Fields of Research
Main Content
Plant Biology research spans the breadth of biological organization with core areas in plant physiology, signal transduction pathways regulating light and hormone responses, genetic control of flower development, dynamic control of the cytoskeleton of plant cells, structure and function of the plant cell wall, evolution and function of microRNAs, ecology and evolution of mating systems. In addition to basic research, Plant Biology faculty are investigating a number of applied questions related to stress environment, invasive plant species, and, developing plants as an energy resource.
Ecology research includes basic issues in population dynamics, community interactions, effect of climate change on species diversity, disease dynamics at the population and community level, dynamic relationship of species interactions and the impact on communities, symbiosis of deep sea organisms, the impact of viruses and parasites on the ecology and evolution of host species, response of marine organism to longterm and catastrophic habitat changes, and plant-insect interactions in shaping reproductive strategies.
Neurobiology research encompasses basic questions of how neurons communicate with each other at the molecular and cellular level, synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity, the development of neurons and the central nervous system, how memory is stored and retrieved, the cause and cure of neurological diseases including anxiety and depression, schizophrenia, epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease, aggressive behavior and species interactions, and pain perception in vertebrates.
Evolution and Genomics research includes a large swath of questions that overlap with all other research areas in the Department of Biology. In addition, major research is focused on questions related to origin and dating of species, the birth and death of genes, chromosomal evolution, evolution of viruses, the role of mutation in evolution, human and mammalian population genomics, the evolution of major plant lineages, recent evolutionary and demographic history of mammalian species.
Cell and Development research is focused on various questions including how protein trafficking in the cell is regulated, the function and regulation of the cytoskeleton, regulatory pathways of cell growth and cancer, molecular basis of diabetes and obesity, regulatory pathways controlling embryonic development, and regulation of flower development and meiosis in plants.
Integrative Biology encompasses most of the research programs in the Department of Biology. Specific examples of multilevel research in the Department includes the ecology, evolution, and molecular biology of flight; reproductive strategies of plants in the context of viral infection, population dynamics, and the environment; multi-organ communication, nutrition, and molecular biology of diabetes and obesity; and molecular immunology of host response to parasites and viruses and their impact on nature population dynamics, chemistry and physiology of symbiosis of deep sea organisms and extreme environments.

Plant shut down last week for refueling
Forked River , NJ - Operators at Oyster Creek Generating Station declared an "Alert" at 9 p.m. EDT tonight after water levels in the plant's intake structure rose 6-feet above mean sea level, the threshold for an Alert declaration.
Oyster Creek was shut down Oct. 22 for planned maintenance and refueling. There is no challenge to plant safety equipment and no threat to the public health or safety associated with the Alert.
About the same time, Oyster Creek also experienced a power disruption in the station's switchyard. The station's two backup diesel generators activated immediately and continue to provide a stable supply of power to the station's systems. The site has more than two weeks of diesel fuel onsite. The site also has two natural gas turbine generators available as additional backup power sources if needed.
Technicians are working to restore power in the switchyard, similar to a large substation that delivers power to and from the plant.
Exelon has staffed on-site and off-site emergency operations centers to monitor weather and plant conditions and to provide updated information to local, state and federal officials.
An Alert is the second lowest of four emergency classifications established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Oyster Creek is about 60 miles east of Philadelphia in Ocean County, New Jersey. The plant produces 636 net megawatts of electricity at full power, enough electricity to supply 600,000 typical homes, the equivalent to all homes in Monmouth and Ocean counties combined. In addition, plant workers, through their payrolls, are responsible for more $96 million injected directly into New Jersey's economy.

It was purely a matter of time before urban style impresario Marc Ecko teamed up with some SUVmaker or other to create a semi-private-label promo model. Word came down yesterday that it's Nissan that will get the street-cred infusion by association, as Ecko is customizing two of its SUVs, each of which will be hooked to separate clothing lines: the Cut & Sew Nissan Armada and the *ecko unltd. Nissan Pathfinder. Both are being done up in the style of each line of urban wear — downtown luxe for the Armada and more casually chill for the Pathfinder. Ecko says the cars aren't a mashup, but rather a double label, just like in sneaker culture. Of course we're about as clear on that distinction as we are on the difference between the mass acculturation of hip-hop and the rise of, say, the market for golf accessories. But we're pretty dim sometimes.

Ah yes, the lonely nocturnal Instant Netflix binge — I know thee well. Nothing but my fat head and the glow of the computer screen, where scenes with Orange Is the New Black's Officer Bennett are ostensibly replacing any actual sex I might be having if I weren't single. (Jeez, that's depressing enough as it is.)
We already know that using multiple technological devices at a time contributes to depressive behavior, but it doesn't stop there. While nighttime show-streaming may seem like a mental break and comforting ritual after a long workday, Beta Beat, citing Dvice, reports that a new study has hinted at a link between depression and the blue wavelength lights found in smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
After subjecting hamsters to these bluelights in the nocturnal hours, the researchers discovered "altered neuronal structures" and "depressive reponses" in the lil' dudes. (I didn't know hamsters could listen to Elliott Smith, but, hey, The More You Know!)
Interestingly enough, nighttime red light is actually more conducive to a healthy emotional disposition, which someone should probably tell Sting.
They add that anyone who's predisposed to depression could be affected particularly severely by nighttime laptop use. Which is ironic, because typical depressive behavior includes using a laptop in bed for, like, hours at a time. I'm doing it right now! YOLO. #wellbutrin #hollaback
However, if you're particularly keen on that midnight My Strange Addiction binge — and who can blame you? Watch the one where the woman can't stop eating her couch stuffing — Dvice suggests using an app called F.lux, which softens and slightly reddens the light emitting from your laptop.
Counter-argument: Officer Bennett cures depression.

