procedures (e.g., sediment resuspension during filling with water), definition of erosion threshold, the nature of the force applied to the bed, and method of calibration. In contrast to the CSM and EROMES, both types of AFs were able to record significant differences in the erodability of soft sediments from four sites. This indicates that the CSM and EROMES may not be very effective at measuring the differences in erosion thresholds of soft estuarine sediments. <br/
Variation in ripening of thompson seedless on different training systems
No full textNot AvailableThe investigation was carried out to find the variation in ripening of Thompson Seedless on different training systems. The maximum berry weight was recorded on bower system followed by telephone, single cross-arm trellis, Geneva double curtain, Tatura trellis and double cross-arm trellis respectively at final stage of sampling. The T.S.S. and T.S.S.Jacid ratio increased till the final sampling and were highest in Geneva double curtain, followed by telephone, single cross-arm trellis, Tatura trellis, bower and lowest in double cross-arm trellis. The acidity showed decreased trend, although the differences were very narrow ranging from 0.56% to 0.67% in different training systems. These observations indicated that ripening as judged by a definite T.S.S./acid ratio could be hastened by employing appropriate training system in this cultivar.Not Availabl
