ABSTRACT Experiments are described dealing with the mechanism of action of 6-chloro-Δ6-1,2α-methylene-17α-hydroxyprogesterone-acetate with regard to its anti-masculine effect on male rat foetuses, when administered to pregnant rats. It was shown that a marked direct anti-androgenic effect due to a competitive action on androgen receptors within the target organs, is probably the explanation of the mechanism of action. It was further shown that an oestrogenic effect or an appreciable inhibition of the pituitary gland respectively, can be ruled out as causative factors in the mechanism of action.

This study combines product architecture and competitive action by using a survey of the Taiwan IT industry. The analytic framework is applied to the theory of situational management to observe whether there is a good fit between product architecture (modular or integral), and inter-firm competitive action (homogeneous or heterogeneous), which corresponds to the level of business performance. This study thus seeks an in-depth understanding of the relationship between product architecture and competitive action, as well as confirmation for the development direction and competitive model of Taiwan’s IT industry, where some important characteristics have been found. First, to establish the competitive advantages, the product architecture needs to match the competitive action. Second, a firm usually adopts homogeneous action when its product architecture tends to be modular products; inversely, it usually adopts heterogeneous action when its product architecture tends to be integral products. Third, homogeneous competitive action has a mediating effect on modular architecture and business performance. Overall, this study provides a theoretical analytic framework to better understand the interactive relationship between product architecture and competitive action.

AbstractCompetitive tension refers to pressure that is considered to exist among firms operating in a competitive market and that forces them to take competitive action against each other. An imaginary upper limit of competitive tension symbolizes the difference between whether to take competitive action or not. The antecedents of competitive tension are examined in this study. Within this scope, market commonality and resource similarity are the variables studied as components of competitor analysis; market concentration that provides clues for the competitive structure of competed markets; and finally, competitive asymmetry, presuming that the competition among the companies is not equal and rivals do not consider each other at the same level as competing firms, were taken as primary variables of competitive tension. In order to test whether these variables have an effect on competitive tension among airlines, airlines operating in the domestic air transport market in Turkey were examined in this study. The perceived competitive tension that was detected as a result of regression analyses was studied on three different dimensions, namely, internal tension, external tension, and total tension, and each dimension was analyzed as a different model. The findings of the study revealed that market commonality and market concentration have a significant effect on competitive tension. These effects were found to be positive for market commonality and negative for market concentration. Resource similarity and competitive asymmetry were found to have no significant effect.

Evidence from management and business strategy research is divided over whether or not a firm should outsource the components and processes underpinning a new and potentially radical innovation. This investigation introduces ideas and evidence from the areas of supplier relations and industry clockspeed, and attempts to reconcile conflicting conclusions from earlier research by using a survey to measure supply chain management practices from a broad range of manufacturers in the UK. The results show that an industry's clockspeed has no significant bearing on the success or failure of any particular make-buy strategy for a radical innovation. The findings also indicate that maintaining strong ties with suppliers yields no significant long-term benefit for firms contending with radical new technologies.

The corrosion rate of aluminium in flowing neutral waters at 50�C has been determined as a function of pH, oxygen concentration and chloride concentration. The corrosion rate, At, as total aluminium lost between the 4th and 80th day was observed to be logarithmic according to At = B log t+C with a minimum rate in the pH range 5-6, and with B c. 3 x 10-5g cm2, C c. 20 x 10-5 g cm-2 and t in days for oxygen-saturated water. Saturating the water with nitrogen or adding up to 15 mg Cl- l-1 increased the corrosion rate. It was concluded that this was due to competitive action on the oxide surface, between dissolved oxygen and chloride ions.