Hot Rod Overdrive Conversion - Five-Speed Fever!
An Overdrive Conversion Fit For A Hot Rod
Fuel economy and gas mileage are two terms that are impossible for hot rodders to ignore these days. With the current trends in the price of oil, those of us driving gas-guzzling or otherwise unfriendly fuel consumers are going to get hit the hardest. There are numerous ways to increase the fuel efficiency of your hot rod-from updating that old Quadrajet to a modern EFI system to changing the gears in your rearend-but one of the easiest and perhaps cheapest ways to go is to install an overdrive transmission. For those of you running a Muncie or similar manual trans behind a small-block Chevy, dropping in an overdrive manual trans such as a T5 or a Tremec TKO can't get any easier. And while a brand-new overdrive five- or six-speed gearbox may not be the cheapest way to reduce engine speed and gain fuel efficiency, there are junkyards full of a great alternative-the T5.
Originally manufactured by BorgWarner Automotive, the T5 transmission first appeared in the early '80s. These early T5s are classified as non-world class (NWC) and are rated for slightly less power than their later world class (WC) counterparts, which appeared by the end of the decade in the Mustang, Camaro, Firebird, and even some Jeep lines. The only American-made transmission to span more than 20 years, there is now a good supply of T5 transmissions, both WC and NWC, in salvage yards across the country. Given their relative abundance, they have become a very popular option within the hot rod crowd when it comes to an economic overdrive manual trans. With five fully synchronized forward gears, an overdrive, an internal shift-rail mechanism, and the ability to handle more than 300 lb-ft of torque, the T5 is also one of the most versatile manual transmissions available. Over the past 10 years or so, supported by a strong aftermarket industry supplying adapters to a vast number of vintage engines, the T5 has continued to increase in popularity. Add to that the compact size and light weight of the T5, and you have a transmission that seems almost tailored for use in a hot rod.
One of the problems with the later WC T5s, however, is shifter placement. While the Muncie, T10, and even the early Ford '39-style boxes placed the shifter relatively close to the bellhousing, the WC T5 places the shifter way back on the tailshaft, which is too far back for most hot rods and early trucks. This often causes interference with stock bench seats, among other things. The S-10 truck T5, however, has the shifter in a more appropriate location-about 10 inches closer to the bellhousing. While not as strong as the WC trans, the NWC S-10 transmission would be fine in a mild hot rod or truck with, say, a Flathead. But, you can have your cake and eat it too with the T5 trans. There are a few different variations of the original design because the T5 transmission has been produced in such large quantities and in such a wide variety of models, and, luckily for us, the parts needed to relocate the shifter position are interchangeable. This is great news, but unfortunately requires either finding the correct two transmissions or a good WC trans and the few parts it takes to make the conversion possible.
Recently, I became the proud owner of a '52 Ford F-1 pickup project I shouldn't have and began putting the drivetrain together for it. An old Chrysler Hemi engine from a previous project, along with a Camaro T5 transmission, was bolted together and slid between the framerails. Taking a few rough measurements, it quickly became clear that the shifter location on the Camaro trans was going to be located too far rearward for the truck cab. A call to Julian Nieto at 4C's Transmission in Whittier, California, located an S-10 tailshaft with the forward-mounted shifter location, along with the necessary shifter shaft. This swap will not only move the shifter forward about 10 inches, but will also center and level the transmission mount. Julian also installed a new rear seal in the tailshaft to ensure the final assembly would be leak-free.
With parts in hand, I headed back to my shop, where in a single evening I had the tailshafts swapped out, the internals of the transmission inspected, and the entire assembly back between the framerails of the F-1 in preparation for the crossmember and motor mounts to be installed. When the time comes for the trans to be installed permanently, it will be filled with Synthetic ATF and 12 ounces of Lucas Oil, but for now the shifter falls just under the dash and clears the stock seat assembly, enabling the use of a stock-looking early Ford shifter, all with the performance and reliability of a modern-day overdrive transmission.
Inspecting the Internals Since the case cover is removed to install the shorter S-10 shifter shaft, it's as good a time as any to inspect the transmission internals. Visually inspect all parts except O-rings and oil seals, which should be replaced with new parts. Draining the oil out of the trans is of course necessary to thoroughly inspect the internals of the transmission and also makes the mess slightly more manageable. Be sure to inspect the trans oil for metal shavings or other indications of unnecessary contact or wear, and also inspect the internals and case as well. Check the gear tooth contact patterns and compare with the diagram shown. Parts with contact patterns shown in the accept column are good to go. Those in the reject column will wind up being wall art. The gear and spline teeth also need to be inspected for chipping and compared to the diagram shown. Small burrs, nicks, or chips that fall under the repair column can be blend-repaired using a high-speed, handheld grinding tool. The repair should be blended into the surrounding area, removing as little material as possible, and leaving a smooth contour, devoid of any sharp edges. The gear teeth also need to be inspected for contact patterns and replaced as needed. The spline teeth will not show such wear, but may show signs of step wear, which warrants replacement. Inspect the clutch teeth as well for rounding. Face rounding will cause the clutch to jump out of gear. Clutch teeth with rounding on the end are usable, but will result in hard shifting. Burrs, nicks, or chips can be repaired in the same manner as gear teeth.

In today's business environment there is a tremendous need for companies to convert business content to PDF, PDF/A, IMAGE. This is apparent by the many requests programmers and IT professionals receive from managers in industries that range from the legal field to the financial and insurance fields. We realized this more than a decade ago and that is when we began to work on the suite of software products that are offered by Neevia Technology. We understand that we live in a PDF world and we set out to create an application that would change the way people view, share and work with e-documents.
Neevia Document Converter Pro is a software product that dynamically converts Microsoft Office 2003/2007/2010/2013/2016/2019/365, WordPerfect, HTML, AutoCAD DWG/DWF, EML, MSG, PostScript and many other document types to PDF, PDF/A, PostScript, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PCX, BMP. It operates in both a batch mode via directory or email scanning and in direct mode via a COM (ActiveX) component. Document Converter can be configured to recognize text - this is known as OCR - for the converting Image and PDF files and comes with support for printing the input files directly to a physical printer instead of converting them to PDF or Image.
With clustering and multi-threading support Neevia Document Converter Pro offers a reliable and stable conversion process.
Document Converter Pro is easy to install and is used by companies in the legal, pharmaceutical, insurance and in many other areas that generate voluminous documents. The goal of Neevia Document Converter Pro is to help your company create one PDF/Image standard that can be integrated into your workflow with ease and affordability.
Key features:
We started using Document Converter Pro in a project recently. The old solution, using Acrobat, required manual intervention every 2-3 days. Document Converter Pro has now been running uninterrupted for almost 4 weeks. This, combined with the excellent response I have had from your support team, makes me (and my client) extremely happy with your product & services.

Susan Boehm will take up a new Sydney-based role as head of acquisitions and development at Icon Film Distribution in January.
Boehm's three-year contract as a development executive at government agency Screen Australia came to an end in May and since then she has been having time off back home in the US. Before moving to Australia, she was head of the No Borders international co-production market.
"I am excited to be joining Icon, a company with a brilliant track record of bringing much beloved films to audiences," Boehm said in a statement. "I look forward to building on Icon's existing strong slate and to contributing to the growth of the company as part of Greg's team."
The Greg she's referring to is Icon chief executive Greg Hughes, who said that the company is fortunate to have found someone as highly credentialed and experienced as Susan.
"She has a great eye for high-quality material and fantastic relationships within the independent film community, both in Australia and internationally," he said. Boehm's first market will be the European Film Market in February.
There has been big changes at the top of Icon's Australian office during the last few months: in part sparked by Mark Gooder's move from Icon to The Weinstein Company. Although he hadn't been based in Australia for many years he was very hands-on, working closely with local theatrical general manager Greg Denning. Marketing manager Lisa Garner and Denning left the company soon after news of Gooder's relocation broke.
Icon's next releases are The Guillotines 3D (December 20), Zero Dark Thirty (January 31), Bullet To The Head (February 14), Hara-Kiri: Death Of A Samurai 3D (March 14) and Hyde Park On Hudson (March 28).
In the past two years its two most successful Australian releases were Stephan Elliott's A Few Best Men and Jim Loach's UK/Australia co-production Oranges And Sunshine.
The building in which Icon Film Distribution is based, in the inner Sydney suburb of Newtown, also houses the Dendy Cinema complex and it has also been undergoing significant change, substantially increasing its screen count to ten in a major renovation. Newtown is one of several arthouse cinema complexes in Australia under the Dendy brand name, which has been owned by Icon since early 2008.
It also acquired the distribution company Dendy Films, which has since been folded into Icon Film Distribution.

Tips and Tricks from Lily Chin
Lily Chin is amazing. Whether it's reinventing cable charts or being the fastest crocheted on the planet, she's a knitting force to be reckoned with.
She's a master knitter who's been a professional designer since 1981, and she wants to share some of her favorite knitting tips and tricks with you in her new video workshop, The Knitter's Toolbox: Lily Chin's Techniques and Tricks for Savvy Knitters.
|Using light from a lamp to see your
stitches better
Here are just a few of Lily's wonderful tips:
I can't see my stitches. If you're knitting with a mohair, bouclé, or a novelty yarn, hold your knitting up to a lampshade to see the stitches better for getting your gauge. This trick also works great to find a dropped stitch!
Do I have enough yarn? When knitting in stockinette stitch, if you have 3X the length of your row, plus 10%, you have enough yarn to do one more row.
This is not what I expected! Do unto the swatch as you will do unto the project and you will have no surprises. That is, launder your swatch as you're going to launder your finished piece and you'll see what will happen to the fabric. I wish I would have done this with a sweater I recently finished. The yarn ball band said that said the yarn was machine washable with cold water and dryable on low heat. I followed those directions and my sweater came out of the wash totally pilled. After two goings-over with the sweater comb to remove the pills, it looks years old. Sad for me! All that time and energy knitting went to waste. I'll wear the sweater, but only in the house.
|Binding off with a crochet hook
My bind-off is too tight!
To avoid a too-tight bind-off, use a crochet hook instead of your right needle, and follow these steps:
Step 1. Place the hood in the first stitch as if to knit, yarn over the hook, and draw the yarn through the stitch. Remove the stitch from the left needle to the hook, just as if you were knitting.
Step 2. Follow the directions in step 1 to "knit" another stitch. You now have two stitches on the crochet hook. Use the hook to draw the left stitch through the right stitch, as if you were making a crochet chain. You now have one stitch left on the crochet hook and one stitch bound off.
Repeat step 2 until all stitches are bound off. This method makes a looser bind off because it doesn't involve the traditional passing the right stitch over the left stitch, which tightens up the left stitch because it tugs on the yarn as it's pulled over the right stitch.
Pretty great tips, right? There are literally hours more (almost 5!) from Lily on her new video workshop—imagine how this video will change your knitting!

P.S. I'm sure you Knitting Daily readers have tips of your own. Please leave a comment and share them with us!

Dogo Argentino Nose Butter
Dogo Argentino Nose Butter® All Natural Moisturizer For Your Dogo's Dry Nose
Like many Mastiffs, Dogos often have dry nose issues, ranging from a bit of dryness to an extreme canine nasal dryness condition, Nasal Hyperkeratosis, in which the actual skin of the nose grows aggressively creating layers of scab-like crust.
Your Dogo Argentino's Dry Nose
The Dogo Argentino was initially bred for South American big-game hunting, such as wild boar. They had to catch the scent of the prey and track the game as they ran in hot pursuit.
While your Dogo will probably never chase wild boars, having a healthy nose is still important. A healthy dog nose is scent grabbing flypaper. Scents float by and the dog nose moisture traps the smells in a special nasal compartment for your dog to process. A dry nose can't catch the smells as well.
Dogo Argentino Nose Butter moisturizes and nourishes your Dogo's dry nose leather. After a few days of using Nose Butter your dog will look and feel better. Plus, they'll be more secure, grounded and confident getting all the available info.
Using Your Dogo's Nose Butter
- Warm product for faster absorption; put in a pocket for a bit or scoop a bit out with finger or spoon and warm in your palm
- DAB on your dog's nose
- DISTRACT to keep them from licking it off (give treat, feed dinner, go for walk)
- REPEAT 2-3x daily for 1-3 days or until there is improvement
- Then use as needed for maintenance (usually 1-2x a week)
- Non toxic, no active ingredients & won't harm your dog if they lick (or eat) some
Dogo Argentino Nose Butter® Product Info
- Individually handcrafted by The Blissful Dog in far northern Minnesota
- All natural and organic ingredients used: Shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, cocoa seed butter, avocado oil, beeswax + scented version essential oils; cedar wood, cypress and ylang ylang

- Unscented or Lightly Scented
- Includes complete directions booklet
- Dogo Argentino Label
- Note: Nose Butter is very thick and dense to be able to penetrate your dog's leathery nose tissue
How To Best Use Nose Butter® Info & Video
- For ease of application and faster absorption put tin or tube in your pocket for a few minutes to warm it
- TIN Scoop a bit out with finger or spoon and warm in your palm before application for faster absorption
- DAB on dog's nose
- DISTRACT to keep them from licking it off (give treat, feed dinner, go for walk)
- REPEAT 2-3x daily for 1-3 days or until there is improvement
- Use as needed for maintenance (usually 1-2x a week)
- Products have no active ingredients and will not harm your dog if they lick some off. But we do want the product to get it's work done, so see distract tips
- Complete tips, hints & directions brochure is included with every order
FYI: Our balms have a very thick, stiff consistency, because your dog's nose is very thick skin tissue. If it were a fluffy cream, it would not work.
Distraction Tips - Look Squirrel!
- Like pulling off a bandaid - Apply FAST
- Give treats before, during and after application, if needed
- Peanut butter on a wooden spoon is a great trick
- Feed their dinner after application
- Play your dog's fave game
- Throw a ball or go for a walk
- Pets and cuddles are always good
Keeping Expectations Real
Every so often a customer tells us their dog doesn't "like" the Nose Butter, etc. Some dogs just do not like being controlled, messed with, having their faces touched or anything done to them. We get it! Sometimes our dogs do NOT want to be messed with, restrained or have their faces touched. They will flip, fight, twist and turn and some of the dogs have the audacity to wipe the product off on the sofa or their owner's leg!
Your dog may not "like" having Nose Butter applied. They may not like going to the vet or getting their toenails trimmed. Just like most of us don't like going to the dentist, but we go. Sometimes we have to do something for our dog's well-being…cutting toenails, giving meds, cleaning ears, going to the vet, or applying Nose Butter, etc. If your dog struggles, make the process FASTER and reward lavishly. This may be one of those situations in which you have to be firm with your dog, again, for the greater good.
Application Tips for Wiggly, Uncooperative, Licking Dogs
How to Apply Nose, Paw, Elbow and Boo Boo Butter To Wiggly, Uncooperative, Licking, Twisting, Flipping Dogs
We feel your pain. Some of us have dogs that are less than cooperative when it comes to anything being done to them. It is not that they don't like the products themselves, they just don't want anything done to them. Period. For those dogs here are a few tips and tricks, but may we remind you...you are the person and sometimes we have to do what is for our dog's own good…like going to the vet, having toenails cut and maybe having Nose Butter put on their nose.
- Let your dog lick peanut butter off spoon while you apply
- Try strong smelling treats - goat cheese, tuna, fishy treats
- Tag team! One give treats or pet while the other applies
- Go for a walk, throw a ball
- Dab on while they sleep - sneaky!
- Be FAST! Dab! Distract! Done!
Additional Tips for Flat-Faced Dogs, Lickers and Carpet Rubbers
Flat-faced dogs often resist application, as their breathing is already compromised. Apply as quickly as possible and don't hold your flat-faced dog tightly, as this often makes them struggle more. This goes for Toy Dogs also, they know they're small and don't want to held tightly for fear of being hurt.
First be sure you are warming the product to the point of melted before application. It will soak in much faster if almost there when you apply.
Distracting dogs that are determined to lick the product off (or rub it off on furniture) may take some tenacity on your part. Treats, walks, throwing a ball or just petting them may work. Think of anything your dog loves and use that on them for the ten minutes or so needed. Stick to it...it's for your dog's well-being.

Nasal Hyperkeratosis Info - Extremely Dry Dog Noses
Is your dog's nose EXTREMELY dry? Does it look like barnacles are growing on it? Are there layers or chunks of crust that crack and bleed? If your dog's nose looks like the BEFORE noses in the image above, it may be Nasal Hyperkeratosis. Rest assured, it is not caused by diet, genetics, playing in the dirt or anything you can control. And the good news is Nose Butter® works on it!
Nasodigital or Nasal Hyperkeratosis is an idiopathic condition, which means unknown cause ¯\(°_o)/¯ that causes excessive formulation of dry crust that vets call keratin, (vet-speak for protein). It actually IS layers of skin tissue that has grown wild over on the nose.
This condition isn't life-threatening and most veterinarians consider Nasal Hyperkeratosis cosmetic. But there are medical, cosmetic and mental health reasons that this dry nose condition can affect your dog's well being. It has to be uncomfortable for your dog. Your dog cannot breathe as easily. It's unattractive, of course.
Most importantly, your dog is not getting the scents and smells they need to feel secure and confident. A healthy nose snags good smells that float by and provides your dog with info. A dry nose is not going to capture the info packed smells. This can lead to frustration and a lack of self confidence.
You know you feel when have NO SERVICE as you drive in an unfamiliar area? Probably frustrated, anxious and maybe terrified. Your dog experiences those same emotions when they can't get the info they need to make good dog decisions.
Customer Reviews
We had tried many products for our St Bernards nose issues and this is the only one that works for her.. !! 🤗
I would give this product 10 ⭐ if I could! Within 24 hrs my dogs nose was clear and she was feeling much better.
Immediate relief for this little basset! So excited that he gets to have a young and clean little puppy nose again! THANK YOU!
As soon as my daughter put the Nose Butter on Hoss she could see a difference! It's amazing!
I was worried about my dog's nose. It was so crusty and sore looking. I didn't know what to put on it that would be safe. I found this product in an ad so I thought I would give it a try. Well I have to say, I'm surprised at how fast it worked. Her nose is looking great. So glad I tried it.
We're really glad you found us also! Give your girl a BIG hug from us. And thank you for taking the time to let us know! -Kathy
Merry Christmas and thank you for making such a wonderful product. love your product! Bella has her smooth nose back! At age 10, the hyperkeratosis began appearing.
Our veterinarian recommended the nose butter to me, as your ingredients are all natural. In the beginning, I rubbed the butter on her nose twice daily. Now, she just gets a nose rub in the morning along with breakfast. Cookie in hand, a bowl full of food and gentle, soothing puppy talk, she'll willingly let me rub the butter into her nose!
Millie, my 14 year old Japanese Chin was rescued from a life of terrible neglect. I found the Blissful Dog when I was looking for help for her dry nose. I've been using the Nose Butter as directed and it's been great. She doesn't even mind when I touch her nose. The splits and bumps she had must have been quite painful. Now her teeny, tiny nose is black and shiny. Thanks from Millie and Cate
Oakley's cute little nose is no longer dry and rough thanks to his nose butter. This product worked easily and quickly. Thank you
Thank you for your reliable quality care and products. You have made Lacey's (cavalier) nose greatly improved. The rough, cracking, and dry nose problem is 95% improved, and will continue to be better with my constant attention to applying regularly.
Thank you so much for these items! I have Spaniels and they have problems with their noses. This is just the solution I was looking for! My only negative thing to say about this is I'm sorry I didn't find this sooner! (Imported from eBay)

Pinning down the "best" scene of any Oscar-nominated performance is something of a Stygian nightmare for producers because — as they correctly protest — if an actor or actress has been nominated, they have far more than one great scene. But when ballots are being ticked off by academy voters later this month, most of them will have a single, crystallizing, moment held in their memory that helps them choose one performance over another. Here, then, are 10 of those great, possibly award-winning, moments:
Christian Bale / "American Hustle"
The setup: To avoid jail time, two low-level con artists are enlisted by an FBI agent to teach them how the business works … but the agent may be the one who ends up getting conned.
Key scene: "The opening scene summarizes a big theme of the movie, which is construction — he's constructing this elaborate con, and it's so symbolic of the film where he's constructing his hair," producer Richard Suckle says. "He's not saying a word, which is a testament to Christian's skills as an actor; he's creating a character that sucks you in slowly as you're seeing Irving Rosenfeld for the first time, in a really raw state." Adds producer Jonathan Gordon, "It's almost in real time that you watch him go from a mess, and in spite of his girth and unconventional hair he is handsome and confident and vulnerable and conflicted. You see all these things going on in his eyes."
Bruce Dern / "Nebraska"
The setup: An aging man believes he's won $1 million in a mail-in sweepstakes, and convinces his son to take him to pick up his prize. When he's thwarted, his son finds a way to get him the prize he's always wanted: A truck.
Key scene: "I keep going back and forth between the visit to the old house and the drive through town at the end. The walk through [his childhood home] is the emotional center of his performance and the heart of his performance as well," says producer Albert Berger. "In the walk through the house you get the sense of the arbitrariness of life, and in a sense the whole movie is this son's examination of who is this strange man I call my father." Adds producer Ron Yerxa, "In the final drive-through scene, Bruce managed to evoke being the recipient of his son's generosity, yet also he was able to stand tall in the truck and have this moment of reassertion of strength for himself."
Leonardo DiCaprio / "The Wolf of Wall Street"
The setup: Penny-stocks king Jordan Belfort indulges in every form of decadence possible on his way up the Wall Street ladder, and has a long way to fall once the Feds decide to bring him down.
Key scene: "There's a lot of talk about the Quaalude scene, but the moment that crystallizes it all for me is where Leo is rallying the brokers as they're about to start selling the Steve Madden IPO," producer Emma Tillinger Koskoff says. "When he gives that speech about 'pick up the phone and start dialing,' for me that transformation is breathtaking to watch. But also early in the movie there's a scene with Matthew McConaughey [as Leo's first boss] that I think will go down in history as iconic and classic. Leo's performance is incredible, and the dynamic between them is incredible. It is a classic, classic scene."
Chiwetel Ejiofor / "12 Years a Slave"
The setup: A free black man is kidnapped into slavery in pre-Civil War America and must endure until he can be brought home.
Key scene: "The emblem of the brilliance of Chiwetel's performance as Solomon is the one that precedes him being rescued by the authorities, right at the very end," producer Jeremy Kleiner says. "It's a performance that's all expressiveness, like the most finely tuned instrument, as he's looking around, waiting, and going through the gamut of human emotions and psychological swings. Through facial expressions and his eyes, and how at one point he appears to be looking at us, the audience, for a split second — it's as if he's looking through us. He has this indomitable human dignity and resilience, a grace or nobility of character that when it is expressed makes the inhumanity of man in the system of slavery appear in relief — and that point/counterpoint I find very powerful."
Matthew McConaughey / "Dallas Buyers Club"
The setup: Ron Woodroof is a substance-abusing, womanizing Texan who learns he has days to live after being diagnosed with AIDS, but he refuses to take that diagnosis lying down.
Key scene: "When they diagnose him in the hospital room and he storms out the door — from that moment on you are seeing Matthew McConaughey in a way you've never seen him before, and it sets the whole performance," producer Robbie Brenner says. "That moment is so real, and it's such a dynamic, emotional and powerful scene. I remember being there when he filmed it and thinking to myself — we were all crammed into this hospital room with a curtain in the way, so I could just peek into the scene — and hearing his voice and delivery, I got chills. It always struck me as the most powerful scene in the movie."
Amy Adams / "American Hustle"
The setup: As a con artist roped into working with the FBI, Adams' Sydney Prosser must decide whether she can go through with the plan to undermine the agent working with them, or fall for him — and both seem possible.
Key scene: "There's a scene after she's been released from custody and is back in the apartment with Irving," producer Jonathan Gordon says. "It's all crumbling around her, and in the midst of all that she goes from falling apart to finding strength to take control of the situation. There's this fearless moment when she goes from an almost desperate manic state to becoming powerful and uncompromising in the next minute. Those are turns you'd see an actor take over the course of two hours in a movie, but Amy does it in a matter of minutes. It's such a deft performance because you don't see any of the moves happening."
Cate Blanchett / "Blue Jasmine"
The setup: The wife of a Bernie Madoff-type financial swindler is brought low by their loss of money and prestige and falls on the mercy of her estranged, working-class sister for help.
Key scene: "There wasn't one scene where Cate wasn't exceptional," producer Letty Aronson says. "But the scene where her husband says he's leaving her, and she has a complete breakdown and calls and turns him in [to the Feds] — that's a pivotal scene because it changes everybody's life, the sister's, the boyfriend's, Alec [Baldwin] gets arrested and commits suicide … her life is in tatters. And you know she brought it all on herself. Then, at the very end, when she has nothing any more, sitting on the park bench and alone is just brilliant, you feel the overall performance. Those are the key scenes to the film."
Sandra Bullock / "Gravity"
The setup: While working on the Hubble Space Telescope, a first-time astronaut and her veteran mentor are cast adrift when space debris destroys their shuttle.
Key scene: "The scene where Sandra is just spinning away, hyperventilating and in a panic, she's absolutely out of control," producer David Heyman says. "She has to go from that to a gradual acceptance that she is lost, that no one is going to save her. There's nowhere to hide, no cut, all done in one shot. She's drifting off into the void physically, which reflects emotionally where she is in the film. She has to do it all behind a visor and in a space suit — there's no physical means of expression except her eyes and her breath. And she did all of this while being filmed largely in what we called the light box. It was an incredibly technical exercise as well as being a beautiful acting moment in pure performance."
Judi Dench / "Philomena"
The setup: A woman whose child was taken away from her and adopted into another family searches for him many years later with the help of a journalist.
Key scene: "At the end of the movie, she's watching her son's life unfold on a TV screen, and we see her react to a life she never got to witness," says producer/writer/co-star Steve Coogan. "Our heart goes out to her, but her expression is all about her face — the camera is so close; it's like all the lines on her face tell a story and the pain is etched on her face literally. It's what you hope for when you write a story, because when you're down to the wire with drama, you are at the mercy of your lead actor. They either invest that moment with everything you hoped for or they don't, and of course Judi did — she elevated that moment and made it poetic."
Meryl Streep / "August: Osage County"
The setup: A prescription pill-addicted, cancer-stricken, vituperative mother snipes at her grown children in the wake of their father's unexpected suicide.
Key scene: "For me, it's the very long dinner scene after the funeral," producer Grant Heslov says. "It's one of the great scenes I've seen in years — and it's something like 15, 17 minutes long. She's clearly at the moment where she's most screwed up as a character — she's high and her husband has died, and she picks at every single person and there's no fear in her performance. Meryl allows herself to go there, and she's a horrible character when you think about it. But she's so willing to do it, there's no 98% — everything is 100%. When you're actually there, watching her do it, you're getting to look inside a world you can't believe. And each take was better than the next."

Woodpecker Wham!February 16th, 2015
Illustrated by Steve Jenkins, Henry Holt Books for Young Readers, May 12, 2015.
"Verdict: Lovely and exciting, this title is a great hook for young researchers, as well as fledgling ornithologists."
-Starred Review, School Library Journal.
"Repetitive onomatopoeic sounds such as 'CHOP, CHIP, CHOP' and 'BONK-BONK-BONK' combine with plentiful alliteration to make the simple verses come alive . . . Attractive and surprisingly informative, this should join the duo's Eat Like a Bear (2013) on every preschool and primary nature shelf."
"Sayre introduces the distinctively noisy woodpecker and the rhythmic cadences that fill its industrious life through a rhyming, sound word-filled text."
-Horn Book
"Short, playful text featuring plenty of action words and onomatopoeia describes a variety of woodpecker activities."

*We are still all going through the allergy junk. Noah's has progressed to this gross croupy cough. Miles' congestion settled in his ears and he now has a double ear infection...again. This is the 4th ear infection in the 6 months since he's been home. I'm no genius, but I see tubes in that boy's future. It could also explain why he has been the most whiny, annoying child on the planet for the last few days and why he flunked his hearing exam today. Hello, round 645 of antibiotics. Good thing we have Walgreen's stock.
*Noah started his first day of preschool yesterday. Yee Haw! He was so pumped to get to see his friends! Isn't he cute? I could just sop him up with a biscuit!
*I got "recognized" today in public for the first time from my blog. I'll tell ya'- I felt like a total rock star. A woman we'll call J. came down the hallway at the audiologist's office saying, "Wait! Wait! I read your blog!" (J- here's your shout out!) She introduced herself and met the kids and I left feeling like Kim Kardashian or Britney Spears or something.
*My brave and lovely neighbors have offered to let the big kids come over and camp at their house tonight. They are setting up a tent inside the house and eating lots of junk food. Without the kids here on a Friday night, I am anticipating going to bed at 8:30. Yeah- I know. I'm a rebel!
*One of my husband's clients gave him a zillion apples the other day which we turned into all kinds of pies. Here is Kamron sitting at the table peeling all those apples. Have you ever read the book, The Five Love Languages ? I am 100% "acts of service". Forget giving me diamonds or flowers- if you run the vacuum for me or peel my apples, I would gladly welcome the troops home for Christmas in a heart beat. That is why this picture just thrills my soul.
* I need a weight loss intervention. Even my sweatpants are getting a little tight and I am not yet desperate enough to put Spanx on under my sweats. It's just not gonna happen.
* Sadie is starting Girl Scouts in the morning. I am so excited for her. She has HORRIBLE social anxiety that she has been working on in therapy. So when she came home begging to do Girl Scouts, I did a little happy dance.
* I know that it is Friday and long ago I started a Friday "Adoption Corner" series. The burnout has caused it to fall by the wayside. Damn you, burnout. One of these days I will resurrect the series.
* Last but not least, my friend Jamey (who I actually got to meet once in real life!) is hosting a raffle. The proceeds from the raffle will go to a family who is having some trouble raising the funds to complete their Ethiopian adoption of two older children. The grand prize is a MamaEnat handmade blanket. The raffle says that it is for an Ethiopian flag blanket, but Jamey is soooo awesome that she said if any of my Congo mamas win it, she will make you a Congolese flag instead. Or China, or wherever else in the world you want your flag blankie to be from. How cool is that? I get so in awe of people who can make and create things. So head on over to Jamey's blog and buy a raffle ticket. They are only 5 bucks each and you will be helping to unite a family. Go get ya' some.

Local club offers deep discounts on gently used items
The gymnasium at Trinity Fellowship church is filled wall to wall with gently-used items for children, teens, adults and home.
The Northwest Arkansas Moms of Multiples club sponsored the semi-annual consignment sale that features items priced to move.
"We have double or triple of everything and we need to get rid of it and make money to buy more," said Karin Alvarado, coordinator for the Hands Full consignment sale. "We'll also be able to raise money for our club so we can support our organizations and charities that we want to support."
Shelters, mission trips and mothers of twins, triplets and other multiples are among the groups they assist.
"Some people price to sell because they don't want it in their house anymore," said Alvarado.
Friday sale hours are from 5-8 p.m.
Saturday sale hours are from 7 a.m. until noon.
Most items on Saturday are discounted 50 percent.

Tooling Article
10 Noteworthy Developments in Sensors and Controls
The November 2013 FABTECH show was a delightful showcase of the latest and greatest in electronics for metalforming and assembly. Seemingly every aisle featured at least one stunning new development in sensor or controls technology. Here I share 10 such pillars of technology, gathered as I put on my consultant hat during the show and explored it with the eyes and needs of my metalforming and assembly clients.
Note: I am not endorsing nor recommending the products described here, but I certainly encourage readers to explore them further to determine their potential applicability to their plant's needs. The brief comments below (in alphabetical manufacturer order) are a hybrid of my show observations, conversations with the various vendors at FABTECH and materials published by the respective manufacturers.
1) Balluff Flatpack SteelFace sensor: Literally not a week goes by in my error-proofing consultations where a client does not ask about sensors that can better survive their harsh welding environments. This important new sensor offers an alternative to the more common tubular types of sensors that find use throughout the welding processes in our industry. Its rectangular flat packaging can potentially make its installation within welding fixtures more flexible. Its survivability within harsh welding environments stems, in part, from its one-piece stainless-steel housing and Balluff's new patent-pending coating.
2) Cieco Automator II control: With as many as 48 die-protection sensor inputs and 32 cam outputs, this controller offers numerous features including a 15-in. touchscreen; versatile rack system; paperless press setup and technical documentation access; field upgradability; and function-specific I/O cards, including functions such as automated adjustments of shut height and counterbalance, analog sensor input, servo-feed interface and Ethernet process monitoring and reporting.
3) Helm Compass RLG: What appears to be a first in its field, this system offers smartphone and tablet-PC communications, via Bluetooth and Helm's RLG-2/4 load monitor. Using the Android OS, a metalformer can use a smartphone or tablet to download, in real time, tonnage values and force signatures. This exemplifies a new trend in our industry of having at one's immediate access the latest status of shopfloor activity—on demand and wirelessly.
4) Link OmniLink 806 operator terminal: With the explosion in servo-press technology worldwide, the timely arrival of an operator die-protection control specifically aimed at those types of presses is most welcomed. The flexibility of a servo press stroke, including its pendulum mode, can be an interesting die-protection programming challenge. This new controller addresses specifically and in an easy-to-understand visual manner the timing-window setups for the various sensors embedded in a die running in a servo press, and the various press and tooling cam outputs.
5) Pinnacle Universal Safety Controller Hub: This device integrates what usually is a set of multiple, separate and freestanding safety relays into one unit. Thus, the monitoring and control of devices such as interlock switches, safety light curtains, E-stop switches and safety mats can be accomplished with this one controller. Dry contact safety relays and solid-state outputs also are incorporated within this one system. The device promises substantial cost savings by avoiding the installation, wiring and hardware complexity of separate safety relay systems.
6) Schwer+Kopka Impax-SK 400 process monitor: Force monitoring via sensors embedded in tooling has been further enhanced with the release by Impax of this new Mandonic auto-enveloping system, developed "to provide a solution to the old conflict between detecting errors reliably but avoiding machine shut downs without reason," say company officials. The typical envelope that is selected around a given force signature has been made much more reliable and dynamic. In a sense, this new enveloping technique is a living system that continuously adjusts itself for improved detection of a true tooling failure without nuisance machine stoppages for most processes.
7) Starrett KineScope microscope: This handheld microscope combines a digital video camera, precision optics and LED lighting in a unit that comfortably sits in the palm of the hand. With 40X to 140X magnification, it connects directly to a computer via USB port—no dedicated video monitor required. The included VLink imaging and measuring software captures stills and videos, adds labels, makes measurements and allows users to draw on the live or captured images. It can be most useful for part-quality and tooling-inspection purposes.
8) Toledo Maximizer TPC: This PLC-based press control features a 19-in. touchscreen for easy operator setup of tonnage monitoring, die protection, feed-line integration, programmable limit switches (cams), brake monitoring, motion detection, counters and more. An interesting feature includes the ability to bypass die-protection sensors on specific coil-fed progressive-die stations until the strip material feeds completely through the die, to reduce nuisance alarms during coil changes.
9) Turck inductive sensor for material ID: This inductive eddy-current sensor can distinguish all types of metal alloys that pass in front of it—ferrous and nonferrous. Turck's technology for this analog sensor incorporates the processing of amplitude and phase signals mathematically to perform the material differentiation. The distance between the sensor and the target is of no consequence to the ability of the sensor to distinguish material type.
10) Wintriss ShopFloorConnect: Tracing its origins back to 1985 when Wintriss introduced its first industrial downtime data-collection and efficiency-reporting software, ShopFloorConnect has evolved to include the ability to monitor virtually all industrial shop-floor machine processes. It displays real-time shop-floor status via a web browser, and uses wired and wireless Ethernet connections to interface with the various production machines on the factory floor. Its reports are fully customizable with automated distribution of the reports as needed.Of course, to truly cover the entire spectrum exciting new and improved sensor and control products at FABTECH proves virtually impossible within the scope of a brief article. Nevertheless, I hope the above items will perk a desire by the readers of MetalForming to contact these and other vendors of the latest and greatest in electronics for error-proofing metalforming and assembly operations.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Scholars Program in the Arts and Humanities at Hope College held its first commencement event on Tuesday, April 16.
The event recognized the first cohort of program graduates -- Athina Isabelle Alvarez of Grand Rapids, Tessa Angell of Grand Rapids, Katie Callam of Holland, Madalyn Muncy of Warren and Daniel Owens of Rocky River, Ohio.
Provost Emeritus Dr. James Boelkins and retiring Dean for the Arts and Humaniies Dr. William Reynolds were recognized for their support for the creation and development of the program. Professors Anne Heath and Natalie Dykstra were honored for their mentoring of Mellon Scholars.
According to Program Director, William Pannapacker, "Our goal was to create a three-year program of faculty-student collaborative research with an emphasis on the integration of digital technology with the traditional liberal arts. In doing so, we set out prepare our students for the highest distinctions and opportunities in academe and outside of it. With the graduation of the class of 2013 and the arrival of the class of 2016 we have achieved that goal."
Pannapacker sketched how the second phase of the Mellon Scholars program will provide even more support for collaborative research, conference participation, travel, and engagement with digital technology. A "digital scholarship fellow" has been hired by the program to support faculty and student development. The program will launch a series of large-scale, collaborative projects such as "Digital Holland" and will expand its partnerships with research universities such as Michigan State, the University of Virginia, Duke, and the University of London through the Praxis Network. The Mellon Scholars also will launch a partnership with the Philadelphia Center to combine the "Digital Liberal Arts" with experiential education in the workplace.
Last Friday, nearly 30 Mellon Scholars presented their work at the Celebration for Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance. According to Pannapacker, "In the short span of four years—with the support of so many individuals—administrators, staff, faculty, students, and a growing list of external partners, the Mellon Scholars have become an established presence in the life of Hope College. It has brought the culture of faculty-student collaborative research to the arts and humanities, and it has made Hope College a national leader in the integration of the traditional liberal arts with new technologies that prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century".

Some descriptive results from DenmarkBille, Trine (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the labor market for artists and in the creative industries more broadly: How important is a formal education for jobs in the creative industries? How are the careers of people with a creative education? Do they work in the creative industries or outside the creative industries? How is the profile of the jobs within the creative industries? Alper and Wassall (2006) present an overview of the economic, mainly empirical research concerning the labor market of artists. Different types of studies can be distinguished: theoretical models of artistic career processes, qualitative interviews and data, retrospective surveys and panel data based on surveys (either true panel studies or quasi panel studies). Some of the most extended studies on artists' earnings are done by Alper and Wassall on American census data, where data comes from peoples selfreporting in surveys, and peoples' occupation is based on time spent at work during a single reference week. This do obvious have some drawbacks. Register data from Statistics Denmark representing true panel data, makes it possible to overcome some of these problems and gain new knowledge on the career patterns of artists, their income, the importance of education, multiple jobholding etc. The register data used in this paper includes a lot of variables on socio-economy, income, employment etc. for the Danish population in the period 1994-2003. The paper includes a discussion and delimitation of artist and the creative industries, and presents new empirical results on the labor market for artists and in the creative industries URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7750

The Role of Ambidexterity, Standard, and Decision ProcessMei, Maggie Qiuzhu (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Innovation is the engine of sustained organizational performance and is central to organizations' competitive advantage. In an effort to understand how to foster innovation at firms, extant research has highlighted the role of organizational learning in shaping innovation capabilities at firms. Motivated by the importance of innovation, this PhD dissertation aims to improve our understanding of the complex relationship between organizational learning and innovation capabilities at firms. The dissertation consists of three studies using various datasets and methodologies that investigate the relationship between organizational learning and innovation creation in an organizational context. Taking a nuanced view of organizational learning, the dissertation investigates how three different organizational learning processes could affect innovation creation at the firm level and project level. Specifically, essay 1 focuses on how to manage ambidextrous learning for superior radical and incremental innovation capabilities; essay 2 examines how learning through knowledge sharing in the context of standard setting impacts on firms' innovation performance; and essay 3 moves down to project level and explores how and when strategic decision comprehensiveness can affect new product development performance. Taken together, though examining three separate approaches that firms employ to manage organizational learning for innovation creation, the three studies in this dissertation collectively contribute to the understanding of managing organizational learning for innovation creation at firms. The three studies in this dissertation show how three prominent organizational learning processes impact on firms' innovation performance. Furthermore, the studies in this dissertation emphasize that there are limitation and boundary conditions for different organizational learning processes. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8898

The Value of Coworker Mobility in Pushed and Pulled-driven StartupsRocha, Vera; Carneiro, Anabela; Varum, Celeste (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: By combining the insights from the widespread research on entrepreneurial spin-offs and from the emerging literature on hiring choices in startups, we investigate the role of coworker mobility in pushed and pulled spin-offs survival. We address two main gaps identi ed in prior research: the relative inattention paid to other human resources beyond the founder, and the hetero-geneous context where employee startups may be established. We use a rich matched employer-employee dataset for Portugal, and estimate a multi-stage model addressing the issues of self-selection in entrepreneurship and endogeneity in recruitment choices. We find that spin-offs hiring coworkers from the parent fi rm survive longer. The survival bonus resulting from coworker mobility is higher in pushed-driven startups. This work has important implications for broader theories on the role of labor mobility in organizational outcomes of arrival fi rms, and also for developing theories on labor markets for entrepreneurship. It also constitutes an important step towards unpacking the mechanisms through which mobile human capital affects the performance of receiving firms. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9307

Lando, Henrik (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: How should a court set the negligence standard in a given area of activity when future (potential) injurers or victims are unlikely to know the standard set by the court? In particular, how should the standard be set in the oft-occurring case where one of the future parties is a professional actor who is likely to know the legal standard of negligence, while the other is an amateur, who is unlikely to know it? In this case, it may be optimal for the court to set the standards at the first-best level despite the amateur's ignorance of the law. The amateur may be able to infer the standards, either from the situation itself (from his knowledge of the costs and benefits of precautions), or from the act performed by the professional party. Moreover, the amateur may take due care because he realizes that the professional party will have an incentive to live up to the standard, and that the risk of a loss will therefore be on the amateur. However, when the ignorance of the amateur is "large," involving not only the legal standards but also the risks inherent in the activity, it may well be optimal for the court to depart from first best standards.

the case of the Øresund medi-tech plastic industrySornn-Friese, Henrik; Simoni Sørensen, Janne (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper investigates barriers to the process of regional economic development from a linkage perspective. It develops the concepts of linkage lock-in and switching costs as fundamental factors explaining some of the social dynamics of the process. The overall claim of the paper is that different types of costs and their determinants may lock firms in to existing linkages, creating a probable barrier to successful regional economic development. The paper defines linkage lock-in as the difficulty in switching to alternative linkage partners, even if this is desirable. Switching costs are the costs involved in terminating and forming linkages. The extent of transaction costs, dynamic transaction costs and opportunity costs delineate switching costs in interfirm linkages. The paper further elaborates on the concept of opportunity costs; it states that in dynamically competitive environments a class of opportunity costs, namely learning opportunity costs might arise as a result of the relative importance of learning and innovation. Learning opportunity costs are defined as the costs of missing key possibilities to learn in dynamically competitive environments. They are furthermore seen as being constituted by cognitive costs, which in turn are influenced by the existence of information costs. The theoretical argument is illustrated by a case study of the medical part of the Øresund medi-tech plastic industry. Key words: Regional economic development; interfirm linkages and switching costs; lock-in and learning; cross-border business; medi-tech plastic industry.

Lessons from the Entertainment IndustriesLorenzen, Mark; Frederiksen, Lars (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper analyses management of product innovation in project-based industries, offering a view on management not only of firms, but also of markets. It first argues that projects are prominent in industries where the nature of consumer demand means that product innovation takes place as experimentation. Then, the paper argues that if skills needed for projects are very diverse and projects are complex, there are few internal managerial economies of projects, and the scope for management then transcends the boundaries of firms. In these cases, markets become organized in combinations of people, contracts, and other institutions, in order to facilitate the coordination of market-based projects. While contracts play a role, a continuous, active role of knowledgeable managers (leaders and boundary spanners) is also often necessary. Such managers --- and thus (core parts of) whole industries --- are embedded in project ecologies at particular places, which is why we see geographical clusters in many project-based industries. The paper is mainly conceptual, but develops its argument by drawing examples from the Entertainment industries throughout.

Does it make sense?Bille, Trine (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper discusses the concept of the experience economy in a Nordic context and shows how the Nordic version of the concept has come about from a mix of three different approaches and theories. Besides, the Nordic definition links the experience economy closely with cultural activities. In the Nordic countries the experience economy has been developed in a political context and it is apparently a popular development policy for local government authorities and regions. This paper discusses the Nordic definition of experience economy and questions if it makes any sense. The definition of experiences is not clear, and the definition of the word "economy" has different interpretations as well. In a narrow interpretation the term economy is related to market economic value, which is used in the political terminology. The paper shows that the experience economy can follow three different routes to market value creation, and how the growth opportunities for the different experience areas will depend on three different trends. Therefore, it can be shown that only some experience areas are growing, and the market value creation occurs in very different ways and to very different extents within, and in relation to, the different experience areas. The greatest growth potential resides probably in the broad value creation in association with the experience areas. But the experience economy does not lend itself to any consistent definition.

Business Strategies in the Offshore Supply IndustryRoslyng Olesen, Thomas (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This report is part of the research project "The competitive challenges and strategic development possibilities for The Blue Denmark", which was launched in 2014. The project is funded by the Danish Maritime Fund and carried out by researchers at CBS Maritime which is a Business in Society Platform at Copenhagen Business School with a focus on value creation in the maritime industries. The project embraces various maritime segments from shipping and offshore to ports and suppliers. The research questions for the individual projects have been formulated by researchers at CBS Maritime in cooperation with companies in the maritime sector. This report "Offshore Supply Industry Dynamics – Business strategies in the offshore supply industry" is the second report in mapping project D. It examines the markets and business strategies of various suppliers and furthermore presents an analysis of the challenges and opportunities for the companies engaged in the different parts of the sector. The report is developed from interviews with top management of key players in the Danish supply industry combined with studies on management literature. The macro- and meso levels of the offshore sector are examined in the CBS Maritime report "Offshore Supply Chain Dynamics – The main drivers in the energy sector and the value chain characteristics for offshore oil and gas and offshore wind", which constitutes the first part of mapping project D. It offers insights into the main drivers in the energy sector (macro level) and the value chain characteristics for offshore oil and gas and offshore wind (meso level).
